| - I guess I should start by saying that I love sushi, and that I really wanted to like this place. After eating here, I can say that I still love sushi, and that this now ranks as the worst sushi Ive ever had.
When I walked in the door, the first impression I got was that this place was trying to be an urban/modern/hipster/artistic bar/sushi bar. It was too much. It felt like 3 decorators were given a handful of pills and a free hand.
The service was terrible. There was a girl there who was going from table to table, refilling drinks, cleaning, and hustling. Why couldn't we have gotten her??? Our guy just seemed totally uninterested, and wasnt doing half as much as his coworker. The manager was behind the bar for a good amount of time, but didnt seem to be doing much other than refilling water pitchers. You'd think he could have greeted customers.
As far as the food goes, the better half got a fried rice dish. The first thing I thought when they brought it out was "wow....fried rice shouldn't look ....wet." She had the same sentiments. I got a roll, which was WAY too heavy on the rice which, in my case, was far too dry. There was barely any filling in the roll, and the fish on top wasn't anything impressive. PS: whoever thought it would be a good idea to use smoked salmon on a rainbow roll was nuts - stick with fresh. Or raw/frozen. Or whatever you use there.
Overall, this place offers below average food with below average service at acceptably high prices. My guess is that the location may keep it in business, which is a shame. If you want good sushi at realistic prices, leave kent and drive a few minutes. Sakura and Otani are my suggestions.
