| - I really was excited about trying this place out, and I REALLY want to give it more stars, but the experience was just so bad for me.
We came in here about a week ago on a Sunday night for a friend's birthday dinner. We had reservations for a party of 40+ people. My friend had planned it, and the dinner guests was comprised of a bunch of his buddies from LA and other cities.
The food was okay, but the service is where it kinda lacked for me. First off, our server gave everyone the option to either do a la carte or the prix fixed menu for $75. Sounds good, right? We ordered and the night kept going on...
Fortunately, we got our drinks, cuz I REALLY would have been disappointed if I wasn't liquored up lol... My boyfriend and I got the prix fixed menu--it sounded like it was gonna be good. Everyone around us pretty much ordered a la carte; their food came out first, and from then on I regretted ordering the prix fixed deal. After about half an hour of waiting, after watching everyone finish their a la carte meal, small plates of sushi were being delivered to the middle of the tables. I was so confused because I thought I was paying $75 for my own plate, not to share with a bunch of people that just had food. This is something that the server forgot to mention--the prix fixed deal was served "tapas style." Had I known that, I would have spent $75 on an a la carte dinner just so I wouldn't have to share. So lame. I was so hungry, and they were only putting out like one plate per 4 or 5 people. I think the server got the point, saw the hungry look on our faces half way through our meal and brought out more food. Only this time it was too late; people were already filling up on the little scraps that were already out (I snacked on so much edamame). It was terrible because there was so much food left over. I felt so bad. I really wish they would have just anticipated to bring out that much food to begin with.
Finally, the bill. OMG. IT. TOOK. FOREVER. Literally took an hour to get the bill. I don't know why, but it did. And it was terrible. The server was so overwhelmed. At one point she even said, "That's it, I give up, I don't know what to do anymore." Everyone had a separate check, some people had cards, some people had cash, some people ordered a la carte, others ordered the prix fixed, and everyone had different drinks. So I can see how confusing it can easily get. I don't know if it was her first time serving a big party like this, but she really didn't seem to know what she was doing--as pretty as she may have been.
Okay, I'm done ranting. Let me share some of the things that I DID like. The ambiance is really pretty. Dim. They've got this sexy Asian decor going on. I dug it. The cocktail/beer/wine menus were on iPads (I still don't get why iPads don't have full menus on them). I tried the lychee sake martini drink. That was tasty. The prix fixed menu wasn't terrible. The rolls were nothing to rave about, but the sashimi dishes were amazing! I'd go back there for some of those! The rock shrimp was also pretty good.
Overall, I probably would have given this place 3 or 4 stars. The other staff members were actually pretty attentive (my water glass was always filled to the brim; I was never thirsty for water lol). It's just that one main girl server that had to ruin it for me. *sigh* I'll probably try this place again some other time. The wound is still too fresh for me to go back there anytime soon, however. Some day, I'll give you another chance, Kumi, someday. But until then, 2 stars for you, bro.
