| - Have heard a lot about this premium ayce place, so finally gathered up a group to come try the place.
To call and make reservations for this place is horrendous. First time we called and was on hold for 15 minutes and had to hang up to get back to work. Second time was for 20 minutes to finally get a spot! The only one left was 9pm saturday. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the reservation process, I think they need to change something.
We got there around 8:45 as they were clearing a whole bunch of tables at once to seat the 9:00 seating.
They seated everybody and cleared everybody that was waiting in the front, those who didn't have reservations had to leave because there were no extra tables available.
Once seated we were given an iPad, and told how to do the ordering, and were told there would be a platter of special sushi.
When the special sushi arrived, we had 5 people. Some have 5 pieces some had 4. I had to ask the waitress if we were supposed to get 5 pieces each, and she counted in front of me and asked what I am talking about. Then she realized there were 2 pieces missing and said she will ask the chef to make another 2.
The spring egg is pretty good, the tempura vegetable and shrimp were nice and hot. The pork belly skewer were dry and not very good. The skewers in general were nothing special.
The box sushi and torched sushi were good. Just stick with these. The seared beef roll and sushi were our favourites.
By 10pm they came by and told us this is last call. We just got to eat 1 hour and they told us one more order then our iPad would be taken away. I asked if this includes desserts because I didn't want my ice cream melting, they said yes. So we had to order everything and have it just sitting on the tables. I looked around and everybody had their tables packed with food.
Their slushies were pretty good. But didn't get to try some desserts on their menu. We would order them, then ask after they didn't come. And was told they don't have any.
I know we had our reservations very late, but definitely didn't appreciate paying $40.00 a person including tax and tip, and eating an hour then being rushed out.
Another thing mentioned by someone on yelp, their spoons don't reach to the bottom of their desserts for slush and yogurts. Need slightly bigger shot glasses.
Not sure if I'd come back, maybe for a 7pm dinner hour.
3 stars for the food (unique torched sushi and pressed sushi)
