I am sad to say that our experience was just not up to par. Although the staff was friendly, the overall meal fell short on different levels.
We were greeted in a courteous way. I felt comfortable and had a good first impression. This spiralled downwards very quickly.
Service was extremely slow. Everyone at our table received their food at different times. Even the people who ordered the same thing had significant delays compared to one another. This restaurant needs to improve on timing. Are two sushi chefs enough? It sure didn't seem like it.
The sushi was okay, but I've certainly had better. The rice didn't hold together very well. Nor did some of the fish on the rice.
The worst part was chewing one of my favourites (hamachi aka yellowtail) and discovering a fish bone at approximately one centimetre in length. I felt something hard and poke the inside of my mouth. This was completely unacceptable. I brought it to the attention of one of the staff and even showed the bone on my plate. I was given a reasonable apology and I was told the chef would be informed.
It's really unfortunate things went from good to bad to worse. This place had potential and it just didn't deliver.
