| - I went here for lunch this past Saturday for some mini-graduation celebration with the parents. It leaves a lot to be desired.
While the layout is unique (different eating areas for privacy), it also makes this restaurant feel cramped. One interesting piece is the Kids' Area in the back with 2 Xbox 360s and a PS3 set up on some dining tables. Umm, different, but I appreciate the effort?
The décor is pretty nice, a little too upscale for what this place is at times, but still pleasing. So why are the menus printed out (parts of it cut off), folded, and not even laminated? Hmm... The drink menus sure do have a nice leather menu even if the outside is never cleaned and make you want to pick it up with a napkin.
So okay, whatever, we sit down and it is kind of dark. I had to unfold my paper menu (lol) and tilt it up to get a strip of natural light to read it. The waitress did not really seem to be all there but I think she was used to the night shift (she had on a cheetah-print corset and some spandex-looking pants). We order, food is overpriced for the quality as well as slow to come out. I got the Dragon Roll (hard to screw up IMO), my mom got the tempura shrimp (average) and my dad go the sashimi plate (presentation was nice). The host (yes, male) had to refill our drinks. Kinda sucks because this place is close to where I live and has $19.99 AYCE sushi (sans steak & sashimi) for lunch. The sushi is definitely not TERRIBLE but definitely nothing to go out of your way for. Also, I only tried one roll. I gave it two stars based on that.
If you are coming to get drunk and have mediocre sushi but can't quite afford or feel like driving to the strip, I guess this is OK. I will (read: have to) come back to use my Groupon I bought awhile ago... But hey, it's down the street.
