| - In short: the food is fine, but service and ambiance are nonexistent. Go in knowing that and you should be just fine. Arm yourself with a Groupon for a discount and you really won't mind.
Walked in to staff watching TV in the dining room. I walked in and they abruptly shut it off and dispersed. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered two rolls and a miso soup. I got my water, but no soup. Chef made my rolls and made small talk. He was friendly. Server who took my order and rang me up said but two words to me, never checked on me, refilled my drink, or brought the soup.
Menu has standard Americanized rolls- in addition to the usual Philly-Cali-Dragon stuff, there are a few house rolls, each around $10. Menu also offers AYCE, kitchen items included in addition to the sushi. There are some interesting options to make any roll into a low-carb cucumber roll (riceless) for a flat rate, or to make a sushi burrito, with iceberg lettuce? Didn't opt to try those items.
The Julio Jr roll (Chopped albacore, green onions, cucumber topped with halibut, cilantro, jalapeƱo and ponzu sauce) was fresh but didn't have much of the ponzu sauce, which probably would have kicked up the flavors a bit. The Salmon Lemon roll (Salmon tempura, garlic aioli, masago, avocado, asparagus, topped with salmon, lemon, ikura and ponzu sauce) was decent, even if the combination of tempura salmon and fresh salmon was a new (and odd) one for me. Neither the asparagus nor the ikura had much flavor.
Can't say I'm likely to come back. It wasn't even so much the lack of service from the server that was an turn off, so much as their overall careless attitude. No thanks.
