I've been to the Kensington location and liked it enough there + this place already won bonus points with me for NOT being Asian Ginza (awful service every time I went there). Went here last night with my brother and his friend. The waitresses at the front counter were friendly, and seating didn't take too long.
I ordered the seaweed salad and ~*vegetable fantasy*~ roll (to type that name any other way would make it seem like a serious name for a serious roll). I always get seaweed salad at sushi restaurants, so I was surprised when this one came with caviar all over it. I'm always kinda leery with sending food back (that scene from Road Trip will haunt my dreams forever), but yeah, caviar isn't exactly veg so I asked the waitress for a new one. Also, when she put down my seaweed salad the first time, she also set down a platter in front of me that she said was my ~*vegetable fantasy*~ roll. We even joked with the waitress that the ~*vegetable fantasy*~ roll should have been served by a hot muscular half naked dude. After putting one of the rolls in my mouth, I realized I GOT SURPRISE SPICY TUNA ROLLED. The restaurant is pretty dimly lit, so the tuna was hidden inside shredded cucumber.
Cue running to the bathroom and getting a surprise tuna roll again, this time in reverse :(
After some discussion, flushing my mouth with water, an offer of a 20% discount and apologies from the staff, I got the actual ~*vegetable fantasy*~ roll and my brother's friend got her actual order of spicy tuna roll. The staff didn't really seem to communicate well with each other, because we'd have one waitress ask us how everything was, and another waitress show up asking the same thing 2 minutes later. Just when the night couldn't get more confusing and random, when we got up from the table, we noticed a PAIR OF BLACK HOTPANTS on the floor by my brother's friend's chair. WTF. Giggling ensued.
The food - when you're not getting surprise ingredients that you didn't ask for - is pretty good and the waitresses at the front counter are actually really nice. I would risk coming back.
