My fiancee and I used to visit Benichopsticks on a monthly basis. The sushi they offered was of top quality, and their prices were very reasonable. However, on the last 3 visits, we've noticed a remarkable decline of both quality and quantity of our typical sushi orders.
The size of the fish on the nigiri has dwindled significantly, and the cuts have been rougher. The fish in the maki has also decreased in size; one of my staples was the "Rainbow Roll", but the order I received during our last visit was roughly 1/4 smaller than what we were accustomed to. The sushi chefs have not changed, so we're thinking that they have been told that they were being a bit too generous in their portions and are cutting back a bit.
Additionally, the last time we visited, there were a large number of fruit flies in the dining room, and we were constantly waving them away from our food.
We will visit again at the beginning of the new year, and I hope I can report that this was just a series of unfortunate dining experiences. This is/was one of our favorite restaurants in the area and we'd be sad to stop visiting, but if this downward trend continues, it's unlikely we will visit in the future.
