    Soup was watered down. Didn’t get sushi appetizers until we’d already started eating main course. For was bland. Not worth the cost.

    Having dinner there on Easter Sunday was so nice! The staff was friendly even when two of my guests were no shows. We were seated in a timely manner and our cook was good. He made the experience fun and the food was good! My family and I will definitely be back!

    This establishment had gone down. It used to be an upscale experience and the service is very slow.

    We had a really great time but if you are one that doesn't like sitting next to strangers then you might want to choose a different spot. It can be kind of noisy but we really enjoyed it for my fiancees birthday and had fun!! You might have to request a cool who does the theatrics because if not you might get just anyone. GARLIC BUTTER IS SUCH A GOOD ADDITION TO HAVE YOUR FOOD COOKED IN INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL BUTTER.

    The food was overly salty. The waitress had no patience, kept forgetting everything that we needed. She should have wrote it down. I ordered sushi it came to the table late. The salad was watered down lots of water in the salad from the water down dressing.

    We waited a hour for our ticket we kept having to ask for it and they kept telling us they were working on it. We were at the restaurant for two hours and 45 minutes. When we spoke to the hostess and another waitress, they just acted like it was no big deal. They wouldn’t try to resolve the problem. finally the manager came out there with the tickets. We weren’t discounted anything. We had a group of children with us and they were trying to keep the cost down and ordered the kids meal with fried rice and it was more expensive than the lunch adult meal adding fried rice to a kids meal, they charged us $5.45 to make it a fried rice so a kids meal with fried rice and a drink cost $28 they should’ve told them that it was cheaper to order an adult meal and get the soup or salad with it, than to order a kids meal and make it fried rice and it’d be more expensive than an adult meal. It was just a horrible experience. It was a school trip. They were supposed to get to ride the trolley before we headed back home but weren’t able to because it took us so long in the restaurant.
