Service was extremely slow for a lunch hour. Food was mediocre. But what upsets me the most was that there was over $150 (on top of my already $400 bill) originally charged to me, thankfully I go over my bills. It was sent over twice! Because they “accidentally” added another tables bill, but didn’t remove it fully the first time???!?! I felt like I was being scammed!!!! I just find that completely insane!

Excellent food, presentation and service. The part of the restaurant that’s away from the sushi bar is not as cozy as the other sections
