    Outstanding, I’ve been many times. I invited a few friends who have never been, and I person who never had sushi before. Skeptical at trying it, but did. Now a big fan and is returning next week.

    The food was absolutely delicious! We had the duck bao buns, California roll, baked scallops, miso soup, eel roll, spicy tuna roll, all delicious! My Bonsai Mule wasn’t as delicious as usual, I was brought some mango juice and ginger beer to mix it to my liking which was ok. Unfortunately our waitress wasn’t very attentive. She put in the wrong order and then became defensive and blamed one of our party for her mistake. Afterwards she walked back and forth and never asked how we liked our meals, brought our check without a thank you or any comment about whether everything was ok with our meals. We got better and more friendly attention from her assistant busboy who couldn’t have been nicer and more attentive. One of our guests was celebrating a birthday which the staff was aware of and nothing was brought over to the table so what was the point of asking if we were celebrating any special occasion. Food was absolutely delicious, waitress needs training from the busboy. Hope to get better service if we return.

    Food was excellent but pricy. Service was slow and food came out piecemeal. I assume whatever was ready came out first. Ordered sushi and fried rice and wanted the rice with the sushi but it came out dead last as we were already full.

    We loved the food and the service. Both were excellent. This place brings out food when it’s ready and that’s a good thing. But, we had an issue with one of our dishes not arriving with the meal. Fried rice. We weren’t feeling eating a bowl of fried rice by itself at the end of the meal. Our excellent server apologized and cancelled it but it was a tad disappointing. Also, the noise level was waaaaay too loud. We don’t mind an active lively place but we sat next to each other and could not hear each other talking without raising our voices. They need to improve the acoustics.
