Went there for Mother's Day. Booked a table a week in advance. Got there when they opened at 5pm. 7+2 highchairs. We were seated in the room near the washrooms.

We started with drinks and appies. Ebi sunomono, Miso soup, and a few other items. Soup promptly came out. The sunomono and other items came about 40 mins later. No quarrel there. I can see they were busy.

Ordered more food as other items were coming out. About an hour after our arrival, a waitress told us we only have 12 mins left before we HAVE to leave, as there was another reso for our table. She also said we were not allowed to order any more. We were, obviously, shocked.

I asked to speak with the manager. I believe her name is "Yoshimi?" Told us cause it's Mother's Day, there is a time limit of 1 and a half hour for the table. I asked "Why wasn't I informed when I made the reso?" She apologized for making a mistake.

So basically, we reserved a table at this restaurant. Barely got to eat anything. Sat there waiting the majority of the time. And unbeknownst to us, had a time limit in effect. Thank you Matoi! For ruining Mother's Day dinner.

It was small and flavourless like the other dishes. The teriyaki beef which is a dollar more was dry and watery. The tempura was super oily and soggy and the insides were slightly undercooked. I know it was not listed but I would've liked the dinner boxes to include miso soup and California rolls in the sushi box option. I don't know if it was a bad day for the chef but unfortunately I don't think I can bring myself to go back to give them another chance. Wasn't worth it, even with the discounted $28. Very bad first impression. I would not recommend for takeout. Maybe eating in wouldve been a...
