Hands down worst sushi experience we have ever had. Went in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The place was rated high on yelp and was close to our house so we thought we would try it. Two hours later we were hungry and asking for our check. We opted for the all you can eat. I should have known not to stay when were were seated by a wall that looked like it hadn’t been wiped down in a year or two. The table and dishes were washed but grungy with a greasy film on them. The all you can eat was $30 a person ($15 for kids under 12 I think). Pricing seemed reasonable for the quick eat establishment it appeared to be. The appetizers we wanted were “not available” with no other explanation given. The appetizers that were available took almost 15 minutes and appeared to be from a box. Our sushi took 45 minutes. We knew they were busy and the bar was very slammed so we understood. We had two servers, which honestly was terrible because neither one of them was taking responsibility for our table. Once we got our sushi we didn’t have plates and our son didn’t even have utensils to eat with. We had to ask when she came back 10 minutes later because we couldn’t flag her down. My son and husband wanted to order a second round and I flat out said it was going to take too long. 45 minutes later I finally got mad and told one of two servers we had somewhere to be and needed to leave. They offered to box our sushi, which had been apparently sitting somewhere unattended. Then they asked what our bill needed to be because apparently they forgot what we ordered. They had the gall to change us $83 for mediocre sushi and terrible service. They apologized it took so long but after two hours of sitting there I am very frustrated and...

Two horrible visits in a row! I recommended this place to some good friends of ours that visited Jei Sushi today, and they said the food and service was awful. They also mentioned the younger gentlemen behind the sushi counter was rude. I'm disappointed because the husband is active duty and has to leave for Germany in a couple days, so this was supposed to be an enjoyable experience for them. I had loved this place since I found it around 8 months ago, but the last time I was in to eat, I also had horrible service. The sushi was subpar compared to my previous visits. I thought it was a fluke, every business has a bad day here amd there. The younger gentlemen was also working behind the sushi counter then, and the male server ignored my guests and I for the first 25 mins. He also made comments about "sugar mamas" and possibly calling me in the middle of the night- despite me telling him I was married. I do believe he was joking, but I felt offended and thought it was in poor taste. The owners should be careful, someone could easily file a sexual harassment suit. And we will NOT be back if the service and food depends on the mood of the staff that day.

On previous visits, I really enjoyed meeting who appeared to be the owners. The lady seemed like a genuine business owner who cares about her customers, and the older gentleman makes delicious sushi. Maybe they can find out why things are so poor when they are not at the restaurant, but I'd rather not take the chance of spending our hard-earned money to eat here again...
