I went to this place last year and had a quite good experience and decided to revisit with my colleagues to celebrate something this week. I went there and the server/waitress gave us water and asked right away if we are ready to order and we said we need a few more minutes. Which was totally fine and okay. But she came back within less than a minute (literally in less than a minute) and asked again if she can take our order. Four of us felt a little uncomfortable not only with her asking but also with her tone and attitude at the moment. We would have understood if the place was packed and busy, but it wasn't like that at all. After a while, we ordered some food and one of our menus was a bento box with two different options; miso salmon and teriyaki chicken. We ordered teriyaki chicken and four of us heard what we have ordered so we all knew that we didn't make any mistakes with our order.

I can tell the quality and freshness of sushi because I'm Asian who came from Asia originally and love sushi and sashimi. This restaurant is not the one which make the real fresh and delicious sushi. I don't understand at all why it has so...
Read moreFirst time although I have driven by so many times. Friendly place and Friday at 7:00 it was pretty full. When we left at 8:15 there was a line. My friend and I shared 2 Maki rolls and both were delightfully different and delicious. One was the special Fusion Maki with delicate sweet potao strings on top. The fish was tasty with another crunch inside. You could taste all the flavors. We also shared Cherry Bloosom which prevented beautifully and again, every layer held its own. We each had a mezcal cocktail off their cocktail menu which was crisp, clear and smokey. The vegetable dumplings were tasty but a little greasy but then again, they were pan fried. I would go back again and suited my...
