Let me say that my husband and I used to looove this place. However, it has really lost it's appeal! We dined there tonight for a free birthday dinner and we left VERY disappointed.We arrived at the restaraunt at 8:50 and they closed at 9:30 we figured we would have enough time to eat and enjoy our meal. We were rushed the entire time, they wanted to cash out our bill @ 9:00 and started pulling food and cleaning up at 9:20. We had to ask repeatedly for them to restock sushi and crab. They never ended up stocking the sushi because it "got too late." We never saw our waitor/waitress (who were busy cleaning and refilling soy sauce containers) and we ended up filling up our own water refills. The quality of the food was mediocre. The sushi was mushy and loosely wrapped. There was not much variety. The hot food was barely warm and everything tasted chewy and old. We will not be going there again...even for a free birthday dinner. Next time we'd rather go to Sushiville or Sushi Land instead!
Pros: validate parking, free birthday dinner
Cons: lousy service, little sushi variety,

This place used to be great... well me and my Husband went there recently on his birthday for dinner and it was a joke. The sushi seemed to be okay but the rest of the food seemed over cooked and greasy. Years past experience the food was fresher and didn't have that over cooked heat lamp look. I used to love their tempura, but this time it was all mushy and looked as if it was cooked in very old oil. Even with the birthday "discount" our dinner still ended being $42.00 not to mention he got seriously sick afterward about 1:00am after dinner he was really sick. I called the restaruant just to let Manager know that my husband had came down getting sick after eatting some of the food that I didn't eat and he (Steve) totally acted unconcerned, unsympathic and tried to brush me off with free dinner comp tickets. (BLECH!! NO THANKS)
Pros: free parking vaildation
Cons: bad food, WAY over priced
