Hotdogs at home would be better!!!!

Don't waist your money or time on the all you can eat sushi. The fish was warm, low quality & very slow service. Under staffed & poorly managed. Way over priced. I would never return or recommend this restaurant to anyone. Ocean aire , Stellas, fujia, Tango, Nami's , Benihanas are my Favorites. Ocean Aire is by far my favorite. Worth every penny you spend there.

I should have read the reviews before going, they are just what I experienced.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Just bad sushi & service. way to expesive

What a shame..

by tandc at Citysearch

This place used to be a favorite of mine years ago? seems as if business has drastically slowed down and the crowd is much older now. I met up w/friends for happy hour and the place was dead. There was not even music on to ease the silence. We sat at the sushi bar and the most annoying thing was that the woman who was working at the sushi bar could not speak/understand english!! (I have nothing against people with english as their second language as I am too an a woman w/a native tongue but that was just ridiculous) She took our orders 3 times and it still came out wrong. Fortunately, someone else finally came out to tend the sushi bar and all mistakes were corrected but it was still a nuisance. We had a couple rolls off the happy hour menu (prices are excellent) and a couple off the regular menu but it just wasn't as great as I remembered. The sushi chef was also able to make us an off menu item which was fried hamachi. Sadly to say, that was the only highlight of the night.

• Pros: Great prices on happy hour!
• Cons: All but the above and the hamachi kama.

I walked out grumpy!

by frizzipunk at Citysearch

Pros: The sushi is pretty good, the sushi chefs are nice and theyre fun to watch, the presentation of the sushi is cool, the restaurant has a cool design to it.

Cons: I went here twice, both times it took way too long for me to get poured a glass of water and there was barely any other tables occupied. I also wasnt offered the hot towel to wipe my hands with but I watched other people around me get offered that, including 2 guys that were about to leave at the other end of the sushi bar. No one checked on me a couple minutes after I started eating to see if the food was alright. I actually ordered something different than what I wanted - if they checked on me and said they would fix it even though it was my mistake that would have really made a great impression. I ran out of water half way through my meal and no one was around for me to get more, then my waiter was about to walk right past me without saying a thing or asking if i wanted more water and i had to stop him to ask! no one asked if i wanted dessert. owner (i think) came up to me and thanked me for coming - the idea is nice, but it was random and didnt seem geniune as I watched him do the same acted out thing to another couple. he could improve by making small talk, especially with me as i was alone. If you want sushi, try origami or nami - street level places with much more attention!

• Pros: delicious sushi
• Cons: poor experience over all
