Forget this place. I've had enough. For the last year, since moving here, I was a VERY regular customer dropping at least $35+ every single time I've been there (I've only ever eaten at the sushi bar), and I've been there more times that I can remember. The sushi is OK. Sometimes it is good, not infrequently is it mediocre, and a couple of times it is has been gross. A couple of times I've gotten blatantly bloody pieces of fish, and some other times i've gotten very un-fresh, chewy pieces. While some rolls are petite and tight, some are awkwardly large and loose that they are unmanageable. A few times I've ordered pieces and they were prepared completely different ways each time. And on that note it's a very inconsistent place too. Sometimes you get the tea, miso, edamame, broccoli, etc. and sometimes the experience is incomplete with something left out. The service overall is sub-par, rarely great, often slow and sometimes bad. There's this one young kid there (one of the sons - it's a family place) that is an awesomely nice and polite kid (if you get him then service rocks!), but the rest of them are cold/slow/void. The older man running the show (at the sushi bar) is unbelievable. I won't bother going into the details of my many un-positive experiences I've had with him, but this last experience him was so absurd and so ridiculous that I am NEVER going back to this stupid place ever again (and it was the very first time that I ever brought somebody with me!). Though the prices don't destroy your wallet, the pieces definitely are overpriced for what they are and how uncreatively they are composed (can we try NOT putting crab everywhere?). And, they aren't even Japanese either (they are Korean or something). Maybe *not* sitting at the bar is a better experience, but if you truly know your sushi this place is nothing special. Combine that with the bad service and you're better off going to someplace that appreciates your patronage.
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Service

I'd recommend the sushi-sashimi combo, the service is generally not so good but the quality of the food more than makes up for it.
Pros: Excellent Sushi
Cons: Average Service
