Critters!!!
by eoheger at Citysearch
Went in late at night (10'ish) and was happy they were still open. Got some saki and ordered some sushi. The food was good, not great, but for a late night sushi fix it pleased me. Sat around after eating and chatted with my friend while finishing the saki. Next thing I know there is a little black rodent running across the floor, bumping into a wall, and scurrying back towards the kitchen. It occurred to me then that some of those rolls don't normally come with toasted sesame seeds =). If I hadn't seen the rodent I would rate this as 3.5 stars but cannot recommend to anyone after that.
- Pros: Nothing makes up for the critters
- Cons: Rodent

No beer but japanese sake???
by asianfoodreviewer at Citysearch
Went several times. It sometimes took so long time to be served, especially busy weekends. Food and the price are just fine, compared to other neighbor japanese restaurant. However, how come there's no beer even though they serve japanese rice wine???
- Pros: price
- Cons: no beer!

Bad experience. Waitress took the wrong order (gave me "delux" when I ordered the regular; not having been there before, I didn't realize until I saw the bill), Sitting at the sushi bar was a terrible mistake (unlike at other sushi restaurants) as various waiting staff kept reaching over my head to drop orders off at the counter and/or take plates from the counter (yes, over my head). The chefs looked swamped and disorderly, one of them kept throwing the bamboo sushi rollers onto the counter (and dropped a little piece of crab onto my menu). The fish didn't feel smooth, and a couple of pieces I had a hard time biting through. Overall pretty rude service too, though it is a "crowded Tuesday night" (not!)
- Pros: location
- Cons: waiting staff continuosly reaching over our heads at the sushi bar; price
