    Bar table service was awful. Not well staffed and the bartenders are clearly frustrated. Constantly had to flag down service. Food was not that good and way too expensive for what we got.

    Server was great, actually the best thing about our visit. Our angry edamame came out literally frozen cold like it had just been pulled out of a frozen bag. We thought the food was overpriced for the quality, over $300 for 3 of us. They brought out the wrong salad for one of our diners, which we thought just tasted odd until we got the final bill and realized they had delivered a totally different salad. Disappointing experience. I think the Scottsdale location has better ambience.

    Everything about tonight's happy hour was great. My bama roll was delicious; friend liked her crunchy crab roll. Our server was excellent! And manager Suzana made a special trip over to our table to say hello and make sure everything was perfect; this was much appreciated! Thank you all for a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely be back!

    Sushi very good. Breakfast items nothing special. very small eggs and small pieces of ham with standard Sysco fried potatoes. Skip the brunch and have the lunch.

    Calamari was burnt, rice on entrees had hard uncooked pieces that broke filling in tooth. Manager made us feel like we bothered him when we told him about the rice. VERY POOR! WILL NEVER GO BACK!
