    I usually love the edamame, but it was very mushy tonight. I got the bowl for dinner and it was so salty. I could barely eat it.

    The food wasn’t great. The burrata was spicy which was unexpected, the lobster ravioli was so salty I had to return it. The bang bang shrimp and the sushi roll were good. We also had the lo mein which was also very salty. The service was spot on and the management was fast to help out. They treated us kindly. I wish the food was better. It took quite a while to get drinks, we had our appetizers before we had a drink. Timing of food drops was off since I had my food before anyone else and had to start because it was a hot meal. Overall not great but the location and staff were perfect.

    We had a lovely evening at S3. The service was amazing, thank you Nam especially! Also all the other staff who rushed to move us out of the rain when there was an unexpected pop up shower. The food was delicious too! We had 2 excellent sushi rolls (dragon and blue crab),a seaweed salad, the Chilean sea bass (small portion but perfectly cooked) and we shared the coconut cake (huge and delicious!!) for dessert.

    The food was amazing! I would have given it 6 stars if I could have. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area. If you live here, add it to your list of places to go!

    The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the food came out at odd times & sushi we ordered as an appetizer came out AFTER our dinner after asking about it 2x. My wife also got her meal 10 minutes before I received mine….then the sushi came out. The atmosphere is excellent, food quality is excellent, and wine list was great. I would recommend it & would go back.

    We had an OK experience. The food was good, but timing of different dishes were way off. I ordered a rice bowl and it came to the table 30 minutes before my wife’s sushi roll. Management was apologetic and comped the sushi roll, but it kind of ruined the meal. Hopefully they make some adjustments because the food we had was tasty.

    Its redeeming quality was that you can see the ocean from the restaurant. Our party of 3 was seated promptly. Two of us ordered one appetizer and entrees while the third ordered sushi. Our appetizer never came. The two entrees were delivered for two of us while the third waited for their sushi for almost 30 minutes. “That’s just how we do it.” Makes for an awkward dining experience as etiquette says you should wait until all parties have their food. Service was ok.
