Salad was not worth the money . The ahi salad had changed, used to be awesome salad . Banbu sushi was excellent but very pricey ! Haven’t been there for years . Way over priced . Plus I didn’t get my points of 750. I called and they said they just use open table for reservations , don’t give points . It said on site it would give 750. Very disappointed. I would have never have made a reservation if that was the case . We will never go again . Way overpriced now.

Server messed up taking our order and he asked if we wanted our fried rice and noodles with our main entree or before and we told him it would be fine to serve it with our sushi rolls. Upon serving our rolls he asked if there was anything else we needed. I said yes, our 2 fried rice and our noodles. We were almost done with our rolls 10 minutes later and the sides of fried rice and noodles showed up. And we had ordered noodles and served us ramen instead. My daughter wanted her roll without jalapeño and it showed up with jalapeño and she picked them out of her roll. It was really a bad experience and no discounts were offered for the mistakes.
