We had an ok time, but would not go back. The dark vibe and blue lights was a little strange and felt like Vegas or Hollywood. The food was good, but one of the desserts (mango mochi ice cream) was terrible. The strawberry mochi ice cream was delicious so not sure what happened.

Walked up and the radio was so loud I thought I was going to a club. The waiter decided to tell me I shouldn't drink my Don Julio iced. Weird. He actually gave me some attitude. The energy was honestly chaotic with the wait staff and orders. The food and the chef is amazing but it just needs some work on taking care of customers.

It would be really nice to know or completely close booking when the restaurant is closed. I got a confirmation a day before the reservation,arrived on time the place was closed! Hmmmm 🤔

We were very excited to try out this restaurant based on some of the reviews. The sushi was good but far from exceptional and not worth the cost. The service was definitely lacking. It took forever for us to get a cocktail we had ordered and had to ask about it at least 3 times before they brought it. This was before the restaurant got busy. Once the place filled up, it was almost impossible to get our server's attention. They had a Mongolian performer playing a unique looking instrument and singing along in a very guttural almost unnatural sounding voice. It was interesting the first 10 minutes, but quickly lost its luster and became somewhat annoying after that. We tried the restaurant but probably won't be going back.

Beautiful plating presentations on absolutely delicious dishes. Not a single bad choice on the menu. We enjoyed the shishito peppers with bonito flakes starter which converted my husband and daughter from smirky “I don’t eat that” people to “Oh my God that’s so good - gotta have more” people. The signature yellowtail sashimi was not only beautiful to look at but also melt in your mouth delicious. We look forward to going to Karma Sushi again.
