   This review is based on our visit on Christmas night. To start, I want to acknowledge that our server did her best under the circumstances, and I assume the managers and staff were doing their best as well. I truly appreciate them working on Christmas, allowing me to enjoy dinner out with my friends and family. That said, I believe the restaurant—and others in similar situations—should choose to operate either as a To-Go/Pick-Up establishment or as an in-house dining establishment when staffing is limited. Informing diners that extended wait times are due to a high volume of To-Go orders is frustrating for those dining in. Unfortunately, the quality of the food fell short compared to past visits. Dishes arrived sporadically for our party of six over a 45-minute period. One couple had already finished their sushi rolls before the other two couples even received theirs, along with their entrées. While I understand the challenges of balancing operations on a holiday, this experience left much to be desired.

   Pleasant experience as usual. We got our favorite table, right in front of the working chefs. Besides the sashimi assortment, we had the ra chips and ra ra shrimps, both good and filling.

   Still reeling from the disappointment. Both my wife and I agreed that just one of our four dishes was edible. We will not be back. While the manager removed the three offensive dishes, they never spoke to us. Our waitress was wonderful and provided excellent service.

   Food was not as good as our last visit, but sub par service is what made the experience negative enough to want to share it. From the first moment, server was stiff and unfriendly. The worst part was when she brought one soup and salad to our group of three. She said that the sushi platter advertised as for four people should be served as if it’s an entree for one. We advised that must be incorrect, especially since it was handled differently our last visit. We asked to see the Manager and after at least five minutes, the server arrived back with the additional soups and salads and a quiet little, “sorry about that.” We’re expecting she may be new, but that’s no excuse if you customers feel not welcome at your restaurant. If she had just been friendly and gave a descent apology for her mistake, it would have helped a lot. We will think twice before returning.

   The food was fabulous. The food came before our drink order, which did not make us very happy. The server forgot one of our dishes that we had ordered. We usually sit outside, but due to the rain, we choose inside seating. It was super loud.
