We've been here several times now since it opened earlier this year. We've sampled many items on the menu, and the food is always good. However, the service has varied from ok to bad. I went for lunch a couple times, once the service was quick and attentive, the other time it was poor, to the point where we couldn't even find anyone to get our bill. Dinner time service seems to be the worst. Last night four of were seated, and no one came for 10 mins. 2 other tables sat down after us and received tea right away, while we sat with nothing, and no server to help us. I don't know if it's a Japanese restaurant thing, I've noticed similar lack of service in a couple other asian restaurants in the area. It's too bad, cus the food is good.
We really used to love this place. We always ordered Sushi and Sashimi or one of their dinner specials (A,B or C). However, the last 4 times we went there (and I have a hard time to believe that this could be coincidence) we had to return the tuna. All other fish and rolls were very good, however, the tuna smelled not fresh and certainly did not taste fresh.
BTW: do not order curry here. This is something they can't prepare very well.
