I ai Sushi

A close friend of mine just ate here and apparently he had a bad experience especially for his first time being there. I guess if you weren’t so rude to your costumers who are paying you to eat there. You wouldn’t have such bad reviews, maybe you should think of the way you treat your costumers next time or you wouldn’t have such bad reviews and business. Kindness and respect goes a long ways. Also I won’t be coming here myself considering my friend had such a bad experience I don’t want to get the same treatment as they did. So therefore you won’t get my business either. Now if you were nice and considerate I would have gave your business a shot but since you have such poor hosting skills it doesn’t deserve my time or experience.

This place has the best authentic Japanese food. Tonight, I had the Eel and Gyudon bowl and the Takoyaki. My partner had the Spicy Cod Omusubi and Chirashi. We've been coming here for over 3 years now, and the quality has not wavered.

I wanted to try something new that was nearby my chiropractor. And I was in the mood for sushi/sashimi. I was kind of excited when I found it was located right nearby. The photos of the plates looked pretty good so I figured why not? And the pricing was a little elevated, but I would like to think for the pricing it still would’ve been OK. As soon as I walked in, the woman could barely speak English or appear to barely speak English. They have no fountain drinks, it’s all bottled even though the jasmine tea was good. They don’t offer a military discount, which OK, I get it some companies don’t and that’s OK too. You pay first before being served, which is a first for me with one of these type of restaurants but again not a problem. When the food was served, I actually needed to question the spicy tuna because of the texture. I have never heard of spicy tuna rolls, being chopped or mashed.. The eel roll wasn’t as tasty or crispy like I had hoped. My salmon roll with cream cheese, a.k.a. Philly roll, could’ve used a little bit more cream cheese, and you had to pay extra for the cream cheese. When I was done, I had asked to use the bathroom, now we won’t go into it too much but about five minutes into my being in the bathroom someone knocked, and I said it was occupied. The second time a knock came through and a woman’s voice called out “you need to leave now“. Now - I was paying Customer and there was no one else in the restaurant when I stepped out of the bathroom still needing to go. So to the owners, as far as I was concerned, I paid to eat there and I was paying Customer and it shouldn’t matter how long I was in the bathroom for because I needed to go for those purposes. The woman was very rude! If I could put -100 stars for everything, I would. I certainly would not recommend this place to anybody! And I’m making sure it goes on all my media for sure!

There were five of us, we were all new to this restaurant. The atmosphere was a typical dive restaurant but the service and food was excellent. It felt like we were in Japan, very authentic!

I've passed by many times and did not stop because I did not like the location vibes I got. They seemed surprised I was there for lunch but they were open. When testing a sushi place I order the sashimi and look for any of my favorites. In luck, they make spider rolls, a favorite of mine. The salmon and white tuna were great and the tuna was good. The clam and shrimp don't ever change from place to place. There was no yellow tail, one of my favorite sashimi's. The sashimi selection could have been better. The spider roll had the classic flavor I look for, very good! The place itself looks cluttered, dingy and unorganized. It felt a bit claustrophobic. As you turn the corner it opens up a little. Massive menu of interesting and obscure items. I'm definitely going back to try a more diverse selection. It may take while. If great food persists, then it will go to 5 stars. Ramen is next.
