"Very much wanted to like this place, and my partner and I both kept trying to make things work, as neither of us like leaving negative reviews if we can help it, but we didn't even finish our food. My biggest issue is the sauces they used, the Sriracha was already low quality and tasted like tomato paste with a little Sriracha mixed in, on theme for the super watery soy sauce, and a white sauce that I assumed to be some kind of yumyum, but I'm confident was actually garlic parmesan. The walls were covered in drippings from foodstuff, and the bathroom I went into was not clean at all. I'm really not one to criticize bathrooms in general, they're bathrooms (especially at an ayce), they're gonna be gross, but walking in before my meal was a huge mistake already with a wastebin very full of very obviously used toilet paper. I'm not even getting into the walls, the sink, or the stalls. It also took well over 20 minutes for anyone to see us, which I usually also try to be very understanding as there are other customers obviously, but even after being handed a menu and filling that it, waiting the rest of the 15 just for our server to hand us a filthy (and I do mean filthy, sacrificed the singleply napkin i had to wipe off a pretty noticeable droplet of sauce, but the screen was still pretty sticky) tablet to redo our order, not being able to find 3 of the 7 items we had originally planned on with the laminated menu. (Potentially on us, but we both have a good amount of experience with cash registers from previous jobs) I've never had a miso soup that I thought needed as much help as the one we ordered, it was pretty tasteless, so I added soy sauce, and then tasted it, added a little more, until I get to the point where this miso is a good 33% soy sauce (I'm someone who likes their soy sauce too, don't get me wrong, some of this probably is because of my tastes) before I just set it aside. I ordered the shrimp tempura, which was cooked okay, but a little chewey and bland, even with its sauce. The sushi itself was fairly good; if I had pushed some of the sauce off a littler earlier in the meal, I may have eaten more of it, but the 2 and 3 pieces, respectively, both came with the aforementioned garlic parmesan tasting sauce that honestly made both my partner and I a little nauseous and just not want to order a second round, much less dessert, much less the sweet potato rolls that didn't come with the sauce. This may be a little unfair to include in my own review, so please forgive me if so, but we also overheard the booth behind us with their own issues related to the octopus, which we opted out of after. Overall, trying this place out was kind of a low note to end a day out on, I wish the business and staff better luck in the future, but I don't think we'll be coming back here again."
