"About 15 yrs ago a thing happened.. All those boats in 'river ' floating by for people to choose your plate , kind of moving in the current . Some guy who 's been partying a bit , laughing with friends , carrying on, walks up and decides he wants this nice sushi plate , well he grabs the boat instead of the plate and walks about 5 feet away not realizing the boats are all tied together with like 50lb fishing leader line, needless to say he 's not paying attention and gives a good hearty tug , and subsequently takes out about 20 plates of food !! People are yelling and screaming , pushing away from river desperately trying to get out of way of flying food ! Folks are wearing rice sushi veggies you name it , food is flying everywhere and floating downstream too !!. He finally hears all the commotion and stops and the chef runs out screaming in Japanese waiving this big knife, he wants to kill the guy holding the boat and like, poor guy is just in shock realizing what happened . By this time everyone is in shock how this could of happened. Man was he embarrassed but all the friends never forgot what happened . I still can 't believe they let me in the place repeatedly after all these years . But it was so much fun we almost peed our pants laughing so hard after it happened! Memories "
