"We were predominantly offered meats cooked to well done, and I mean "well done" in the sense that I’ve had beef jerky that was more tender. When we requested medium rare cuts of steak, a standard request at any Brazilian steakhouse we’ve visited, the server promised to accommodate us but returned with the same skewer of well-done meat, incorrectly labeled as medium rare. Stating it was medium rare did nothing to reverse the overcooking—and being dishonest about it was even more disheartening. The picanha was so tough that it could easily be mistaken for a museum fossil. Ruining picanha feels like a crime against the animal that provided it. The brisket we received was so poorly prepared that it would have served better as a doorstop than as food. I think it was pork (but at that point, who could tell?). It was completely inedible. As for the chicken wrapped in bacon, it seemed to have been cooked days ago, yet was still served to us dry as a desert. The only decent item was the sausage, which maintained its quality simply by being sausage. Without a doubt, this was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a Brazilian steakhouse. I've dined here a few times before with satisfactory results (which is why I'm giving it two stars), but my recent visit was a significant disappointment. I truly hope this was just a one-off occurrence. Please do better and spare future diners the disappointment of such a lackluster meal."

"Wow, what a $40 disappointment for dinner. Driving through the area and had a craving for sushi. Min Ghung was over 45 minutes away, and Kama Sushi's wait was over 45 minutes. Found this place through Yelp. Decided to try them. First, no one greeted me for over a couple of minutes upon my entrance. A few employees made quick eye contact, then just ignored me. A small group of two was already waiting by the entrance and they asked if they could be seated by the bar, where there were 4 empty chairs. The host told them someone would have to clean and get it ready. I figured I should ask instead of waiting for them to acknowledge me. I was told by the host/cashier that there wasn't any space at the bar and that the other two individuals had waited, so I too should wait. After they seated those 2 individuals, I asked again because it was evident there was enough room to fit 3 more adults at the bar, let alone just one more. This time, the host finally relented and say, go ahead. This is one of those AYCE places where you fill out their ordering sheets for sushi and kitchen items. I checked off a few kitchen items and some sushi. Kitchen items came out, 3 out of 4 items arrived. Sushi items missing 5 out of the 14 items I had checked. Missing yellowtail nigiri, red clams, masago, salmon nigiri and eel avocado rolls. The eel nigiri and short ribs and shui mai from the kitchen were pretty good. These 3 items earned them 2 stars, otherwise would be 1 star. The salmon sashimi were tiny cubes that were no bigger than ones you would get in a poke bowl. Spicy tuna was more than half crunchy fried dough fillers, not sure how much tuna was actually in it. Submitted a second order sheet for the missing items, after waiting 15 minutes, finally told by sushi preparer that they were out of yellowtail and red clams. BTW, their red snapper was talipia, NOT red snapper. Will not be back."
