"1. The young lady who assisted me was a bit curt and didn’t smile. While she wasn’t outright rude, I found it a bit frustrating when I thought she was helping me, only to discover she was suddenly on the phone, leaving me to talk to myself. Another young woman also informed me that she was on a call and would assist me once she was free. It was a bit embarrassing, to say the least (lol)!
2. Is there a global shortage of uni (sea urchin) right now? If I recall correctly, the last time I tried to order uni, they didn't have it either. This evening, I faced the same issue. I then asked for red snapper, only to receive the same response: they were out of that as well. I was left wondering, "What else do you have then?" LOL!
On a positive note, there were some highlights:
1. I really appreciated the restaurant's interior; the wood decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The sushi bar had a lovely ambiance, enhancing the overall dining experience.
2. The sushi/nigiri pieces were a good size. I've been to many sushi restaurants where the rice portions are excessively small, seemingly an attempt to cut costs. This place is an exception—I was genuinely pleased with every piece I ordered. The yellowtail, saba, and scallops all tasted incredibly fresh.
3. The sushi chefs were welcoming and kind. As I was leaving, both chefs expressed their gratitude with a nice thank you.
This review sums up my experience on Thursday, June 8, 2023. I understand that every restaurant has its good days and not-so-good days, and I still support this one. It remains one of my go-to spots in the DTC neighborhood."
