"This is hands down one of my favorite sushi restaurants but I can’t give it the 5 stars I want to give it because of certain caveats. Here’s the down low on the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Let’s start with the good. The sushi is expertly and exceptionally prepared. It is not only fresh, and beautifully plated but it comes with an array of crafted sauces that are divine! I’ve eaten at A LOT of sushi restaurants, high end and not so high end, since sushi is my all time favorite food and I have yet to find a spot that makes sushi better than Ume (which used to be Rusans back in the day and still serves several of Rusans original dishes like the Big Eye, Ocean’s 11 and Spicy Chicken Yaki udon.. all delicious by the way). Not only is the sushi the best you’ll ever eat, but they are not chintzy on portion sizes either. I would highly recommend the Cherry Blossom, Tuna Dumplings, and the Lobster King crab roll. Into spicy? Then the AK47 is where it’s at! Now for the bad. The entire 4 stars is for the food alone. It probably should be 3 stars but the food is just that good. The ambiance, however, is not so great. The restaurant needs to upgrade the seating, the decor, and the restrooms desperately. A couple of years ago they were working towards this goal but they seem to be struggling to get back on track after the pandemic. To make matters much much worse, they seem to be really struggling with finding enough staff to service the dining room adequately. It appears that many customers go with the takeout option as my husband and I are often one of just a handful of customers in the dining room lately, if not the only customers… and this restaurant used to be packed a few years ago. The Ugly is how bad the staffing situation has gotten …while I am a huge fan of kids and I think it is important that they learn a strong work ethic, I don’t really want to be served by them when I go out for a meal. While this only happened once, if it had been my first time eating here, I might not have come back. Dining out is as much about the experience as it is the food. I hope they are able to find more staff soon and can get back on track again towards being a phenomenal restaurant!"

"Bad food Quality Bad service in house Lack of follow up Unprofessionalism from the Owner I came here on July 5th with my child and spouse, and ordered the following: 1. Bento Box w/Sashimi 2. (2) California Rolls 3. Dragon Roll 4. Some other roll They brought out the Bento Box first, without the sashimi. This was my spouses meal, in which we waited but after 5 10 mintues we decided to share it due to the wait. I had asked the cashier twice where and when the rest of the food would come, (mine and my childs order) After waiting 20 minutues, and also completing the Bento Box, I asked the cashier to at least bring my childs california rolls out. They did, and we waited AGAIN. After another 5 minutues, I had asked what was going on with the remaining order, and let him know we still did not even get the sashimi from the Bento Box. He then left and brought out the sashimi, which we hungrily ate. It took another 5 minutes to get the dragon roll, and then after some time, the last roll. Once we tasted the dragon roll, and the lat roll the seaweed used was not fresh, extremely chewy and stringy. The sushi roll had old or ingredients used that had been left out, that made both rolls un edible. This in turn, did not give me faith in eating the sashimi that came late. Further, when I made note of the old, bad quality sushi rolls, my son stated that the california rolls also tasted old. We were unable to eat the following: 1. Sashimi 2. Dragon roll 3. other x roll 4. (1) California roll Also, each food item came out 20 minutes apart. I let the cashier at the front know, in which he told me he did not have the ability to process a refund and would call the owner. He gave me the owners phone number and said to process my refund of $74.49 she would be calling me here shortly. I never recieved a call that day, and called Bento Box later that night. The same casher assured me she would call she did not. I called the next day and was told she would call she did not. I was given her phone number again, and told to give her a call. It is now August 4th, thirty days since Ive tried to get this handled. I have texted the owner a total of 9 times for my refund, and called her number as well as the restaurant at least 10 times since. I just want my refund due to lack of quality, food, service, and now clear and apparent unprofessionalism in handling this matter that has led me to have to write this review"
