"All the pieces are in place for a great hidden gem but it doesn 't really come together. I came solo and sat at the bar. Chef was very busy cooking so wasn 't very conversational (very understandable, it 's basically a one man band . The waiter (chef 's wife? was very friendly and engaged with some patrons, but that meant the rest of us were pretty neglected. Took a long time to order, and even then she didn 't quite get my drink order right, and nothing could be done (in short, there are many different sake options available, I was asked what I wanted to drink and as I started with I 'd like some sake, specifically I was cut off and couldn 't finish specifying and was just served large hot regular sake . Ordered the sashimi dinner (and I was told by a local to order the special sake which includes a grilled salmon seasoning, but again I was served regular sake . Food was very tasty and fresh, portion sizes were normal if not a tad bit small, but I saw other patrons have other dishes that looked larger. After finishing, it took an additional 20 mins to get the bill, because the waiter was engrossed in a chatting with other patrons, b singing karaoke very loudly (it 's a small room , and c drinking sake. Once the bill came, I was charged an additional table set fee of $9.50. To the best of my recollection, this isn 't listed or mentioned anywhere, except these reviews. So be prepared to wait, and pay, for an overall...okay...meal. Pros: Very good food Friendly chef Cons: Inattentive (drunk? waitstaff Looooong wait times (not for food prep, but for order taking and billing Loud karaoke in a small room Surprise charges Tldr; food was good but all in all probably not worth it."
