"To make matters worse, our entrees arrived before our appetizer. When we mentioned this, we were told that our appetizer order had never been put in. Additionally, the entrees came without plates or bowls for the soy sauce. After we complained to a manager, they quickly brought us our water and plates. Then, the service took a turn for the worse. A woman named Kim took over for our original server, who had to leave due to a “family emergency.” When we received our bill, we were shocked to find it was much higher than expected. We noticed five items on the invoice that we had never ordered, including the incorrectly served beers. When we mentioned this to Kim, she insisted the bill was accurate and claimed we had ordered a chicken teriyaki dish, which we hadn’t. It was incredibly frustrating as she seemed to call my girlfriend a liar, leading us to speak with the manager, who turned out to be Kim as well. In the end, we had a bill of $50 instead of the $71 that was initially presented. There were no discounts, no free desserts, no vouchers—nothing offered as compensation. The so-called manager returned to ask if we were still upset, as if we were obligated to sit down and have dinner in their establishment. Overall, this was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. My family and I will definitely not be returning, and I've already informed my company, which is located nearby, to boycott the restaurant. If you’re looking for sushi, I highly recommend staying away from this place. To top it off, the food wasn’t great either; the sushi rolls were poorly made with hardly any fish in them."

"It was a beautiful restaurant, but I doubt I would return for anything except the tempura. The tempura batter was nice and light probably the best I 've had in OC. A note to the restaurant though, I 've never had a good broccoli tempura the batter gets into the broccoli floret and never cooks tastes awful. The same was true here. The chirashi sushi was okay some of the fish was mushy and did not taste fresh. Both my kids had the ramen, and even though they are usually ramen fiends, found the ramen unpalatable and neither could finish even half the bowl. My daughter had the tonkatsu ramen and it smelled and tasted heavily of sesame. I 'm not sure if it was intended to have so much sesame oil or if some spilled in, but it was way too much...and I love sesame! Our server, when we saw him, was very nice and polite but was incredibly forgetful. He forgot basic requests we made, he came and asked how our dinner was almost immediately after it was served and then shortly before we were ready to leave. We had to ask for beverage refills. At one point, he noticed our empty water glasses and said he 'd be right back with more water, but then never came. It seemed like there were more than enough waitstaff to service the number of tables that were occupied, so I 'm not sure what the problem was. There was also a gentleman who was standing on the floor...his stance reminded me of a pit boss or a bouncer. I 'd read so many reviews talking about a manager there made it sound like he worked the room and made everybody feel at home. I guess he had the night off."
