"Then, one of my co-workers noticed she had been overcharged. The owner claimed it was a system error and asked to speak to her. He explained that the prices had changed a few months ago but expected her to accept the new prices, even though he had given us the old menu with the previous prices displayed. He later adjusted her bill, but I checked my receipt and realized I had been overcharged too. At that point, his attitude worsened. He questioned whether I wanted a refund and insisted that the price was different, but I had not been confrontational at all; I just didn't appreciate being misled about the charges. He threw a bit of a tantrum, and one of my co-workers intervened, saying that his behavior was unacceptable. We stepped outside to wait for our food, which he said would take about 15 minutes. While we were waiting, I could hear him yelling inside the restaurant, clearly agitated about us. When my co-worker finally went back in, we discovered that our food had been sitting by the entrance the entire time. The owner became angry again when she told him he needed to take responsibility and treat customers with respect. He even put his hand near her face and told her to leave. In hindsight, we should have just left and asked for a refund, which we all regretted not doing. Given the pricing and the quality of food we received, it wasn't worth it at all. The service was terrible, and the pricing felt deceptive. I wonder how many other customers have been misled without realizing it—please check your receipts against the menu prices. I cannot recommend this restaurant; while the food itself wasn't bad, for the prices they charge, you'd be better off dining elsewhere."

"The restaurant features a large bar and an impressive sake menu, which I really enjoyed. I tried a house cocktail called "The Beast," and it struck the perfect balance—not too sweet and not too bitter. For appetizers, we ordered a mixed tempura and saba, which my in-laws really liked. We then ordered three rolls (dragon, Asahi, and one I can't remember) along with some nigiri: scallop, king salmon, fatty tuna, saba, and tobiko. I noticed that although they offer an omakase menu, when we asked for fresh wasabi, our server informed us they didn’t have any. This seemed odd, as fresh wasabi is typically served with omakase, but it wasn’t a major issue for us. Unfortunately, the fish didn't taste very fresh, and the rice lacked the right texture. While it was filling, the overall dish felt unbalanced. Nothing about the rolls or nigiri really stood out to us, except perhaps the fatty tuna. The rice was undercooked and falling apart, possibly due to insufficient vinegar. It was surprising that they also didn't have quail eggs, but this wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The tempura ice cream was underwhelming, and the presentation could have been better. We were hoping to find a new go-to sushi spot in town but left feeling let down by the quality of the fish and rice. However, we do want to give this restaurant another chance, as perhaps we just visited on an off day."
