"First time trying this spot. It was busy but the sushi bar seating was available, so we sat there. 1) The restaurant was very loud. 2) There was a noticeable difference in lighting for the restaurant and the sushi bar. The restaurant was dimly lit, the sushi bar was glaringly bright in contrast. This is because the chefs making the sushi shared the same lighting as the diners at the bar. We sat for quite a while before our server approached. She was nice and apologetic for the wait. We had Ichiban on draft, which is great. We tried the baked green mussels and were very disappointed. We love this appetizer but the one here just tasted like hot mayonnaise. Maybe it was an off night. I'd had enough of the noise and squinting under the bright lights so we paid and left. We're going to try again, during the day, and sit outside."
