Not worth the price

by topcatwawa

The fish was pretty fresh, but we have several issues:

- They do not take reservation and that is fine. We went there on a Tuesday night at around 8:10pm, no table for 2 was available. The hostess said the wait would be about 30 minutes and she wrote down my cell number and she’ll call me as soon as a table for 2 opens up. We walked around the neighborhood for about 20 minutes and decided to check back at the restaurant. We saw a table for 2 in front is all set, but the hostess hasn’t called us and she was nowhere to be found for several minutes. Right after we walked in, another couple walked in right after us. Who knows what would have happened if we didn’t check back early.

- Slowest service in the world. We got a complimentary small dish of edamame soon after we sat down; our drinks came a few minutes later. Another 30 minutes later our waitress walked by and asked whether we got our salad yet. The answer was “NO”, and she looked surprised. Around 9:25pm, we finally got our first plate of sushi. Now we understand why the edamame was complimentary; we could have starved to death. We finally finish dinner a little after 11:00pm. This a very small restaurant with two sushi chefs. Why so slow? This is not the definition of Slow Food.

- No wines at all; very small sake and beer list. They can serve nontraditional sushi with a twist, but they can’t serve wine???

- Very limited choices of seafood.

- Very expensive. The two of us had nigiri (not sashimi), 3 small glasses of sake, and 1 green tea, and the total bill was over $200 excluding tip.

I would have given one more star if it wasn’t so expensive. I can almost see the owners laughing all the way to the bank. We have sushi all around US and Asia and have had plenty of better sushi; some are less expensive and some are more. For the prices that they charge, you would expect much better service and more variety of fish. We won’t go back again.

• Pros: Fresh fish
• Cons: Very expensive, limited choices, slowwwwwwww service

Never Again

by GoldenSF

I can't think of a single nice thing to say about these guys. Long wait, rude staff, poor service and the fish wasn't very fresh. I was sick all night after eating here and would never recommend this place to anyone. Never again. And the owner/chef was such a jerk2me.

• Pros: None That I Can Think Of
• Cons: Bad Food

Worms....

by SFFoodLuver

There were worms in my fish. The server was rude, and when I asked for my money back, they refused. I will never step foot in this place again.

• Pros: none
• Cons: worms, service
