    Sushi well prepared of good ingredients. Kitchen had trouble coordinating service so that one was served and the other waited >10 min. Beverages available did not correspond to menu items. If you overlook a lot, the food was good.

    Food was great, but the service was luckluster. Granted there was only one server running around to all tables, but the times that she would stop at our table she wasn’t particularly friendly and just rushed through taking our order.

    Fresh/real wasabi. Sashimi platter portion on the small side, but other choices okay size. Be prepared to order a few starters to share cause the main course really isn't big enough for a normal appetite. Overall good quality food. One complaint is the restaurant added a 20% tip for my party of 5 (a bit unusual for not a big party) and server didn't remind me of such. 20% tip isn't an issue nowadays, but auto adding that for a smaller party and not reminding customers is. I looked at the bill and noticed it and didn't over-tip them. Feels a bit sneaky, don't you think?
