This no-frills Japanese restaurant off the St Marks drag already boasts a modestly-priced menu, but also features half-price sushi nights.

You get what you pay for.

by SashimiGuy

This is by far the worst sushi establishment I have ever eaten at. The signs outside lure you in for 50% sashimi and sushi but what you really get is below average everything (tea, salad, sushi, sashimi, korean dishes, and service...).

My companion ordered the bulgogi, it tasted horrible and I ordered a sushi/sashimi combo. Bad Choice. The sashimi was too salty and the sushi rolls rice was rock hard (recycled?). Whenever I pass this establishment I always smile and see what patrons have been lured into this fly trap.

I'm not a picky eater but 50% HA, THEY SHOULD PAY YOU TO EAT AT THIS PLACE.

  • Pros: Interior design of the restaurant is nice
  • Cons: Everything other than the design of the restaurant

Very Dirty food

by Whatabum

I used to go there a lot since there was 50% off sushi. The last time I went there, it was horrible. They reuse leftovers from other peoples leftovers. Disgusting! My friend ordered the Salad and the top looked freshly coated with giant pieces of lettuce and sauce. However, some people mix the salad around to spread the sauce around, but not my friend. She eats it piece by piece only to find the bottom have came from a previous customer. The bottom had salad which was soaked in sauce and the lettuce wasn't green and crisp. I honestly, swear to god, the first time I looked at it, I told her "why did you play with your salad?" and she replied "It was like that on the bottom."

The same night, we found our Tuna sushi roll mixed with some kind of other fish, white color looking. This place is truly disgusting. They reuse leftover by customers so they can save themselves some money. Next time you don't finish it, ruin it. They will most likely reuse it.

they lie on their menu!! no star for this restaurant if it's an option

by marry10003

I ordered ramen from the menu but surprisingly, they served me INSTANT NOODLE! The waitress told me that many customers complained about it but the boss did nothing (like to add a warning on the menu or take it off from the menu). I asked the waitress to take it back since I didn't want to eat instant noodle but she refused to do so (otherwise she had to pay for the noodle from her own pocket). She sent another waitor to talk to us. This time the waitor even denied the fact that it was instant noodle and gave us an attitude!! In the end I paid more than $6 for this "ramen" which I can get for less than $1 from the supermarket. Never set my feet in this restaurant again since then.

  • Pros: cheap sushi
  • Cons: bad service, misleading menu
