The Scene – On initial examination, it's easy to mistake this place for a bar. Art and miscellany adorn the black-painted walls; strings of colored lights, disco balls and TVs are hung here and there; and on weekends a DJ fills the dining room with loud dance beats. All of this makes the environment far from serene, but the leisurely service is courteous and competent. – – The Food – Given the emphasis on spectacle, it's a pleasant surprise that the Japanese menu is so good.

Not so yummy..
by evillagefoodie
Did not enjoy this place.. looks more like a dive bar inside and the staff was not very attentive.. our dishes/glasses were not clean.. the miso soup came out cold then we had it come back (presumably out of the microwave) way too steaming hot...
the sushi rolls were not fresh-tasting .. and the quality reminded me of supermarket sushi..
overall this place is a dump with low-quality food.. There are so many great sushi/japanese spots within walking distance that I would definitely recommend you try elsewhere!
- Pros: cheap, location
- Cons: cheap bad sushi, bad service, bad decor

Not recommended

I had sashimi here once and got really sick that same evening. I'd been eating from this place for about a year, and generally I thought it was okay. Not top shelf, but okay for a sushi place. When I called them about it the next night, the man on the phone was very rude and dismissive. I take my business elsewhere now.
