I’m ordering from you guys thousands of dollars Sushi you can check my account on DoorDash. You guys are super cheap on spicy mayo if you guys need more money, I will give you 100 bucks for each order. I do extra for spicy mayo a shame on you guys.!!!!!

The tables are so close together you could basically taste the food from the people next to you. And if you try to have a private conversation? Forget it — the neighbors can hear every word like they’re part of the group.

Part of the Katsuya group, so quality u can trust. Limited menu, but excellent quality and good prices! Less of a wait than Katsuya, down the street, for similar quality.

Used to come here 2-3 times a week but lately maybe once a month. I do like the food and the price is right, but half the servers are absolutely horrible. Had one of the worst experiences to date a couple days ago. Started off with this one older short server who looks tired (always dread when I get him, he doesn’t know how to do his job) just to then be passed around 5 other servers. Dishes all arrived at random times. Got a main dish before any appetizers. He forgot my drink. Gave me the bill without asking if I was done or wanted dessert. The younger tall servers aren’t bad, I don’t mind when I get them, but I swear the two short older ones are awful. Time for them to go or get retrained? Their attitude is so poor too… they treat you like you’re a bother. I honestly started thinking it was personal hate toward me but every single customer in the restaurant seemed annoyed with their service. And why can’t we stick to ONE server? Or maybe give us the option to pick who we want as a server. Wish I knew their names to call them out more properly. But this feels like the Cheesecake Factory now in terms of service quality or one of those mall restaurants. And we’re expected to tip 20% for that type of mediocre waiters. I’m absolutely sure I’m not the only who feels this way as the restaurant is always pretty empty lately…. You used to need reservations for this place. There’s maybe now only ever 5-6 sitting tables at night. Oh well. Hopefully management wakes up and improves. Really sad. Lastly, the inside fees so sterile and bright, like a cafeteria. Used to love sitting outside but lately they don’t even bother turning out the heat lamps or closing the wind curtains.

Outdoor seating was nice, with shade and view of the street. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. Every bite was delicious! And they had some fun specials that were good. I like the live shrimp served with the head fried - crunchy and delicious!

Zero stars.
Absolutely terrible customer service . We were looking to dine here and we parked in a disabled spot and the valet insisted we pay to park there which is completely illegal and disrespectful discrimination against disabled people. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN.
