"Normally a good choice for before theater....this time we had a long long wait to get our food and when we ordered a couple extra sushi pieces, 15 minutes passed and nothing. We ran out of time, cancelled the order, and tried for another 15 minutes to get a bill. Sushi order and bill arrived at same time...and we ended up running three blocks to make the curtain. Didn't understand slow service because they weren't that busy. Had three different waiters in an hour. Original waiter disappeared all together."

"Nice presentation, although on one of our orders of albacore I'm not entirely certain that both pieces were the same fish. After some past poor experiences with service here, we opted for bar seating and had a nice time, getting our orders quickly and happily from the sushi chef."

"On the reservation site, I had indicated that we were celebrating two birthdays but nothing was done for them. When I arrived and said I had a reservation they didn't even ask my name but the food and service once seated was excellent."
