Gag me with a spoon. Wow. I am amazed that this place is even in business. I don't know what was worse, the lack of service, the lousy food, the lack of air conditioning...the two hour wait for food. I don't think there was a single thing this place had right. I have never felt the need to complain so many times in one restaurant...the kicker? The owner didn't care one bit about our dissatisfaction- no complimentary anything. When the waitress offered us free dessert the owner told her it would come out of her paycheck. Nice.

Sushi rolls- very expensive for the crappy portions

Spring rolls- bland and slimy

Grilled asparagus- uncooked (like bamboo or twigs)

Rice- oily

Spinach salad- overdressed and super vanilla sweet

Wait staff- forgot cocktail orders, forgot to bring silverware, chopsticks, refill water, ask about our meal

2 HOURS TO RECEIVE OUR MEAL.

3 Attempts for the waitress to get our check correct (still no discount)

NEVER AGAIN.

First and Last Visit!. We waited over 1 hour for 4 people, the sushi was not good - I'd recommend party of 2 and avoid sushi.

Overhyped, overpriced.. Adequate food, decent service, outrageous gratuity.

Ordered the stir fry. Definately edible, but along the lines of Ramen Noodles without the bullion. $7 for a spinich salad with walnuts and crazins is a little steep, but not completely unreasonable.

What really left the bad taste in my mouth was being informed, when being handed the check, that there was a mandatory 20% gratuity for parties of 5 or more. The service was adequate at best and in NO was deserving of such a tip.

This was POA's second chance to impress me. There will not be a third.

young chef grown up talent. I was visiting Soiree around christmas time and was blown away. I asked the chef to do what ever we wanted for our table. Six courses later my wife and I were on our honey moon once again. When I visit again I will return on my first night unable to wait. Thanks to the chef.
