    Food was overall not bad. They have a "hospitality fee" for 3.5% included in the bill.

    We wanted a quiet place for a date night and some good sushi. We were disappointed on both counts. The fish was fresh, but the sushi was inexpertly rolled and prepared. The cocktails (we had a Moscow Mule and a gin cocktail) were both way too sweet. The tempura was greasy and the agedashi tofu was the worst I've ever had (cold in the center, not crispy, made without care, the dashi tasted mostly of soy sauce). The hamachi crudo was quite good, but not good enough to make up for all the disappointments. Probably won't go back. Oh, and the music was TERRIBLE covers of pop songs that was pretty loud and disruptive to conversation.

    Hello Lito, thank you for dining with us and we apologize for not meeting your expectations. It sounds like we had several misses across your dining experience including on how the sushi was rolled, the sweetness level of the cocktail, and the greasiness of the tempura/temperature of the agedashi tofu. We've sent a note to our kitchen team to ensure we're meeting our menu's specifications and consistency across the board and will review the tempura and tofu to ensure we're cooking it appropriately. Regarding music; Friends Sushi typically sets our music at a low to medium sound volume depending on the business of the restaurants; we'll ensure we set the music level to an appropriate volume. If you have any additional feedback, please email us
