New owners. They were kind but had no idea what they were doing. We went there for Anniversary because the old Vana used to be amazing. We got there at 605P still waiting for our food at 740p! Pity this isn’t as good as it used to be

Just know that they don’t actually serve sushi. Ambience and wait staff was great, but not what they advertise.

We came to this sushi restaurant to have sushi. After we were seated they tell us there's no sushi tonight. What?!?!? We didn't walk out and tried to make the best of it. Service and ambience was great. The food was ok that we had but we had come for sushi so there was already a lot of disappointment. Wouldn't come back until sushi returns.

Went for Sushi, but apparently something happened and there was no sushi when we went. Very disappointing and we had to order off a very truncated menu from what they show as their menu online. If we had seen the menu we could order from before we left we would have gone somewhere else

Parking nearby not on restaurant property. Walk down a narrow hallway to a dark dining room at the back. Menu that evening was small and restricted. Prices definitely on the high side for sashimi Waitress got orders wrong twice; she was asked whether a particular order was spicy and she replied “no”, yet it was spicy when we tasted it. Wait for food seemed long. Didn’t use the washrooms so I cannot comment on the washrooms.

We were very disappointed. Not only were they out of some of their main dishes but the Happy Hour menu that was displayed on the entry table wasn’t current. We were the first reservation at 5:00 and we almost left when we were told the lamb chops and NY strip were unavailable along with the Brussels sprouts. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 sushi rolls which were decent but not worth $150 with tip. We won’t be back.
