Fortunately, we live in the neighborhood and this has become our go-to Sushi restaurant for many years now. I've tried any number of places in the area, and always return here because the consistency in quality is always reliable. In truth, we order in more often than we go out because it's usually a last minute decision and the restaurant is popular and reservations are pretty much a must, at least for the first hour or so during the lunch period. For a long period of time, there was a sign in a space a few doors down saying this would be the restaurants new home. Alas, nothing's come it, so far. For lunch, we usually order from the lunch special menu, which is a decent value and has a broad enough selection to keep us happy.

We arrived on time for our 9:30 reservation. (When I booked, there was also a 10pm reservation offered.) No sooner had we sat down when we were informed we needed to hurry up our orders. We ordered the wine and appetizers to get things moving. Shortly thereafter the server reappeared and stood there until we ordered our entrees. Two of our party of four felt extremely rushed. At 9:50 we asked for another order of the (excellent) mushroom appetizer and were told the kitchen was closed and this was impossible. What would have happened if we made the 10pm reservation? The bill was brought and we were asked to pay when some were still eating ( one person didn’t finish her meal). This place should be takeout only. Our dinner for four was destroyed by the uncaring staff.
