Sushi is popular with my immediate family, and we made a second visit to this restaurant, which serves Chinese cuisine and sushi. We ordered fun noodles (stir fried wide rice noodles), maki, and a sushi plate. The food was prepared very artfully and was pleasing to look at. The seafood on the sushi plate were very thin, greatly outsized by the rice it was served on; we ended up chopping the rice pieces in half and leaving rice behind to balance the flavors of rice and seafood. The seafood content of the maki rolls were substantially less than what we were accustomed to from many other sushi restaurants. Perhaps this is traditional in Asian cultures. The service staff made strange motions when delivering the food, such as pumping the plate of noodles up and down in front of us before placing on the table. More galling was when we ordered the sushi plate; the menu does not describe what kinds of fish are included. We asked what the sushi plate included, and the waitress said "raw fish". Well, duh! When pressed for what kinds of fish, the waitress said "tuna and stuff". (We later debated lodging a fake complaint that the fish was undercooked just to see their reaction, for laughs! But we didn't.) When asked how many pieces each maki roll supplies, she was unable to tell us, saying "probably 4 to 8 pieces" depending on the roll.
Pros: Nice atmosphere, trendy, beautifully prepared food
Cons: Tough parking, poorly trained staff, skimpy on fish content
