We had lunch there today and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. We both ordered Bento boxes which comes with 3 pieces of nigiri, miso soup, cucumber salad, california roll and 4 pieces of spicy tuna roll. First of all, it took forever before our order was taken. Even though bento box came with miso soup, we decided to order two extra soups so we can have one while we wait and the other with the rest of the meal. But we were served with 4 bowls of miso all at once. Then it was another 25 minutes before bento boxes came out. Three nigiri pieces were 1 salmon, 1 tuna, 1 cooked shrimp. I've never seen cooked shrimp served as part of nigiri in bento boxes. We asked waitress to substitute my BF's shrimp for another nigiri because he was allergic to shrimp and she said no and suggested that we exchange his shrimp for something off my plate (never experienced that before -- server suggesting how to fix situation when the fix should be obvious -- they substitute the item). When we asked for the bill, she made sure to check his plate to see if he actually ate the shrimp and made a comment that it was gone (none of her business, but I ate it). After lunch both of us had horrible stomach ache (but we didn't complain about anything before the food came out so it must be the quality of food). I must say that salmon piece tasted good and miso soup was good. California roll was worse than you can buy in pre-made boxes in grocery store. So was spicy tuna. Both didn't have good flavor and fell apart. I would not go back there again and I wouldn't recommend it to others. Very slow service, strange service and the food quality is not there. The only good thing is salmon but if that is all you are going to eat, you might as well just get it in Uwajimaya. We used to enjoy a quick meal in Sushiland but their quality has degraded so we are looking for a new place. However, comparing Sushiland to this place, I would choose Sushiland anytime.
