They've raised prices on most items since the last time we visited 2 mos ago. Sushi/Tempura/Beef combos are now at $19.50, about a 15% raise. The joint was only 1/3 full that night & there was no service whatsoever. This place has a unspoken policy of discriminating non-Japanese customers. Although they put out a sign saying no cell-phone use, they never enforced the rule on their own kind. Being a non-Japanese Asian, I, among other friends were confronted in previous visits. Service is indifferent in every occasion. That night the teriyaki beef we got was 3/4 fat. When I asked for a replacement, I was told that it's supposed to be like this. The waitress finally relented when I started raising my voice. The rolls we ordered were sloppily prepared. Waitresses are old and ugly, mostly of non-Japanese. There was this waitress who kept taking away our dishes even though we hadn't finished w/them. What's the damn rush? The business that night was brisk and I hope it stays that way! This place, along with Sushi Yoko on Peachtree Industrial Blvd in Norcross, is owned by the same ppl. We had been to both places many times and that one is not much better. If you are looking for a hassle-free Japanese dinner, served by AUTHENTIC Japanese waitresses, avoid these two places. Two recommendations: Circle Sushi on Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs or Zutto Sushi 's $16.95 buffet on North Point Pkwy in Alpharetta-both have way better environment and restrooms!
Cons: Raised prices while still giving bad service & discriminate toward non-Japanese patrons
