This review is mainly for people who know good sushi and japanese food and have experience eating it. I am Japanese-American and grew up eating authentically prepared sushi and japanese meals. \r

I had read all the reviews here, including the bad ones, but I honestly thought the bad reviews maybe were from people that didn't know real authentic japanese food and so I would try this place anyways -Boy was I wrong, and I am very sorry to have doubted you reviewers.\r

It is no exageration when people say the building this restaurant is in looks like it should be tore down..it is absolutley horrible looking and in a VERY bad part of town with a lot of street people walking around begging for change. Once inside, your nose detects this really bad smell..kind of like mixing Lysol with the smell of old fish -I really should have left at that point but I was hungry and had driven a really long way for my dinner so I stayed. I ordered their Sushi combo plate, Yakitori and Tempura. The Yakitori was very tough and hard to chew, and it didn't taste very good. The Tempura was SUPER OILY and over fried to the point the veggies dripped oil on your chin -gross. The sushi combo plate was the biggest dissapointment in my life eating sushi -although calling this stuff sushi is really pushing it. First of all, the pieces were SUPER SMALL, and alot of the fish looked dry. The fish also smelled old and not fresh, and it was so warm they felt as though they had been under a heat lamp. Even the rice was dry and tasted old -they couldn't even get the rice right! \r

When I spoke to the owner Pat about this, he called me a LIAR, yelling at me in front of everybody and asked me to leave. This is no way to treat a customer & in Japan this man would lose his restaurant license for bad food & acting this way. To top it all off, when I walked towards my car there were two shady looking guys standing next to it waiting, and I had to turn my alarm on to scare them off. Stay away from this dump!
Pros: Nothing - No Joke!
Cons: Everything was awful: location, atmosphere, food, service, prices.
