Review content:
Overall experience- 2 out of 5 stars. Upon arrival, we stood at the hostess stand for about 3 or 4 minutes, looking around from SOME staff member to come and assist us. Not only was there no one at the hostess stand, there was no one at the bar, no one walking the floor, no one to be found. Finally a very bubbly ""hostess"" emerged from out of the bathroom and gave us seats. Though very friendly, the hostess who turned out to also be the waitress AND bartender seemed quite clueless. I am not sure if they were short staffed that day or are being cheap and not hiring enough staff to take care of their customers, but they were clearly stretching this young lady thin. I would have had pity for her if not for the fact that I saw her standing at the bar texting on her phone for like 5 minutes when we were ready to order. Mind you- she is the ONLY staff besides the man at the sushi bar for the floor, hostess stand and the drink bar. When she finally finished her text messaging, she took our orders. I have no problem with accents but that was an issue in itself, the language barrier between us and the hostess/bartender/waitress. After we order a few happy hour items, she came to take away our menus, which made no sense as happy hour still would last for about another 2 hours. The overall plus of this visit was the appetizers were delicious, cocktails were not bad though somewhat watered down in my opinion. The turn around as we waited for items was not bad at all. We loved the spring rolls and gyoza. It was the SUSHI that turned out to be an ultimate fail. The rice was dry and nearly hard, and the ingredients were not fresh. I could hardly taste it. My friend got the salmon and yellow tail sushi, I got shrimp and avocado. It was useless and I was thankful that it was only 4.50 for the roll. We then waited about a solid 30 minutes before we ever saw the waitress again, and almost walked because we couldn't find a soul to give us the check. When she finally arrived I asked for the check and a refill of water, as she had not touched either water glass the entire visit. She brought back the check and water glass, filled 3/4 of the way from the bottom. We paid out and took a trip to the bathroom, which was poorly maintained. The water pressure was so low, the toilets did not flush, and there was barely any water to wash our hands. This is a major health code violation in my restaurant experience, especially if that is an indication of how their water operates in the kitchen. Suffice it to say, I will not return to this restaurant.
