I love this place so much, we live down the street walking distance. The food was great the guys working were very nice and welcoming. We could tell they were new so our food took a little long to get, I was understanding of that. What I did not appreciate was the owner just looking over his workers and telling them what's wrong. He could've stepped in and helped, model the work for them. I had ordered the crunchy roll and it took an hour to get, our original server had taken it to a different table so I had to wait longer. At the end, another server, (he seemed like he was training our server) took care of the bill he said he would take the crunchy roll out, I didn't ask him to but it was a nice gesture. When the bill came it had the crunchy roll and when I asked him, I thought you said you'd take it off the owner came up to us and said they don't normally do that because it's a restaurant and situations happen. I then responded, " The server said he would take it off, I waited a long time and it got taken to a different table." He then started talking a different language with the server who got my bill and I could only think he was badmouthing me. I explained to the young server, " We love your food it's amazing, it seems there are new people so I understand the turn around time is not ideal." He said thank you and also seemed nervous afterward, don't know if he got in trouble for taking the item off of our bill. I still left them a good tip. My intention is not to badmouth the guys working. I appreciated all of them and again the food was well worth it. We would come back again, hopefully then the service will be more efficient. But the owner...he was not nice, did not seem nice to his workers and not understanding. Maybe other people take advantage, we were not trying to take advantage. Kudos to the team serving, making the food, taking phone orders. No hard feelings, you guys are awesome!

I ordered take out, the food was fine, nothing special, but I didn’t feel welcome, there was no where for me to sit and despite having multiple open tables and seats at the sushi bar they would not allow me to sit down unless I purchased a drink while I waited. They also had strange rules posted that I didn’t feel reflected good customer service. I would not go back, there are many other places locally with friendlier service. I ended up sitting in my car while I waited for my order.
