"A few weeks ago, we sat down and no one came to take our drink order for 10 minutes."
"The male waiter/bartender with the glasses and dark hair really was argumentative about the seating."

Food Quality
Pros:
"Everything came out fresh, huge chunks of delicious, lightly sauced fish and the tempura, OMGGgGgGgGG."
"The Aki Nom Nom ramen is the best ramen I've had in my life!"
"Everything was fresh and delicious."
"The sushi and sashimi were amazing!"
"The sushi was absolutely amazing and clearly high quality and well worth the price."
"The food was excellent! I recommend the tan tan ramen."
"The sushi quality was phenomenal."
Cons:
"The sushi was almost room temperature and I ordered the Philly Roll and noticed that there were hard bits in it, almost like tiny rocks."
"The rainbow roll arrived first, the tempura 15 minutes later—cold, greasy, tasteless."
"The buns we're soggy, the pork and chicken in the ramen were dry."
"The food was really meh. Lacks flavor."
"The eel roll was INEDIBLE."
"The pork chashu is super dry and salty, and the broth, even though rich, is masked by the overwhelming salty flavor as well."
"The fish in the rolls was not fresh at all and they tasted fairly mushy and unappetizing."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Felt like a nice hole-in-the wall place."
"All you can eat sushi! Great quality sushi, a great bar and a fun atmosphere."
"The atmosphere was chill and inviting."
"The atmosphere was fun for a Friday night."
"Great food, balanced atmosphere for either a romantic dinner or a fun dinner with friends, and good service."
"A low key vibe and friendly service."
"The decor was very nice also."
Cons:
"This could have easily been a 5/5 but the atmosphere was eh."
"The lights were super bright didn't have any music or sounds in the background to set the mood."
"The resturant seems really short staffed and the servers were stressed."
"The restaurant is a bit dated in my opinion."
"Table and floors were sticky and just felt unclean."
"I was really sad to see while I was leaving that there were two tables at the front that were just tucked away with a little waterfall that would’ve been so much better honestly."
"For starters, we made a reservation for 7 pm on 6/27, and we got possibly the worst table squashed in the corner between the prep station and a full party of four barely giving us room to move."
Value
Pros:
"The drinks and food were very reasonably priced."
"They have all you can eat sushi for $30 per person which is an amazing deal."
"The all you can eat sushi deal is worth the cost."
"The all-you-can-eat sushi deal is a good value for the price, especially since it includes appetizers and special rolls."
"The food is reasonably priced, and the lunch special is a deal."
"Amazing Sushi, Great prices."
"They have one of best lunch special available anywhere."
Cons:
"The meal overall was overpriced based on the portion."
"Unfortunately for the price you’re paying, it honestly is more cost effective and tastier to just pay for an a la carte sushi place with more focus on quality control and ingredients."
"It's super expensive, which is fine if it was good."
"The dessert was surprisingly pricy compared to the price of our entree's."
"For a $32/person ayce sushi I expect better food."
"Drinks were a bit expensive but it was expected for this part of the city."
"Total bill was $75. Funny thing, the drinks were just as much as the bowl of ramen."
