``My husband and I went for his birthday. The lobster in my sushi was extremely stale and tasteless. The soft shell crab in my sushi was burned black. We had to special order a spicy crab roll, because they did not have one on the menu and, then, it was made incorrectly. We asked for spicy crab inside only, and they put avocado and cucumber in it as well. The server was extremely slow to refill drinks, so most of the meal was spent with a dry throat. The server also forgot it was my husband's birthday - so my husband got no special dessert or anything. We were extremely disappointed and will not be returning.''

``If you want a low key sushi experience, this is the place. The only noise is the quiet jazz playing in the background. You don't share a table with strangers or sit on top of the a hot Hibachi grill. I eat there two to three times a week. Two thumbs up!''
