text: I am a lover but I also have to be honest First off I give restaurants a chance to make me a satisfied customer before I type up a negative missivennThat being saidI love sushi I enjoy a fresh and inventive roll know what good sushi grade meat tastes like and will even spend extra on some good ToronnI have been to this establishment twice because it is minutes away from home and an extra incentive was the ubiquitous Restaurantcom certificate A great piece of marketing for this little sushi place but I do not feel that they have taken the feedback to heartnnCons nnUnfriendly staff I was almost afraid to tell the lady at the counter that the Dynamite Roll tasted like baked dog food Upon doing so but with a more candid and diplomatic approach my suspicions were confirmed that my feedback would not be welcomed I received no eye contact a sneer but an offer to let me order another roll No apologies definitely no smiles and certainly no questions to ascertain the root of the issue No one came to the table to follow up on our orders to ask if we were enjoying the food or to offer refills So what was the gratuity for that was automatically added to the bill When we left the restaurant both staff members were nowhere to be seen maybe they wanted to avoid thanking us for coming in Despite the certificate we had we still spent over therennEvery roll seems to have imitation crab meat and the sushi grade is subpar We sampled about six different rolls Quite frankly the best one was the passion fruit kiwi roll which only had about four ingredients Even a baked shrimp and eel roll that was ordered had imitation crab meat Too much rice not enough ingredients and they definitely skimped on the sushi A order of yellow tail sashimi was also disappointing as the meat was a cut which none of us had ever seen before It certainly did not taste like what we were used to and we spoke up about it The response was that this was just a different cut and it was all they had ReallynnPros nnPrices are reasonable average roll is nnCafe style so you order at the counter and your meal is delivered to tablennnnThere are so many wonderful sushi restaurants in the valley dozens in that area and I strongly believe that if you want to stay in business as a restaurant you have to offer something unique Whether it is the freshness and flavor of your food or the incredible service that you offer Take Sakana for instance The moment you enter or leave their establishment the entire staff greets you in Japanese You feel like an old friend stopping in for a visit Not to mention they have some of the best yellowtail sashimi and they are generous with the portionsnnUnfortunately we will never come back here The food is lacking in personality about as much as the staffs
