Q: My wife and I live in the neighborhood, so we were excited when we saw Groupon offering the $30 for $15 special. We went in for a 7:00p dinner on a Friday night and were quite disappointed. We started at the bar for a drink after being told that there was a 10-15 minute wait. No problem, even though the dining room was only 20-25% full. The bar experience was fine - a Martini and a beer. Nothing spectacular, but no issues either. It really got bad once the dining began... The menu is quite sparse. The service is worst that I've experienced in quite some time. Slow is an understatement! I had the steak that actually was not that bad, but my wife had a salad that looked terrible and tasted worse. The hostess was texting the entire time and I have no idea where the wait staff would disappear to. The only person that I did see for some time is who I believe is the owner. He was chit-chatting with a large table that it appeared that he knew, meanwhile patrons are walking out of the restaurant. I give it another three months and it will be gone, unless there are some substantial improvements...

Q: This place is so expensive for what little sushi it offers and dinner will run you $35 per person. It's mostly rolls stuffed with more rice than fish, but the oysters, shrimp, king crab, and sashimi are decent. I stack my plate with yellowtail. This places serves UNI (sea urchin) but you have to request it in person from the sushi chefs and each time you do, they will give you this dirty look as if you asked for their first born child and make you feel bad about yourself. I don't give a damn though and keep coming up for more because I paid a lot for my dinner. They'll even go so far as to say it'll take 20 MINUTES to prepare between orders even though we all know uni is raw, and pre-cut. All you need to do is slap a ball of rice on it and hand it over the glass counter. Seriously, just hand over the uni and nobody gets hurt. If you're a local and you have a car, look up OYSHI RESTAURANT and eat there instead. It's $26 per person for all-you-can eat dinner, not $35, has a far larger selection (but it's all sushi and specialty rolls, no hot foods and American stuff but who cares?), and the service and quality is infinitely superior to Todai. You will thank me for this.
