Since moving to Maine, we had not eaten sushi out, and was pleasantly Surprised by the atmosphere, the service, and the food was delicious! Great Sushi and combo dinners. Will be going back. :)

We were told that the chefs were in an argument. Moments before we stood up to go a waitress came for our order. We stayed and people enjoyed their meal but a couple of orders were screwed up. We go to kon often because it’s fun for a large group of people, but this may be the last time we go due to the poor service.

                                                                                Is this helpful?
