    So-so experience and not typical from our previous visits. Rolls were slathered in sauce v topped. Server forgot part of the appetizer order. We had to ring for service as server did not promptly follow up after entrees were delivered.

    Sashimi needs to be served in bite-sized pieces. Unfortunately, I had cut it myself, with a pretty dull knife. Not ideal. It was fresh and somewhat tasty. But just not next level. The soft shell fried crab was just excellent. A little salty, but that's just me. It's a must try. The Miso soup was really, really good. Miso is so simple but also easy to mess up. This was very good 👍. So all the sides including the sake and green tea was all excellent. But you need the main reason you are there to wow you and unfortunately it didn't. Good was just not good enough!
