   Sushi Ichimura is pure heaven! It is truly the best Sushi/Japanese restaurant I have ever been too.

   Wonderful food, amazing chef, BUT our server mocked us with blatant SARCASM and an EXAGGERATED EYE ROLL, making sure we felt her disdain. Her rudeness was not just uncalled for—it was completely unacceptable for a fine dining restaurant like this. Full story: Since we had already prepaid for the bill and gratuity when making our reservation, and that we only ordered two additional hand rolls during the meal, when settling the bill, we added an extra gratuity of about 25% of the additional amount. However, a female server then approached us, questioning our tip amount. Even after we showed her our digital receipt, she insisted that the system indicated no prepaid gratuity. Thinking we might have made a mistake, we adjusted the tip to approximately 25% of the entire bill and apologized when she came to collect the receipt. At this point, she responded A LOT in an exaggeratedly sarcastic tone, saying something along the lines of, “Oh, of course, no problem at all,” and before leaving, she rolled her eyes at us—so blatantly that she didn’t even bother turning her back completely, as if she wanted us to see. That attitude spoke volumes. After leaving the restaurant, we double-checked the receipt and realized that we had already paid the gratuity. We called the server back and explained the situation, and she eventually admitted it was her mistake. Though she insisted her obvious eye-rolling and sarcasm were “unintentional,” this undeniably ruined our experience. This was absolutely not the level of service we expected, nor the kind of treatment a restaurant of this caliber should tolerate. Even if we had made a mistake with the tip, did that justify such overt ridicule? More importantly, we had done everything right from the start—it was her mistake. This was the worst birthday dinner experience I’ve ever had. Very, very disappointing.

   Terrific experience. Chef Ichimurra is truly a master at work. The quality and freshness are off the charts. His service team is likewise professional and very solicitous. Expensive as hell but a wonderful experience.

   Excellent Edo-Mae sushi. Service was excellent. The sake/wine pairing is a must, as is the toro/caviar hand roll. Will certainly come back!

    Ridiculously overpriced and over-choreographed. Not nearly enough wow from the dishes and the up charges for everything was insane. This trend has got to stop. Not every sushi joint is worth $750 per person. Gimme a break with this.
