"The ambiance is very fun and energetic. I stayed nearby for a couple of work trips and each time I passed by it's always been packed. They have a cool patio and lots of small groups of people hanging out. Friends, dates, after work happy hours, etc. Pretty cool vibe. I ordered 3 different types of rolls and they all were pretty good. What hindered my dining experience was being seated in front of the sushi bar and witnessing two different chefs handle the raw fish with their bare hands. I can't remember ever seeing this at a sushi restaurant, ever. They always have on gloves. To make matters worse I saw one gentlemen itch his ear, remove his ear buds and place them on the cutting counter, and another guy with a very long beard with no sort of guard to catch falling hairs. I really almost walked out after seeing this but realized my chef thankfully was the 1 guy actually following what would be expected sanitary food prep protocol. I read through a couple of other reviewers mention the same thing about no gloves and long hair or beard with nothing to keep it in place. Really this is gross. It ruined an otherwise pleasurable dining experience. My server was bubbly, friendly, and friendly quick. I think the restaurant itself is very cool but management (and possibly the health department? needs to get things in line."
