"This place used to be one of my go to sushi places in the area. However their service and food have gone downhill real fast. We were only ones eating in the restaurant yesterday and despite this, all the staff were standing around chatting about nothing in particular. One waiter and about 3 other people including the food prep guy are doing nothing but chatting. We had to flag down our waiter multiple times for basic requests, i.e. ready to order, more wasabi, and most importantly our hot sake tasted horrible with a bitter weird funky taste. We told our waiter about it who apologized and disappeared for another 10 15 mins. He finally came to take our order (still hasn 't brought us a new sake back). Another 5 10 mins he comes over and brings us a new sake and actually tells us, sorry about the sake, it was a bottle that was almost empty and had sediment that had built up at bottom of bottle. He didn 't seem to show that he cared that they had just given us this; you don 't serve that to customers. He brings the new sake (still didn 't taste very good) and brings our meals. The meals chicken teriyaki, and sashimi with tempura tasted bland and the sashimi pieces were cut sloppily and looked too big. With all of this we still had to flag down our waiter again (they are all so busy chatting) just to pay the bill. Expecting some form of reconciliation for all this, I get the bill and see everything has been charged even the sake despite him admitting giving us bad stuff (that would have likely made us sick if we drank it). I rarely write reviews and really it has to be significant for me to leave a bad review....but people should know this. Very overpriced restaurant for bland average food. Won 't ever be back here to eat. Go to Sushi House on San Mateo Ave in San Bruno for a far better experience and good quality food (and sake)."
