"This is the real deal the only top notch sushi in the Palm Springs area. I stumbled in by happenstance on a Wednesday night without a reservation and since I was dining alone I snagged the only individual seat at the bar. It's popular with locals and the way I noticed it was driving by at 5:00 there was a line of older people waiting to get in right when they opened the doors. Good sign. Service was a bit dictatorial probably because it was so busy and they had to keep things moving but the host (maybe wife and owner) was nice even though she was firm. She just had a ton of patrons to manage. I saw 5 10 parties get turned away since no resy for the short time I waited for my spot to clear. Sushi bar it took a while to eat since they were so busy. Chefs had their hands full. Also full menu is not available at the sushi bar. On to the sushi excellent fish. Right up there with best I've had at some of the high end sushi restaurants on either coast all in an unassuming old school atmosphere. Nothing fancy but yellowtail, tuna, aji, ikura, uni, mackerel, sweet shrimp were all wonderful. The uni was very special. I also loved my negihama roll. Oh expect to pay handsomely for what you get. Take out pork tonkatsu was good also especially after crisping it up in a toaster oven. Had a delicious hot mustard along with the sweet sauce. Don't go here if you're looking for a Philly cheese roll. There's another restaurant somewhere else for that kind of sushi. Go here for great nigiri and the old standbys."

"So I came in this morning looking for a good waffle breakfast plate. Unfortunately they didn?t have anything available in turkey side options(sausage and bacon) so I settled for a chicken and waffles meal. I got a side of bananas and blueberries for 5.00(only half of a banana and a decent amount of blueberries) and I everything was served on a styrofoam plate which kind of threwme off due to the fact that I had to cut my waffle with a knife knowing it might cut through the plate. Also the breakfastpotatoes I ordered had some pretty big bell peppers on the plate as well. I live in the area and I?m all about supporting localbusinesses. But this place was pretty overpriced for some OK food and the presentation of it all was pretty much like the food.Men?s restroom had a weird mildew smell and the dishes that you see along the walk way to the restroom was quite a sight to seeas well. I know this restaurant has allot of support. I?ve heard good things and I?ve heard bad things. I just had to experienceit myself. Wouldn?t be a place I would recommend to anyone if they want to enjoy the food as well as the experience inside ofthe restaurant. I hope they could make some changes so it could be more of an enjoyable experience. Great workers and they arefamiliar with the menu but it?s not the people. It?s the food and the scenery. I spent 27 dollars on the food in this picture.Didn?t seem worth it."
