"Atmosphere:When you first walk in, you are greeted with a weird smell, however the ambiance and decor was very beautiful.Service:We were seated promptly and besides the sauce missing from one of the dishes, the service was ok.Food:The best thing there are the soups that come with your meals. There are 3 options: hot and sour, egg drop, and miso. My husband had the Mongolian beef lunch (not pictured) and it was suppose to be spicy according to the menu but instead there was a thick dark sauce that was overbearing and it had minimal beef slices. I had the lunch special sushi with 2 basic rolls. Both basic in taste. Rice was not sushi grade, there were hard parts of the sushi rice which leads me to believe it had been sitting out for a while. Weird considering we got there at 11 when they opened. I also ordered the tuna supreme or tuna tornado (I don’t remember the name) specialty roll and it was suppose to have tempura tuna with tuna on top and a few other things. The tempura tuna tasted like canned tuna. My sister ordered the crab Rangoon which was ok. More cream cheese than crab (but it was still tasted good). She also got the scorpion King roll which was suppose to have tempura inside it but obviously that tempura was made in advance because it was not even warm. My pet peeve with sushi is when the parts of the sushi are not made fresh to order. Old rice, old tempura, canned fish. Hamachi Kama was also ordered and it came without the ponzu sauce. Hamachi Kama is traditionally grilled or broiled but this was pan fried. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I won’t be going back. However there many customers who really liked it from what I saw."

"The young employee on 11/6/2022 wasn?t about being at work this day. It was the first time I had ever had this employee wait on me. She had a strange, quiet attitude and was throwing things around. She didn?t spread the steak all the way across the breadand under cheesed one of the sandwiches. She threw my sons sandwich in the lettuce. She disregarded the tomatoes that had turnedblack when I told her there were old tomatoes. She only removed the bad tomatoes because on my next sandwich I asked fortomatoes, so would she have removed them if I didn?t select them for my other sandwiches. There was no sweet tea and the syrupfor the fountain drink machine was out of pretty much all the best options to choose from to drink. She ran to the back of thestore, where I could not get her attention to get a refund on drinks so I got some carbonated water. I did not have a difficultorder. I even told her at the beginning after I greeted her not her greeting us, that I had three foot-long sandwiches to order.I have worked in the same work environment and even as a waitress I had bad days at work but interaction with customers I put ona fake face and smiled and was pleasant and it helped me make my bad days better, so I did leave her a small tip. When gettingour drinks I instantly regretted it since I knew she knew there was nothing to drink. We didn?t get ?meals? only 3 footlongsandwiches and 2 large drinks that were garbage, and I knew she knew it but still charged us for halfway made food and nothingto drink. During the weekdays the employees are much more pleasant."
