sadly we didn't have a good experience here..
there were only a few tables of guests that night but servers were not attentive.. slow & not nice..


below was our first round of sushi & sashimi.. everything looked good (pay attention to the spicy salmon sushi on the top right)..



here's the sushi & sashimi we re-ordered.. look at the spicy salmon sushi below.. they didn't even bother to mix the sauce with the sashimi!! & the amebi sashimi were frozen-like & flavorless..
