DISGUSTING AND RUDE. My boyfriend and I had been here before, but the sushi bar was full, so we ate at the dining area. It was super expensive and not that impressive, but we had read the reviews about the sushi bar and wanted to give it another try. I wanted to treat him to dinner last night, so we get the sushi bar. We have a few specials, then he orders the uni sushi, the chef tells him no..no uni..even though it's right there infront of us. So, instead, we ordered the shrimp, and I continued to conversate. I see my boyfriend's face turn white as he notices that the chef dropped the shrimp on the floor and picked it up and put it on our plate. WOW! As expensive as it is there, you would expect better service!!! NEVER AGAIN

THE BEST Sushi in all of OC, and LA. I have been to many Sushi resturaunts in OC. This is the only US location, and represents Japanese cuisine phenominally well. Bento boxes are large enough, and their sushi is Tier 1. They have an old-style resturaunt interior, so you feel almost as if you were in Japan. I would recommend to anyone.

Best Sushi at Sushi Bar. The Sushi chefs here are truly artists of the eye and the taste. Myself and 3 friends put ourselves in their hands and we were well rewarded. The toro was to die for. The combinations were amazing.

Okay food and Okay service. Service is okay...it seems to take forever to get just another water and soy beans. The chef's do not like to accomdate to you. They will, but they are not very happy to do it. It is expensive and I don't like too much there. I do like their seared snapper with peppers on top and their three kings roll.

A HORRID RUDE PLACE TO GO- NOT SAFE- VERY ANTI AMERICAN- BAD FOOD.. A Horrible Experience. These people there and especially managment are apparently ANTI-American, RUDE, ARGUMENTATIVE AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT THEY MAY SPIKE YOUR FOOD WITH. If you go - do not turn your back on them. No more "Pearl Harbor" style sneak attacks again for me thank you. Twice was enough, as there are so many other fine Japanese restuarnatns and their employees that really enjoy serving people politely, with no attitude - and with much better and fresh food.

THEIR "FRIENDS/EMPLOYEES" CAN WRITE THEIR BOGUS REVIEWS, BUT THIS IS A VERY BAD PLACE. WHY RISK YOUR HEALTH AND DINING EXPERINCE TO THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE. AND IT IS TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE.
