Came here for Dinner on a Friday.  

Service: Service was good, no complaints getting food, water, beer, and sake on time.  The server was nice and quick to bring food and check.  

Food: We ordered some Edamame and a couple rolls.  The Edamame was not very good, which is surprising considering its hard to mess up Edamame.  My guess is it was over-boiled.  Ordered a couple rolls and they were OK, not great.

I think 3 stars is fair based on the quality of food vs the price we paid (no Groupon).  BTW: having printed Groupon disclaimers posted all over the walls is pretty tacky.  

I wont be coming back for the simple reason that it just wasnt worth the money.

I am writing this review based solely on their terrible service. I would review the food but I never got the opportunity to try it... not even taste the water.

We made reservations for 7 this past Mother's Day. We saw all the great reviews and had to try it out since my mom loves sushi. We arrived and were seated in the back corner. The ambiance was nice and relaxing. By the time we were seated we never saw our waitress again.

Some 10 minutes later (10 minutes after being seated and not seeing your server feels like a lifetime) we start to get restless. We are hungry, thirsty and want to get the dinner started since it was Mother's Day after all. We saw 2 waitresses serve the tables in the front of the restaurant several times and not once did they look in our direction. Finally, some 15 minutes later, one of them noticed us and approached us asking, "Hi.... I'm sorry, has no one even gotten you waters yet?" While the rest of the party answered politely, she followed up with, "...Um, I'm sorry but our take out orders are really busy so we're trying to get those taken care of."

Did she just say that?

The fact that she noticed us and apologized would have been sufficient enough. Instead she blamed it on other people's orders who weren't even in the restaurant! That was like adding salt to the wound. You mean to tell me, the people who made reservations and waited patiently on Mother's Day don't get the customer service they deserve? Well, my apologies for taking an interest to the restaurant.

After waiting (again) for the waters the waitress claimed she was going to get, I had had enough. I ushered the rest of my family up and out of that restaurant. Walked down the street and were greeted by a nice gentleman at an Italian restaurant (Bernini's Bistro) where we enjoyed a fabulous Mother's Day dinner, great customer service and all.

Best kept secret is the Protein roll.  No rice or filler crap like cucumbers.  Just fish, fish, fish and then some fish to round things out.  All for $13.  Awesome.
Super fresh fish and they are generous with the portions.  

It has a quiet atmosphere and it's rarely crowded so it's great for chilling out with your  squeeze.  Every time I'm in SD I make sure to stop by - great place!

Good sushi, stupid groupon rule, I'll never make another trip here but if I'm ever back in DT LJ guess I'll have to stop by again to get rid of my unused groupon during non happy hour times, in which case it's just overpriced average sushi.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What am I getting?

    Simply put: one heckuva Deal. We harness the magnificent purchasing might of the Yelp community to swing you massive markdowns at highly rated local businesses. Buying here and paying upfront allows us to negotiate the best price possible — which in turn saves you money.

  • How do I redeem my Deal?

    Once you've purchased a Deal, you'll be emailed a voucher. Print it out and present it to the business, or be eco-savvy and bring it up on your handy mobile device. Different Deals have specific requirements (RSVPs, appointments necessary, etc.), so be sure to read the special terms.

  • How long can I use my Deal?

    Unless a Deal's specific terms say something different, you'll have a year to redeem the Deal for the offer indicated (e.g. a $50 value for $25); but you can subsequently redeem it for the amount you paid (e.g. the $25). For more information, read the Yelp Deals General Terms.

  • How do I keep tabs on my Deal?

    How fun is buying something if it doesn't exist? Answer: naught. As such, we've created a page for your Deals. Keep track of Deals you purchased, access your redemption vouchers, and even see how much you've saved.

  • What's the Deal with tipping?

    Gratuity is typically not included in Deals. Businesses are working hard to bring you these discounted goods and services, so please tip them with the un-discounted value of your bill in mind.

  • What if I have a problem with the Deal?

    Our goal is to make sure that every Yelper is satisfied with their Deal(s). Having problems? Email .
