WOW! don't go here unless you're "hot" (hahaha) and straight and REALLY desperate. Some guy broke my nose with a beer bottle tonight and nobody cared as I carted myself to the hospital... maybe I'm just biased....?

I didn't like the view of our waitress pulling handfuls of Ramen out of a sink with yellow rubber dish gloves and plopping it onto a scale, but since I ordered sushi I overlooked that and enjoyed some appetizer sashimi while we waited for our lunch.
