Good food, chefs are great and very entertaining, but the servers, hostesses, etc. are consistently inept, slow and unfriendly. Just like when it first opened, no one seems to be in charge. Chaotic and disorganized, at best. We went for our fourth (and final) time last night since they opened, hoping the service would have improved since the last time we went. It hadn't. It was not very crowded at 7:15, and they obviously didn't want to open up another table, and tried to seat my family of four along with five teenage girls at a table made for eight, and put me right behind the stacks of sauce dishes with no room to move around or eat, for that matter. I asked for them to move us to another table, which they did (reluctantly), then left us sitting for almost 10 minutes with no service at all. Definitely felt like we were being punished for asking to move, as crazy as that may sound. We got up and left and went to Shi Chi in Dublin and had great food and fast, friendly service, as usual. I told the hostess why we were leaving, and she didn't seem to care at all.

I love sushi and the chef here is top tier. Believe me the low key appearance of the storefront does not prepare you for the skill of the sushi chef. The grill part is very good but if you love sushi you need to treat yourself here.
