text: Back in the days of 2006-2007, I used to be a regular at Pumi for the creative sushi chefs and friendly service. Then, as has been well-documented in reviews before mine, the place changed owners/managers/etc and everything went downhill. The fish was not as fresh and prices were higher. After a couple subpar experiences, we cut Pumi from our lives. \n\nWell a few years have passed since we were in this place, so we decided last night to give it another chance. Since I'm with child, I can't eat sushi for a few months (booo). Instead, we sat in back for hibachi where they couldn't even turn the lights on for us! Seriously, we sat and ate in near darkness back there. The hibachi chef was friendly enough, and his rice/veggies/chicken were decent. Shrimp was rubbery, though, and my husband's NY was so thin, they definitely cut them in half. Hey, I have no problem with a place like that as long as it is reflected in the price, but if anything, Pumi has adjusted their prices up. Another negative - that creamy sauce that all hibachi/teppanyaki restaurants give you was really gross at Pumi. I usually eat the whole thing, but theirs tasted like watery mayonnaise.\n\nService was fine.\n\nOverall, Pumi, it's gonna be at least another 2 years before I try you again.
