text: this is easily the most overrated 5 stars on yelp and leaves me quite puzzled. the sushi was mediocre at best so i don't know what the fuss is over the master chef. service? for a four diamond restaurant, it was definitely subpar. we were there on a very slow night with about 80% of the restaurant empty and 2 people sitting at the sushi bar, yet took 30 minutes to get our appetizers. we ordered a couple of rolls which also took awhile, but was not memorable at all. the hot entrees (lamb and kobe short ribs) were very good, but the damage had been done and our experience had been ruined by the time they came out. i don't mind paying up for a good dining experience so i was lured in by the high ratings of this restaurant, but i did not get what i paid for. truth be told, this a 3 star restaurant, but considering the prices and the overly enthusiastic 5 star ratings, i feel a 1 star was appropriate to balance out the reviews.
