The main waitress is extremely rude. The first time we let it slide. The second time our food was disgusting and her service was even worse. We love supporting local businesses but we’ll never support this one again.

Honestly the food was amazing. ?With that being said, service was the worst I've ever experienced. Our waitress basically argued with us over having one more person than what we reserved. (8 instead of 7) Also in regards to paying for the meal, she got mad that we were splitting our bill. I noticed that the bill was not based on what we ordered but rounded up to $35. For example if you ordered 1 roll of sushi ($15) then they would add a tip of $20... that's more then the actual meal.

Waiter was pretty rude to our group while dining in. Never got water refreshments refilled till much after the food was eaten.Food came out relatively fast which was nice at least but the quality of the food seemed very poor. When it came to payments our waiter seemed impatient and also yelled at our group to leave shortly after.

Long story short: Good food, BAD service!Came in Monday night for a birthday dinner for a friend. Reserved for a party of 7. The food came out fast but afterwards we were basically forgotten by the waitress.The waitress was extremely rude, made us feel so unwelcomed and she kept muttering how she's already so busy as is.If we didn't flag the owner for water, we wouldn't have had any.I don't really review restaurants but this was such a horrible experience I felt bad reserving this place for my friend's birthday.

Owner is aware of her employees adding tips on top of peoples bills. I wonder how many people have been paying without noticing they’re charged for a tip that should be mandatory. Taking the matter to the State/Department of labor. Worst experience ever.

Worst place ever. Waitress spilled water over our table and left without returning to clean it up. Asked her for her opinion and she responded like it was the customers fault she has to work. Wasted money for sure.

Chicken yakisoba was really good. Chicken could have been cleaner but the portion was great and the noodles delicious. Sushi was well presented and large rolls! 4/5!

Friendly staff, quick service. Tasty meal at reasonable prices.

Ordered through Uber Eats - order was delivered quickly. Food was great - fantastic portion size - more than enough food! I ordered the salmon Bento box my 1st time - salmon was a little overcooked but still tasty. Vegetable tempura was very tasty and sushi was so fresh. Came back through town and didn't hestitate to order from Dami again. Ordered through Uber Eats again and Chicken Teriyaki Bento box was prepared/delivered quickly and was just as tasty as other Bento box. Great place!!!

Fast service and good food. Beautiful interior so couldn’t stop snapping pics. We got dessert on the house too. Thanks ?
