Went from Being best in town to worst. Heard new owners took over the seafood use to make sushi is not fresh anymore and servings are a lot smaller.
We sat down and ordered our food at 6:30. There were no more than 3 other tables of people. We had a party of 8. 15 minutes after we ordered they brought out 1 of the orders. 20 minutes later 2 more of the 8 orders came out. 20 minutes later 2 more of the eight made it to the table. Another 20 minutes passed and they brought out 2 more orders. If you’re adding that’s 7/8 orders after 1 hour and 15 minutes. The 8th order never made it. Meanwhile, we watch 3-4 groups come in, get served, and leave. This was a completely ridiculous low level of service. To top it off the owner refused to come talk to us about it and made no apologies, despite the fact that he was the sushi chef that messed up the orders. He left the service people to do the apologizing. I won’t set foot in this restaurant again. You can bet your last dollar on that. If you want a good dining experience go somewhere else.
Love that we have so many quality sushi options here in Athens! This is a nice place downtown. We love the layout of it and how good the food is! Try the Athens roll!
Absolutely amazing. Service was great and wait time was not excessive. Food was 8/10 and I'd also like to mention how great our waitress was. If we werent just visiting we definitely would have returned to this restaurant many times.
Okay, so let me first state that I recently moved to Athens from greenville Sc. My boyfriend and I were looking for a sushi place that was authentic with great food. This did not fit the bill. I normally can eat anything and everything, albeit some textures I can’t eat. The fried rice my daughter had, was flavorless and had frozen veggies. The chicken Katsu curry my boyfriend got was flavorless, it literally tasted like unseasoned fried chicken with a curry that tasted like a diluted version of the real deal. I had two rolls, the fish was a fattier fish (they try to cut down on the price with a different cut of the fish) and I didn’t care for the texture of my other roll. I was extremely disappointed because I seen the reviews and madeMy decision to try to it out based off what everyone was saying. I will say, the service was great. Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. But If you like authentic sushi and/or Japanese food this is not the place for you. I’m gonna have to do some research to find a good place. Sincerely, not a Karen.
Great Waiter, didn't catch his name - but very helpful guy with our order and suggestions for a Dane. And he didn't judge us when when we ate all the sushi very very fast, it was amazing.Great appetizers and beer as well
Great sushi! Not busy and well staffed. Friendly service.
Delicious, as usual.. perfect Valentine's sushi dinner! Thanks Lia for great service!
Welp.......I've be frequenting this establishment for a couple years. When I first got to Athens their lunch combination was a shining star in my life. For $10 you could pick 2 sushi rolls + a salad + a soup. What a deal! The price went up to $12 and I decided it was still fair, and held off on writing a sad review. Well, today I went and the price is now $14 and you can pick a soup OR a salad to go with your two rolls.I know I know..."COVID, supply and demand, economics, inflation"....whatever. The jump is just too drastic for me to be justified by any of that. Its not a bad deal now...but it's nothing special. The service was always mediocre at best. Today they had one waitress dealing with 12+ tables (which I know is a COVID related issue - but still frustrating).
The service is atrocious. Waited half an hour for green tea that never came. Went with a date. Food did not even come together. My dish came 15 min after hers, making it nearly a 40 min wait. Mind you the restaurant was not crowded.The sushi I liked. But it wasn't anything special. Dont know if I would wait nearly an hour for it next time, to have just average sushi.
