The sushi and service leave much to desired. I have been a frequent customer since the opening over 10 years ago. This past weekend was my first visit since the pandemic. The staff are all new people, including the chefs. I ordered the 911 Roll as I have done on all prior visits. I love and have a high tolerance for spice. This roll has simply hot and devoid of any flavor. I couldn't taste the tuna nor the rice! It was absolutely horrible. After two bites, I did not touch it. The server never did a check back to see if the food was to our liking or if we needed anything. In fact, whenever I needed something, I had to wave my arms in the air, try to make eye contact with any of the staff members present, while shouting, "excuse me!"

The ponzu sauce did not taste like ponzu and the pickled ginger had an odd sweet taste. The sushi pieces were cut so small you could barely taste the fish, only rice and sauce. None of the chefs look like they were formally trained in the art of sushi making and the food tastes accordingly.

There has been a change in staff that has affected the entire experience. I do not recommend this location and I will not return.
