Great ramen and ambiance 🍜 ♥️
Best view and service in town. Food is outstanding
Well things started off nicely. ordered a roll and some fresh sashimi. My wife ordered a steak, a cooked steak which was delicious. Here comes the issue. 45 minutes later and still no raw uncooked sushi. 55 minutes no manager or waiter has come by to discuss this. The roll and sushi (delivered to the table next to me that sat there for 10 minutes ) is finally delivered. I asked "will this be free?" he actually laughed amd said no. I told him to take the food and bring the bill....read full review
