BEWARE: THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC 18% GRATUITY FOR POOR SERVICE. SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE AND EXTREMELY SLLLLLOOOOWWWW. I recently had a birthday dinner there for 15 people and had made reservations at 8pm. We were assured to be seated immediately when half of our party was there, but my entire party arrived on time and we were still not seated. We got seated at 8:50pm. I asked the hostess serveral times when we'll be seated given that there were tables open and a good number of servers running around.The hostess appeared oblivious and uncaring of our situation. She repeatedly said there was nothing she could do. After we had been seated and ordered our food another party of 10 ten that was seated 20 minutes AFTER we had been seated, received all their food at the same time before our table did. When our food finally started trickling in an hour later, one dish came at a time 10-15 minutes apart. So it was territble because we didn't eat together as a group. The first person was long done with their food when others had not even received their order. Our server was difficult to flag done and we constantly had to beg for water and refills. BOTTOMLINE: UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS FOR OVERPRICED SUBPAR SUSHI, SO CALLED HAWAIIAN FOOD, AND INSUFFICIENT SERVICE, THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!!
Pros: Nice ambiance.
Cons: Slow service, not point in making reservations because you will not get seated at that time, overpriced subpar sushi, servers provide poor service for groups because there is an automatic 18% gratuity
