Awful for Lunch

by sushiallday at Citysearch

I eat here regularly for dinner and have never had a complaint on the service or food. The sushi is fresh, and creative. So I decided to try it for lunch...what a waste. The portions are embarrassing. My plate include four pieces of california roll and three half-sized pieces of sushi. Really? The best you could do for a "special" was half a cali roll and half-sized sushi? When I asked the chef about this, he was indifference and asked me if I wanted to buy something else. Skip this place for lunch, unless you're on a diet.

• Pros: fresh
• Cons: miniscule portions

Not great.

I stopped in for lunch the other day after a movie at Crossroads. The restaurant appeared clean and the service was good. My beverages were quickly refilled as I emptied them. The food, however, left much to be desired. The rolls I sampled were nothing spectacular, and way too expensive. I don't mind paying 9-11 bucks for a roll if it's a good roll, but these were inadequate considering the price. The soft-shell crab in my spider roll was overcooked. The volcano roll was served cold (which isn't wrong, per se, but most places I've eaten serve it warm, so I was taken aback by the cold "lava". I ordered my favorite nigiri, hamachi, and I had to sp1t it out because the texture and flavor just weren't right. It's supposed to be a soft fish with a delicate citrusy flavor, but this was tough and fishy. Yuck. I won't be back.

• Pros: convenient to shopping, good service
• Cons: price, flavor

What a find!

I went here to grab a qick bite expecting nothing spectacular. To my surprise the sushi was incredible! Really fresh and clean taste. I loved it! The atomosphere and decor is horrible and I read the other reviews about the lousy service, but I sat at the Sushi bar and they were not busy and I had no trouble with service! I'm so pleased to have found this place!

• Pros: SUSHI!
• Cons: the atmoshere and decor

Best Sushi

by cgb4ever at Citysearch

I've been going to Kashin's since '95 and this is by far the best Sushi you will find in the area. I have had problems with service in the past but not recently. The staff is now very friendly and attentive. The food other than the Sushi is also excellent, and please note that this is Japanese food not Chinese. Compared to Waraji, sure the Nigiri pieces are slightly bigger but the Sushi here is consistently better quality and unlike Waraja, I look forward to coming here to order the appetizers.

• Pros: best sushi quality, great friendly service, best value, best Japanese food

Worst service

by TravisMorton at Citysearch

If you have a party of more than 4 people, they'll charge you 20% gratuity, which is quite acceptable. BUT WATCH OUT! since you already have to pay the 20% gratuity, they won't do anything to "earn" the tips. I.e., the waitress will come over asking your drink, then order food, then deliver food, then give you a check. That's it.....Nothing else....Not even refilling your sweet tea! The food is terrible, too. I eat Japanese food all the time...This restaurant is no where near authentic, nor does it tastes anything near "just OK"! If you got too much money and too much time to spent, and want to practice some anger management, this is the right place to go though.
