I was desperate to eat some sushi...and I knew that I wasn't gonna get the authentic stuff here, but I had to get my fix since I was in the neighborhood. Even if it means I get some "baka" sushi.…

Extremely disappointing. The quality of the "sushi" is just sad. The regular dishes are boring. Would not recommend this place.
