1st yelp post! This place has always been my favorite place in San Diego. My favorite food here is most definitely the Chirashi Salad and I used to always get it almost once a week back when I was in college. 3 years after graduating, I got to visit this place once again to finally fulfill my chirashi salad craving and I sure downed that whole 3/4 chirashi salad all by myself. the portion is huuuuuge, but since it's salad and sashimi, and awesome sushi rice, it was pretty easy to finish :) $13 for such a huge portion is totally worth it! I never really see chirashi salads in other places, and it's such a shame that I don't live in SD anymore, but if I ever come visit SD again, I will definitely come back to this place no matter what! read more

They got rid of the green noodles. Sad, it was the best part. But anyways, overall it's pretty overpriced. Better off going to an ayce sushi place since that's what you'll be paying if you want a full meal here. read more

It's another store that is student-friendly. Price is a little high, but still affordable for college students. Came here with my church friends after worship practice. I had chicken katsu curry rice for lunch. Not bad, but why is it spicy? You didn't mention it on menu! :( Anyways, I have been here many times already ,but never hit to 5 stars. GO NOZOMI! I know I will give you 5 stars in the future, just not right now. read more

Average food, TERRIBLE SERVICE. Why do I come here then? Just out of convenience since its a minute's walk. DO NOT I repeat, DO NOT go there if you are starving. Even if you are waiting to take a to-go order. I call in, they say okay it'll be ready in 20 minutes. I show up at the 20 minute mark. Okay....where is my food? My ONE roll, on an EMPTY, weeknight? More like an hour. I am sitting here discontented eating my food as I am writing this. My stomach is not happy. Okay enough writing, more eating. read more

I have had a turbulent relationship with Nozomi 2. My first visit, my cold noodles were bland and really boring. A few weeks later, I had a passable katsu bento box. Then I had a horrible bowl of watery and lukewarm curry (points for quantity though). Finally, I found my calling. The Chirashi Salad. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a bit uninspired. Then I dug up the rice underneath the greens and the sashimi, and became ecstatic. It was like Christmas '93 when I got my first Wolverine action figure... Nozomi is simply a place that you should visit if you want some satisfactory pseudo-Japanese food and don't want to stray too far from the UCSD campus area. read more

Service is pretty good, the waiters and waitresses seem to be college students who are likable and friendly. I know their Chirashi Salad is often recommended here, but I'd say if you're willing to pay a few dollars extra for some nice slices of sashimi go for the Japanese Chirashi ($22.99) instead. It comes with a variety of different (and more high quality) fish on top of sushi rice. They also have happy hour for rolls, where they offer 4-5 piece size rolls for cheap. I can't recall exactly when, but I think it's like before 6pm on certain days or something like that. They can get kind of busy on weekend evenings, so expect a (~15min) wait if you come during peak hours! read more

It was clear when I approached Nozomi that the experience wasn't going to be refined and wasn't going to be authentic. I accepted the situation and walked right in. The service was friendly and competent. The food took a long time to come out of the kitchen. No alcohol is served. And the green tea was pretty bad. But I liked the sashimi, the rice, and the miso. Also, you get a lot of food for what I'd term a modest price. I ordered a rather large sashimi combination plate. It came with green tea, a large bowl of sushi rice and a miso soup. The price, including tax but before tip, was $19.34. All in all, a 3-star encounter. read more

REVIEW DISCLAIMER -- DID NOT TRY THEIR SUSHI My girlfriend and I ate here last night. Actually, I had already eaten, so I just ordered an appetizer -- fish tempura. It was just ok. The fish was very bland and the tempura batter was mild. The portion was large. Five 2" pieces of fish and a tempura flower. The presentation was pretty -- on a bed of tiny little potato straws. But the little straws were cardboard flavored. The fish was much better, but not great. No real complaints here as this dish was less than $4. My friend ordered the Seafood Okonomiyaki which was pretty good -- but misnamed on the menu. It was basically a vegetarian dish. The pancake was topped with a lot of mild white cheese and veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage, and onions). My friend asked the waitress (politely) about the absence of seafood. A gal who seemed like the owner or manager came over and explained that the dish had oysters in it. (We did not see or taste any oysters). The owner/manager continued explaining that they had removed the seafood because seafood is expensive. The dish was around $10. (Tajima has the same dish, for about the same price, and it's totally full of seafood -- squid, shrimp, baby octopus, etc, etc. Not to mention delicious!). Anyways, we'll go back but only because we can grab a quick bite there before the salsa dancing at the La Jolla Marriott. But if you're not there already, skip this restaurant. One compliment though -- we saw the rolls that some of the other patrons had ordered and they were beautiful. Really, the presentation could have not been more artful. PS - No liquor license. read more

This is what i like to do when I can't find friends to come with me to eat the chirashi salad (which happens a lot more now that most of my friends have graduated and moved back home.. womp womp) - i get the bowl to go without rice, and split them into three equal portions and add salad greens to them. I then split the sauce into three smaller togo cups. This way, for approx $15, i now have 3 delicious and healthy meals. (i don't do 4 b/c it won't be fresh by then. Trust, I have done my experiments haha) Eating in is always nice too, the waiters/waitresses are always nice and polite and you never have to wait too long for the food to get to your table! All in all, a great place to eat at. Don't forget to get your parking validated!! read more

Had lunch here for the first time...Previously have only eaten at their Kearny Mesa location here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/nozomi-noodle-and-teriyaki-san-diego#hrid:dfb50Twt2Rj5ImUlUAqc1A This place gets 1.5 Stars So, the ONE Menu Item of theirs that I enjoy was "sold out" that day...bummer for me. (Oyako Donburi if you must know) Hm, also I LOVE Brown rice, and that's what brought their rating up to 2 Stars at the other location... I ordered Brown rice here that day to discover here they use the cheap "fake" brown rice...the one that's closer to a purple-ish/red color. I think it's a Korean thing with that rice because it's the same kinda "Brown rice" you get at Tofu House...the taste is completely different from Real Brown Rice. DOUBLE BUMMER! Didn't get my Tasty brown rice but was tricked into getting the fake brown rice... Oh yeah Miso soup served not hot enough! Anyway service is super slow... where were our waters for the first 10-12 mins...Reminder patrons need water. I don't recommend coming here if you're pressed for time. Manager was working as Server that day and she has long permed hair but doesn't tie it back. Sanitary procedures here? Thanks read more

Sweet staff, and regularly incredible food. My girlfriend and I come frequently and honestly I don't want sushi anywhere else. Always very fresh. We normally get a Chirashi Salad, and chicken curry ramen noodles and share. We get their Super crunch roll, Yellow Storm, and Blue dynamite too for rolls. It's has a beautiful outdoor area as well as a nice indoor area. We Love this Nozomi. read more

my friend and i come here far too often... we like it a lot! we're always craving the chirashi bowl. Our go-to meal is a a regular sized chirashi salad bowl and a 3/4 roll (scallop roll is so good). It fills us up and we always leave satisfied. When we are craving.. (more like me) we get the green tea tempura ice cream... which Nozomi makes THE BEST! i've tried a lot of green tea tempura ice cream from other restaurants and none can make it like Nozomi's. (especially Blue Fin) i love the patio area when its warm enough to sit outside. the staff is always upbeat and great to be around. i wont stop coming here :) read more

Poke bowl! So ooishi! I love tipping the college students working here! The owner is very amiable as well, greeting customers personally when he is present. The food is spectacular and for a great price! The fish is fresh, all of my Asian friends approve of this place. They even have some Korean dishes on the menu. I do have to warn you, however... They don't play traditional Japanese music! They play mostly pop music, which is fine by me! Just giving you the heads up;) Overall, if you want some tasty, fresh, bang for your buck sushi, this is your new happy place! read more

FOOD Surprising not that great. I've never seen a sushi place that uses imitation crab in the majority of their food. Most sushi is gluten free, but since they mix imitation crab and soy sauce into every sauce and/or roll it makes it a difficult place to order from. Even eating sushi in Japan was easier. I ordered a Philly roll (cream cheese, salmon, avocado) and a tuna roll to go. When I opened it up the Philly roll was cream cheese, salmon, and celery. The tuna roll was tuna and avocado. Who messes up an order like that? What really sucked was that there was barely any salmon and two pieces were just trimmed fat. The tuna was warm, yet those pieces were normal size. For $15 on a slow night there really is no excuse for messing up my order or skimping on the salmon. That will be my first and last order there. read more

Have been here a few times and ordered miso soup, sushi rolls, and spicy tuna salads. Food is excellent and portions are HUGE, explains why prices are slightly high. I like that it's very well hidden although the parking availability isn't the best. Takes a little longer than I'd like for food to arrive and to get the check to pay and get out but they are always busy and always nice. Sat outside on the patio all the times I've been here. Overall, quality of food is great. read more

Despite not exactly having the freshest fish ever, I like this place. As well as the other Nozomi on Convoy. The rolls here are pretty well made. I've really yet to have a roll here I don't like. The rolls are also quite large. One and a half would fill me up quite well. Which is also the part that sucks. I can't really order one and a half, so I'd just have to share with someone. The price for the rolls are right. They seem a little expensive now since they raised their prices 10-20% a few months ago, but it's still not quite expensive. The Chirashi is pretty solid. I say definitely try it. It's a great salad. One thing I don't like about them? Booze. That's right, I don't like their booze. Why? Because they don't have any. read more

If you're car-less or just plain lazy, a trip down to Convoy to get Japanese/Korean food is simply not an option. Enter Nozomi 2, which due to its extremely convenient location near UCSD has thrived over the years since its opening. The ambiance and food are nothing to scream about, but N2 is great for satiating those random cravings (the ones that always seem to hit when you're doing something important). The service is a bit haphazard depending on who you get, and the tables always seem to have some sort of sticky residue on them - perhaps the buildup of several years' worth of spillage? The specialty sushi selection is extensive and varied (props to N2 for providing pictures in the menu), but they are way overpriced. For those of us who have lean wallets, the curry deals are filling and relatively inexpensive. All in all, a serviceable Asian food joint. read more

Very good sushi/ Overpriced/ Really really good happy hour (4:30-6:30 weekdays), but you have to go early because I feel that they intentionally delay your happy hour orders... read more

WOOHOO!!! i discovered worse sushi place in all San Diego!!! Slow ,unorganized serves ,,No alcohol , No ice tea...restroom through the dirty kitchen...And really bad Sushi. BUT they have a Delicious iramisu Cake cake,,i'm really curious were they buying it from... read more

Food ok but service is poor. it took 40min to get my take out order. I waited in the restaurant and finally asked if food would be ready and the sushi chefs didn't even know they had to prepare my sushi after 30min of waiting! They charged me for a coke and never put it in my bag and I didn't find out until I got home. The server offered me a water and forgot to give me one. read more

Their sushi rolls are pretty expensive. They have nice waiters/waitresses and the owner is pretty familiar with me because I've gone there numerous times (I sometimes don't know why), BUT. they make you wait too long. Every time I go, I tell myself "Okay, it's probably slow only today because it's kinda busy" but nope. It's slow every freaking time! I really don't understand why. Even if it isn't busy, it's still slow. I had to wait 45 minutes one time for a freaking roll. Come on. Anyway, all in all, sushi's good, but pretty expensive and you have to wait a lot. read more

I just want to say this is a great Japanese restaurant. It is super close to work and home. Lunch had some amazing specials and it is great place to go with workmates. Even if you are going with someone who does not embrace the whole raw fish think there are so many things to order above and beyond the whole teriyaki Japanese choice but I'm telling you that is great as well. They have wonderful Korean barbecue choices and much more. But I am a sushi and sashimi girl. Love to order the special combos. The salad that everyone raves about is fantastic and super yummy. Last night I had the Hawaiian role and the orange roll. Both were carefully packed with an orchid carefully placed with each roll. They came with miso and also orange slices. The service is the best... they know your name by your phone number and the order was ready the minute I showed up! read more

Read all the reviews before you go here!!!!! The food is just average and the service is the worst I have ever had in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

If you're looking for a sushi experience that is likely worse for your heart than 5 big macs covered in cheese sauce and set on fire by a sword swallower, I can recommend some serious gut-busting choices here. I ordered them by semi-mistake, you see. I was looking for the refreshing sushi dinner of my dreams. I should have known that when the description includes something like "SMOTHERED IN FRIED ONIONS YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE SUSHI UNDERNEATH!" that the roll was probably not going to have that light, airy complexion that I dreamed of. The mac daddy onion roll (I assume that was the name - I can't recall due to the plaques of saturated fat that accumulated in my cerebral cortex that day) is about as far away from traditional sushi that you can get without ordering something called a "pizza roll" (note : I have no idea what's in that, but I assume it's pepperoni made out of tuna or something and covered in cheese and mayo or something). Was it good? Not really. Do I regret my decision to eat it? Definitely. We ordered tempura, which is always good. I will never understand why the sauce is so thin, cuz it's physically impossible for crispy tempura to soak up more than three drops of this delicious sauce per bite. But the tempura here is yummy, so I ain't complaining that I have to drink the sauce as a chaser. We also ordered a 3/4 size chirashi salad. This is our normal go-to meal here. It's frikin awesome. It's like... salad... but topped with all of this fish... and eggy goodness. There's even rice in there. One salad fills up two hungry car people. We couldn't eat it, though, since we ate the gut buster roll first. But it made a MADLY TASTY DINNER THE NEXT NIGHT RAAAAR! read more

Personal bias: I have a strong preference against dining at restaurants where the only seating is on lacquered wooden picnic benches, and an even stronger distaste for being served food and drink in plastic dishware. For these reasons, I immediately judged this sushi place to be average, at best. However, when we sat down I was actually quite impressed with the extensive selection of sushi rolls. The menu of sushi rolls seemed to be like a small book; there were even nice photos of most of the rolls. I ordered the Salomon Pizza roll that, like any roll with the word "pizza" in the name, was baked and served on a sheet of aluminum, which itself was on a metal plate. The most impressive aspect of this sushi roll was its visual presentation. When the roll was first served, the metal plate was flaming because they poured some oil on it and then lit it. The flames lasted about a minute and were neat while they lasted. The actual roll was above average in size, which was expected because it cost about $13. My only issue with the roll is that the cheese on top was making the pieces stick to each other and it took a bit of picking at to be able to get each piece apart from the other without breaking them. We also ordered the seaweed salad, which was lower in quality than most other sushi restaurants in town. Last note: the chopsticks here are some of the worst I've ever used - they are noticeably cheap and have an unusual amount of slivers of wood that you have to pick off. read more

Three stars, three reasons: +The portion are huge if you get the noodles/ ramen. + the sushi, CRUNCHY ROLL is very good, I mean thats like the ONLY thing i get there. + the ONLY decent sushi place in La JOLLA Minus two stars, two reasons: - service can take up to 30 MINUTES to serve you food. - Not enough seats indoors, which sucks during those cold COLD or rainy nights when you have to wait forever for a seat inside. read more

The service was quick here. The sushi was very good and they had happy hour pricing. It was a great place to go before a play over at UCSD. The "garlic edamame" is very spicy. There is plenty of garlic, but they also used a red peper paste and they were inedible. Only disappointment I had here. read more

Service is a little rough during the lunch rush. We preorder to make sure our good is ready to go when we get there. Decent price for sushi but highly recommend the chirashi salad. You get a free miso soup. Hand rolls are about $1.50 to $2 so decent, and i also recommend the Las Vegas roll! MMM Good size for 3 people to share. Check on the chalk board for what their specials are. I'm at least here once a month, if not more. You can find me munching on the CHirashi more in the summer, its perfect on those hot san diego daze! read more

I came here on a Saturday night. It was a little slow to get seated even when there were empty tables because there were only 2 servers serving 12+ tables of customers. You will be amazed on how fast they work! Even though it gets busy at times, the servers always carry a smile on his/her face and work in really fast pace. They are really nice people! Parking is never a problem! There are plenty of parking spots outside as well as inside the parking garage downstairs! I usually come here when I am craving for salad :) It is a must order (if you eat raw fish that is)! $15 for the original size and $12 for the 3/4 version. Salad comes with lots of lettuce, rice, and a variety of sashimi cubes. It also comes with a bottle of red sauce. Mix it in the salad!!! It tastes really good :) In case anyone is wondering, the red sauce is sweet but has a hint of spiciness to it. Except the salad, everything else was just so-so. Nothing too extraordinary. PS!!! Download their printable couple on their website! http://www.gonozomi.com/1281996.html That gives you 10% off any dinner bills! read more

This is one my favorite joints in San Diego. The food isn't entirely Japanese as there is a hint of Koreanness to it which I love. My favorite things about this place are the cold green noodles, Hawaiian roll, and the chirashi salad. Reasonable prices and huge portions! The ambiance is chill and the service is great. You feel great when you've eaten the yummy food, feel completely full, and get a really nice sized check. read more

The chirashi salad fish did not taste as fresh this time, but I still give four stars for the amazing waitress. I am seriously in love with her. She's so polite, responsive, and in a weird way gives off a really maternal vibe. The staff here are awesome amd friendly. read more

Nozomi - Sushi sex. Now say that 10 times. - Sushi Bars Near Me - La Jolla, California

1. Hawaiian Roll tempura shrimp, tobiko, cucumber, avocado, sweet sauce, and raw tuna with spicy mayo and a bit of diced green onions on top and tempura flakes surrounding the roll 2. Chirashi (Salad) cut up pieces of tuna, salmon, another kind of fish (yellowtail?), cooked shrimp, octopus (or is it squid?), tobiko, kaiware sprouts, and thinly sliced cucumber on top of a mound of a lettuce, mint, cilantro mixture and rice, mix-it-yourself with unique and tasty hot sauce = EXTREMELY DELICIOUS. (an order of each of the above is a little more than enough for 2 hungries to share... see images posted.) The listed dishes above: that's what this place is good for, especially during their busy hours (to guarantee the utmost freshness of their food). Go there for anything else, and you may be disappointed. --- In detail: All other rolls (especially the ones without sauce) I've tried are pretty mediocre and bland. I would rather not get their cooked "Japanese" dishes or sashimi platters (less than mediocre, according to those who've ordered them). Do not order their "green tea" (we got it once, and it was not good). The bottom line is: the taste is all in the sauce (on their rolls), not necessarily in the fish on its own. And the roll that is always THE winner, is the Hawaiian Roll, of course. I can live on this roll! Service: after having come to this place over 20 times as a UCSD student... and maybe over 30 times total... the service is inconsistent and lacking. Sometimes, the servers are great and helpful. Other times (especially when it's crowded), the servers forget about you for a while, you'll have to somehow get their attention, and your food might take at least 30 minutes to arrive. But I noticed that they aren't too good at seating new customers, no matter what time of day... Price: Affordable. About $12 a person for the dishes I recommended. Also, there's a 10% off dinner coupon on their website, http://www.gonozomi.com/ :D Quality of food: About 80% of the time I've gone there, the food is fresh and prepared properly. They don't use the freshest of fish (e.g. Sushi Ota does-- it'd be blasphemous to put sauce on their fish, since they taste amazing just on their own), but if you get my recommended dishes, the fish is usually fine (see next paragraph). But, my friend once had a bad experience with their salmon for a baked salmon roll (it was too greasy and smelly, probably not fresh). My real gripe is: there have been those few times when the tempura shrimp in the Hawaiian rolls were NOT fresh. And that was quite disappointing. Or the rice and contents of the roll were cold (meaning, they refrigerated the roll.) So, try not to go on a Monday or Tuesday night, right before closing... but instead, deal with the crowd and get there (or take-out) when it's bustling. Friday and Saturday dinners would be good. Also, this place is not open on Sundays... oh, how sad were the times I craved it on Sundays... I am addicted and am in withdrawal... I can't live without their Hawaiian rolls and chirashi salad!! They are THAT good. I always plan a trip here when I am visiting SD. EDIT: 20080301 I upped the rating to 5 stars because today I had *THE BEST EVER* experience there. The Hawaiian Roll was incredibly fresh and just soooooo good, I thought I had died and gone to Hawaiian Roll Heaven. And then the chirashi was just as good. :) Ah, you dishes own my soul. EDIT: 20080602 Our group ordered 4 Hawaiian Rolls, which surprised (and maybe disturbed XD) them... so they made us a special non-menu roll... similar to the Hawaiian Roll... but it had lightly fried, thin onions on top... Albacore, tuna, spicy mayo, avacado, crab?, and crunchies (the tempura flakes). Even though I loathe onions, minus them, the roll was GREAT! :) That was sweet of them. read more

Horrible service. LONG ass waiting times. This is not the place to go for a quick meal or even quick to-go. The food is decent, but they keep hiking up the prices and they aren't courteous to the customers. So it's NOT worth it. I dined there a couple times and even did takeout. Takeout took incredibly long. Over 50 mins. I called in, they said 20 mins. I came after 20 mins and 30 min later, I still didnt have my order. So I left. They weren't even busy, while the two korean waiters were giggling behind the counter talking about sneaking some plum wine... I should know, I'm korean and they were speaking in korean.... Haven't been back since, and I tell everyone I know not to go there. Go somewhere else. read more

One of my family's favorite sushi places around. The soups are all good and we've tried most. Everything I've had here has been great and the staff seems sincerely nice and helpful. I think it is family run and all the workers seem to enjoy being there. I wish they served sake and/or beer, but so far no drinks with your meal. Great place, a bit hard to find as it is tucked away behind the parking lot and the front of the plaza. It's in between a chiropractor's office and some other medical facility. Worth finding and discovering. read more

This place... well.. sucks! took us forever to get seated, food was overpriced and not even great, horrible horrible horrible service... oh btw did i mention horrible service? yeah we had to wait forever to not only get seated, but... ALSO to get the menu, to get our orders taken, to get the food served, and to even get the bill! I was tempted to just walk away and pay for nothing since honestly that's what they deserved, went there once and thank god only once. read more

Sorry, but to me this place stinks. First time trying this place, and the service was horrible. Once we were seated it took about 20 minutes to get our drink order, and then another 30 minutes before someone stopped by to ask us if we were ready to order. I said yes. He started to walk away. I asked if he was going to take our order and he said in a minute because they were very busy. Well he never returned. A second waiter walked by at which time I asked him if we could place our order, he to then said sure and walked away. 10 minutes later he returned at which time I told him we were leaving because they had horrible service. He then said, he was sorry but they were very busy. He then said I owed him for the drinks, which was a water and a soda. My wife and I also saw and over heard several people complaining about the service. Not many happy people here. And to be honest it wasn't not as busy as they said they were. Won't return here. read more

Eh on most things on the Nozomi menu, but just go for the chirashi salad and you'll be juuuuuust fineeeee. I didn't have a problem at all with service. They did seem a bit understaffed but the people who took care of us were nice and accommodating (ask for free kimchi!) read more

Delicious sushi! The rolls are ginormous!! You definitely get what you pay for when you order the sushi rolls and eat at the bar: big delicious rolls, and funny sushi chefs (what more can you ask for?)! The chefs are hilarious when you get them talking. They are very lighthearted and make the dining experience great! When you order "all you can eat" be aware that the rolls are not tiny 6 pieces of sushi. You get a WHOLE roll when you order a roll (just like the rest of the rolls on the menu). I made the mistake of thinking the rolls are the small rolls the first time I ate "all you can eat." Fortunately, the owners of this restaurant were really understanding and let me take the rest home (against their policy). read more

I almost feel bad giving only 1 star, because my boyfriend loves this place. BUT we are never going back, because the service is horrendous! I think we were waiting at minute 20 after finishing our food, tea cups empty, and nobody had cast an eye on us in all of that time. After we finally got the tab, I was trying to expedite things so I walked up to the counter to run my credit card through, and waited another 15 minutes for the cashier to finish digging through piles of take-out orders (and disappearing into the back) just to pay. And that's when I told my boyfriend that we were never going to go there again. Before that, I had never thought anything special about their food, all very 'blah,' in my opinion. We used to go there in big groups for birthdays, but we'd be waiting almost a half hour for that laaaaast entree to get out. It's affordable, and the food is oookay for the location, but I will never go there again. read more

Good place to park for your lunch break. Though I don't mean that literally, as the Nozomi-reserved spots are on a ridiculous raised part of the lot and are a challenge to get in and out of without jumping a curb. The patio is nice and almost entirely shaded, if not completely covered. Nozomi's lunch crowd seemed on the light side of busy. The menu has a fairly serious variety of hot dishes, though I was there for the sushi. On that front, Nozomi offers a ton of specialty rolls, and I think one of the biggest number of tempura and crunchy rolls I've seen locally. If that's your favorite genre of sushi, they will cater to you. Prices are average for the UTC area, no complaints on the fish. The service was pretty slow; from outside I couldn't tell how bad the chefs were stacked up, but it seemed an excessively long wait when I wasn't even very hungry. read more
