Even the restroom reflected an impressive attention to detail- immaculately maintained and elevated with amenities such as lotion, Q-tips, and climate control. This spot is good for a fancy date night! My husband opted for the lunch special, which included soup, salad, curry, and a side of sushi. He absolutely raved about the curry. I chose the fish wontons alongside the Raleigh roll, which was exceptional; the addition of mango on top was perfect with the lobster tempura for me. I am also always appreciative when a sushi place can accommodate my addiction to add cream cheese to any roll- they made it work! Service was prompt and attentive. The green tea leaned slightly earthy for my taste, but it did little to detract from an otherwise outstanding meal. I would gladly return and recommend this spot to groups seeking high-quality sushi in a polished setting.

We actually drove back to tell them, with both meals basically untouched, and they didn't care one bit! I told him the General's chicken was so dry and hard to cut. I couldn't even cut some of the pieces because it was so tough and I could only try to pull it. He's explanation was... "It's chicken breast. That's why there is sauce on it." What??? He (they) wouldn't do anything about it. Didn't apologize just kept saying that he sells them all the time and he has no complaints! (which I find hard to believe) I don't know if anyone else has had any issues like this, but that's definitely not the way to handle your business! I just couldn't believe their attitude. We will never go back.
