    Went here for the third time with a friend on a groupon. This place always has groupons and I love it. Best price to quality ratio for a sushi restaurant.
    They were just as good as the last time I was there and it's always nice to see consistency from a restaurant.

    I purchased a Groupon for this joint and decided to bring a sexy date to make an evening out of it! We arrived around 815 (with reservations) but didn't seem to be needed with all the empty tables... It was a quaint spot, dim lighting, simple décor with a small open-faced sushi bar. Couple of little coves where private dinners could be held, small parties as well..

    Server was named Danny, she was such a sweetheart to us, suggested the Lychee (LEE-chee) martini. AMAZING So light, crisp to a perfect martini balance garnished with three little Lychee fruits on sword.. yeah, we had about three each!

    Continuing on to appetizers, We ordered Shrimp Tempura which was great but not a lot of it, more fried veggies paired with the shrimp than the seafood itself.. The edamame was lightly seasoned with salt and heated.

    Entrees, My date and I decided to throw it in Danny's hands and have her bring out 4-variety Maki Rolls.. AMAZING CHOICES!! She gave us a great variety to taste from.. All Around GREAT experience, drop Danny's name, she'll take great care of you!!!

    I love the atmosphere; plenty of vegan options, and they will make maki rolls not on their menu if you just request. They have a good drink menu too. I just don't like that it's always kind of cold inside, and the music sucks...oh, and the service is a little bit slow.

    I've been a few times as we live a few blocks away... good quality sushi and clean restaurant.  Could offer more inventive rolls altho there are a few that are our favorites.  Also recently started charging $5/ corkage fee.. while obviously that isn't a big deal at all, we enjoyed it more when it was free, and were more likely to book girl's nights dinner etc.

    My wife and I have been here a few times since we move to the South Loop in 2005.  The service is always very good.  We had a very friendly bartender the last time that we went there.  Their sushi is better than average, and the atmosphere is surprisingly nice.  I think you can usually find a deal online to save you some money, but you'll probably end up spending on it more rolls or drinks. :)

    My husband and I went to Triad Sushi Lounge because we had a Groupon and decided to try the place. We love sushi and it's a light food option we enjoy eating at various places. We went on a bitterly cold Sunday evening (01/20/13) and the staff was very friendly and efficient. We ordered the Ika Fry, Rock N' Roll Maki, Asparagus Beef Rolls, and the Kirin Maki. Some were better than others, but overall I must say that this place was a bit of a culinary disappointment.

    Not that I am the most discerning connoisseur of sushi, but I did expect more. My Ika Fry (Calamari) was a bit on the rubbery side with little taste, his asparagus beef rolls were smothered (or should I say drowned) in teriyaki sauce, and the others were okay. I gave it three stars based upon overall great service, appetizing presentation, and cleanliness in the establishment, but I'm not inspired to go back.

    Came here on a groupon. Food was very good to me and the second I saw another groupon I purchased it without a moments hesitation. I really enjoyed the asian salad, and the pot stickers. Parking in this area isn't the best but I look forward to going back. They have a full bar but its also BYOB. You just can't bring your hard liquor or sake. i believe you can only bring wine.

    Positives:
    Close to home in the south loop
    No reservations necessary
    Full bar
    Complimentary green tea
    I purchased a Groupon during dinner that I was able to use immediately.

    Negatives:
    It was freezing outside the day I went. It wasn't supposed to be freezing indoors as well. The restaurant was so drafty that I held onto my green tea just to keep my hands warm. Who wants to dine in an uncomfortable environment like that? My friend and I were seated somewhat in the middle too so it's not like we were next to the window. The patrons who did get seated by the windows ALL asked to move part way through their meals.
    The sushi was just so-so. Pretty average.

    Triad Maki = 3 stars. It was pretty decent.
    Dynamite Maki = 1 star. It was disappointing and pitifully tiny.

    Would I go here again? Ummm, I wouldn't be the one to recommend it.
    Would I pay full price? Nah, there seems to always be a Groupon or deal available online so I wouldn't bother paying full price.

    Just tried this place out a few days ago.  I live in Wicker Park so it was a bit of a hike to get down to South Michigan, but street parking is available for those who want to drive.  They have the bar area separate from the main dining room and a lounge like setting, but nothing too formal.  
    Many choices on the menu consisting of complicated names and descriptions, but easy enough to narrow down what is familiar. It is BYOB which is nice (small cork fee). For not being busy at all, it took a long time for the food to get prepared and brought out.  Rolls tasted good but nothing extraordinary.  Ordered the battered vegetables for appetizer - would not recommend.  Stick to the sushi and it will be an enjoyable experience.

    Byob and amazing sushi! There's a $5 cork fee, no biggie, and the winter roll is fantastic! Highly recommend this place for sushi if you're in the south loop.

    Wish I didn't have to only give the place two stars as the service was good and the atmosphere was also nice, but, as another person described it I agree that 'Meh' is the perfect description.  

    The taste of the rolls was fine - good even; certainly not outstanding but good.  However, not only were the individual rolls tiny, but they only came with six pieces.  Typically, places serve 8-10 rolls and the rolls are much larger.  Due to this, my friend and I ended up ordering quite a few rolls, and when we left we weren't even hungry.  We were shocked to discover we had racked up over $80, for just the two of us (no alcohol, other than the $5 corkage fee).  

    Considering we were not on a date, and neither of us was trying to impress one another we were shocked.  Normally when I leave a sushi place I'm stuffed and spend about half...but not here.  

    I don't know many places that do a corking fee, so that's a disappointment.  I have no plans to frequent this place again.

    Got a Groupon for this venue last weekend.  Our reservation wasn't until 9, but we managed to come in at 8:30PM. The hostess got us a table instantly, which was very nice.   The sushi was quite good and the restaurant offers the white tuna,  one of my favorite fish!!!
    So why only 3 stars?
    First, I think for a local neighborhood sushi joint, it's a bit overpriced. As if for the type of average decor it offers. It's just not screaming out: "we can charge a premium." Second, I ordered something to drink with my appetizer and my drink came long after the appetizer... which I kind of had to remind the waitress about. Third (and only to make it symbolic and consistent with three stars) I was informed there was no soap in the men's bathroom... ummm made us wonder whether the gentlemen who prepared our raw fish washed their hands? I guess I don't want to think about that.
    In any event, these types of incidences can happen anywhere and might be isolated. However, in my instance it took it from 4 stars to 3. If I lived on South Michigan, you bet your ass I would visit this place again!!

    Maybe it was a bad day for the restaurant when we went on a Friday night??  The staff was very nice and accommodating, but the sushi was not fresh and it took a long time before we received our food (more than 40 minutes).  I think the back room (kitchen) needs help and they need fresher seafood.  The tables were too close together and the room was not comfortable at all.  They did have a few cozy looking booths, but the rest of the restaurant really had a cold feeling to it.   I think they need to dress up the decor a bit (the bare floor to ceiling windows made you feel like you were in a fish bowl).   Maybe some window treatments would provide some warmth and ambience to the place.  I hope they will improve...

    I found out about this place because of groupon and I have been coming back every since. Fast friendly service and it is byob though in past month They added a corkage fee. I prefer triad over south coast sushi which is around the corner

    DELICIOUS!  4.5  because I have to reserve the 5 star for restaurants I would like to live in but I would definitely go back. The volcano roll and spicy California roll were amazing and the Futo roll was extremely unique.  Great ambiance.  And Jessica was a fantastic waitress.  Check it out!

    Have been here two times previously. This last time the service was really slow. It took around 40 to get our .ai  dish, which was a thin fried chicken breast. The chicken I have gotten each time was tough and over cooked. Wasnt nearly as happy. :( will try one more time.

    Checked this place out with a friend a few days ago.  We arrived there when it first opened for the day so we were their first customers.  We were welcomed by 3 smiling hostesses.  We sat down and my friend ordered the Kaki Shooter.  It was a rather large shot glass filled with oysters, a quail egg and scallions swimming in a soy lemon vinaigrette.  I can't Yelp to that because I didn't try it but my friend seemed to enjoy the experience of eating/shooting all the different flavors and textures.

    As for the sushi, we ended up ordering 3:  Kirin Maki, Caterpillar Maki and the Rock n' Roll Maki.  The Kirin Maki and the Caterpillar Maki were ok.  No memorable flavors in those two.  The Rock N Roll was really good.  It had the crunch of the tempura and the spicy mayo.  Loved it.

    The service was good.  Our waters and drinks were refilled in a timely manner.  The food didn't take forever to be prepared and was presented well.

    Triad is a very dependable sushi option in Chicago and is great to satisfy the frequent sushi craving, particularly due to the constant Groupon deals available.  The fish is fresh and tasty - not necessarily the freshest you've ever tasted, but definitely of higher quality than what you get at 80% of the sushi places in Chicago.  

    The restaurant is a weird hybrid of BYOB in that they do sell some alcohol like sake and wine but they also allow you to bring your own wine in for a $5 fee.  

    The Sahara roll is one of my favorites - it's a pretty standard roll found at most Chicago sushi bars - tuna, yellowtail, jalapenos, and cilantro with chili oil.  But Triad offers a great version and the yellowtail is fresh enough that you don't get distracted with the fishy taste that often comes from lesser quality yellowtail.

    The Volcano roll is another dependable roll for those that prefer shrimp tempura and more of a crunch.  

    I wouldn't recommend going here for sashimi or nigiri, as the few pieces I've tried here were not as impressive.  I prefer saving the individual piece orders for places like Coast or Sunda.  But if you're in the mood for some good quality sushi rolls, Triad is a great option.  I recommend waiting for a Groupon, as they pretty much always have a $20 for $40 deal going on.  I think Triad is a little overpriced for the quality that you get.  I find Coast to be a little bit cheaper than Triad and their rolls are better made and of better quality.  You can make a reservation on OpenTable if you want the points, but they typically have not been crowded the few times I've gone and parking is always easy to find in that South Loop location.

    Triad also offers delivery on GrubHub and although sushi is always better while eaten at the restaurant, I would consider Triad the best sushi delivery option in the West Loop/South Loop area.  I prefer them to Butterfly anyday.

    Like others, I tried this joint with a Groupon. It's good not great. Close, not far. Tasty, not delicious.

    The green tea tasted like grass clippings.

    The sushi was artfully prepared and well made, although the Suzuki I had tasted a little too fishy.

    The vibe is cool, minimal and chic, which I like. The bamboo tiki-hut things in the back were odd and out of place.

    Service was very good and the staff was helpful. That said, there are better sushi joints not too far from here, which I'd be just as likely to visit.

    I'm not going to lie but it was a huge disappointment...and when I say disappointment I mean disappointment!!  

    Disappointment #1) I chose this place because I was in the south loop and looking to get my BYOB sushi on.  According to previous yelp reviews, there was no corkage fee.  This has recently changed and they now charge a $5 corkage fee.  I got over it but still annoying.

    Disappointment  #2)  I was very excited to try some of the specialty rolls.  Ordered the Dynamite Maki  ($10), Volcano Maki ($12), and the Rock N' Roll Maki ($15).  I was anticipating a regular size roll for the Dynamite/Volcano and a fairly large roll for the $15 Rock N' Roll.  I WAS WRONG ON BOTH ACCOUNTS.  The rolls were both ity bity! Smaller than any sushi place I have ever been to.  They were 6 pieces each and so small it was like eating mini baby sushi portions.  The taste was alright but nothing special.  

    Disappointment #3) I paid the entire meal on my debit card and left a cash tip.  When I looked at my bank statement they had added the cash tip to the debit card basically doubling the tip. For example I should have been charged $100 and they charged $120.  I called immediately and asked them to reverse it.  I have still not heard back from them.  

    Being that there are so many other BYOB sushi places in the area that DON'T charge a $5 corkage fee I definitely suggest that you find some place else to go.  I'll keep you posted on if they ever reverse that debit charge but I am not holding my breath....

    I don't mean to give this place a poor review, but it was consistently 'Meh.'

    I went there with my bff last night, and I really wanted to like it.  When we walked in, it had so many things going for it!  The whole cozy chic vibe was great- and the hip staff and their friendly demeanor plus the whole BYOB thing pointed to a great evening, but it sort of went downhill from there.

    We had gotten caught in the freak down pour, so I immediately went to the ladies to freshen up.  I loved the updated bathroom, but I noticed the sticky floor and smell of urine.  Then I stopped wondering why they chose an entirely black toilet for the room.  

    When I went back to sit down, my friend went in the bathroom, and the server came over to see if i wanted to order.  Which....??  We had just gotten there, the menus hadn't been cracked, and there were clearly two of us.  So not sure where her head was at.

    When we did order, we started with edamame.  Which was really good. Hot, fresh, tasty...it just took a million years to come out.

    Then, after another long wait,  our 4 rolls, Kirin, Volcano, Rock n Roll & Philadelphia arrived.  The kirin was legitimately good, but the Volcano and Rock n Roll were....very chewy.  The Philadelphia was solidly mediocre.

    Look, I don't mind leisurely service (I was with good company) or even average sushi, but normally when you pay $15 for one roll, it should be pretty yummy, and I was a little disappointed with the overall experience.

    I would give this place another chance, but to be honest, I don't really see the point.

    I bought a groupon for this place, even though I've never been to this place. I choose to buy it only because the location is not far away from my home. I invited my friend and we went there together.
    We spent a perfect evening together. Unfortunately, we did not know that the restaurant is BYOB, so we bought alcohol there. The sushi were fresh and fantastic!
    The only thing is it appeared that the place is too far away on the South and there are not a lot of other places around it, so while walking back home we felt a bit unsafe.

    Went here because I had a groupon. The food was not that great. The sushi rolls were too small. would not recommend. I didn't feel like it was worth my money even though i had a groupon.

    Triad has a lot going for it.
    Good food, friendly service, usually not too crowded, pleasant ambiance, relatively easy parking, good location, BYOB.

    Also, there's a nice small bar area in the front if you want to have a few appetizers and drinks.

    The food is consistently fresh and tasty.
    Veggie rolls, gyoza and beef asparagus are all delicious.

    I found it funny that they didn't accept my reservation for 7pm dinner and told us that we could make a reservation at 630pm because they were packed and busy at 7pm. I was okay with that, adjusted our reservation to that time. When we arrived to eat and spent over an hour there, this place did not get packed. I still don't know why they didn't accept my 7pm reservation because around that time and an hour later, there were still several empty tables. I don't get it. They could've lost customers that way.

    Anyway to the food, we thought the sushi was okay. We've had better. A few of my friends have already been here and they weren't fans. Nor were we. Sushi tasted a bit bland. They seated us in a corner away from the rest of the crowd - don't know why. There were empty tables outside with everyone for a long while..and even when we left. So I don't understand how they run business like that. For the price and the quality of the sushi my fiance and I won't be coming back especially since there's so many new sushi restaurants to try out and that we have had better sushi at other restaurants.

    We came here with a groupon..so that was why we came.

    I'm not aware of a ton of sushi options south of the Loop, so I'm glad Triad is there.  We found it a few years ago when we were hungry after going to an event at McCormick place.   I've been there 3 or 4 times since then and my experience has been consistent.  

    Triad isn't the greatest sushi place, but it's solid and pretty dependable.  They have BYOB and no corkage fee, which is really nice.  It's rarely packed, so you can be seated quickly, and if it is a little busy there's a full bar you can belly up to until your table is ready.

    The fish is OK.  Not great, but on par with most other sushi joints.  Prices are OK.  This isn't the place to go if you love Uni - I've had it here a few times and you can tell it's definitely been sitting around for a little while (you know, that metallic aftertaste they get?)  The rolls are good, nothing especially original, but the portions are generous.

    The decor is nice, and they have a little private area if you want to bring a party and wants your own space.  It's a good place to meet up with friends without having to schlep all the way to the north side.  I'm sure we'll head here again when we're in the area.

    It was really hard to rate this place bc I honestly wanted to love it... its byob and its a few blocks away from where i live, so whats not to love???  I just don't think I would ever go back and dine in here.

    We ordered appetizers and sushi.... our first appetizer came out an hour after we ordered. We got this beef skewer thing which was so utterly bland, wish I had some sauce to go with it, but how could I ask when our waitress never flippin visited our table... We had to flag someone down so we could get some more water... We had to refill our own champagne- which I have to say, for a trendy looking place like this, you would think they could at least refill our drinks as other places usually do when we do byob.  There was only one person making sushi and the restaurant was full.  

    This place has soooo much potential bc their sushi was actually pretty good-- but now I understand why I always see Triad offering groupons...  their service is HORRIBLE.  They really need more servers and cooks.  I do not recommend this place for dine in, if anything, I'd do take out for their sushi- but expect the order to be ready after 1-2 hours :/

    BYOB, full bar, fresh shushi & friendly staff.

    We came here for a dinner double date and this place exceeded my expectations in all areas!!

    The restaurant was pretty packed considering it was a week night. I wonder how busy it gets over the weekend.

    We started with agedashi tofu and sautéed scallops- yum!!

    Then we ordered six rolls. Out of the six, the volcano roll was my favorite.

    We also ordered a bunch of super white tuna sashimi and it was probably the best i've had in a long while.

    There's convenient street parking. I hope to come back soon!

    Gave this place a whirl on a weekday with 3 friends as someone had purchased a groupon for this place not knowing what we were getting into.  

    Kick butt parts = BYOB, fishies for the rolls were fresh, service was great
    Poopers = Can't think of nothing.  

    Another groupon came out and a friend purchased it so I'll get to revisit Triad again soon.  I'll update if necessary.

    I'm not sure why Triad receives such wishy-washy reviews. I've never had anything less than stellar service and the sushi is consistently delicious. There's rarely a wait of more than 15 minutes (even on the weekends) and it's BYOB - no corkage!

    My favorite rolls are the Kirin and the Triad. I can also recommend the gyoza, miso, and nearly all sashimi pieces. Lastly, Triad offers a Groupon approximately once every three months: so stock up!

    Great sushi for the price of "good."

    We stopped on in last night after deciding to ditch the Mag Mile because of inclement weather. The place only had a few people in it when we arrived, but people had poured in by the time we left.

    As mentioned in probably every review, BYOB with no Corkage Fee PLUS a bar! We started off with the Peach Martinis, though I asked for Chambord and a sugar rim to be added which made it an even tastier libation. We started off with the spring rolls, and let me just say that I've eaten a lot of spring rolls in my life... I mean A LOT. And this is by far the BEST one I've ever had in my mouth... EVER... down to the sauce. This is a must try if you eat here.

    For our maki, we had the daynamite, kirin and rock n roll. The dynamite (baked shrimp and scallop with spicy mayo) was good, a little less crunchy that expected. The Kirin (Unagi, grilled salmon skin, avocado topped with salmon roe, sweet mayo and unagi sauce) was actually my favorite of the night with a really good taste to it. I hardly used any soy sauce for this. Actually, I even saved the dipping sauce from the spring rolls for some of the sushi lol. I also had a few bites of the rock n roll (Crab, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna inside topped with scallops, spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce) - my second favorite of the night. This also had amazing flavors in my mouth. Mmm.

    Our (red-headed) server, can't remember her name at the moment, was great during our dinner. Checked in on us plenty making sure we were okay.

    P.S. They have desserts available here (not on the menu) so be sure to ask!

    Hello!
    I went to Triad Sushi today with my husband - I used a groupon voucher and was surprisingly happy with the food! The service was a bit slow at the beginning, but the food made up for it. I was expecting a lot of rice surrounding the maki pieces, but was pleasantly happy with the proportion of rice to fish! I had my first Tuna Supreme maki, which was tuna, super white tuna and avocado! MIND BLOWING! I would go back just to order that dish!
    Please be advised though - corking fee is ONLY VALID ON WINE - we brought our own Sake and was told that we could not drink it; the same with beer - don't bother bringing it because you won't be able to drink it!
    I would go back even without a groupon voucher, it's well worth the trip!!

    Still loving the Triad Sushi Lounge.

    The Chicago Maki is always my go-to when I order here...

    ...but I have found a new LOVE: Kaki Shooter (fresh oyster shooter with a quail egg. A QUAIL EGG! So amazing!)

    I also recently discovered that Triad serves Kaki fresh (or fresh oysters...) I have yet to try them... but I plan to. Oh yes, I do.

    We recently tried the Rainbow Roll (beautiful!) and we eyed the Rock 'n' Roll... considering trying that next time.

    UPDATE: Tried the Rock 'n' Roll tonight. Loved it! It is topped with perfectly-sliced scallops!

    Came with my sister to check them out with a Groupon.

    My sister ordered a drink, but I forgot what it was called. She said it was very light. Kinda like drinking a vitamin water....but wasn't bad.

    Dynamite Maki - My sister liked this, but I thought it was ok.

    Futo Maki - I actually found this too be not bad. My sister thought the raddish was overpowering and too hard.

    Winter Maki - This had a bit too much cream cheese taste too it.

    Kirin Maki - This wasn't bad, but wasn't very flavorful. I couldn't even taste the unagi or grilled salmon skin in it.

    Seems the rolls were too wet and a bit smaller than most places.

    Overall, without the Groupon it is definitely too pricey for what you get. Service was fine.

    Interesting location.

    My friend had a Groupon so we decided to check it out.

    The prices are very high (thankfully our Groupon was for $40!!) The taste is good. The presentation is fine. The atmosphere is dark, stark, and fine.

    The waitress was not very forthcoming about the drink selections. Tea was not even on the menu. When I asked her what there was to drink she pointed to the alcohol menu. When I clarified that I wanted a soft drink she named the usual soda's... with a pregnant pause I asked if there was tea and she said, "Oh, yeah... tea, too." Then I asked what kind of tea they had... she paused as if to say... "It's TEA... do you want some or not?" [BTW it's green tea]

    I had the pork chops for 18 bucks which they billed as THICK but when they came they were no more than a 1/2 inch thick... not thin but not thick...
    They tasted fine but, hey, it's teriyaki... how hard is that?

    My buddy had the chicken. Same great taste but severely over priced.

    The OYSTER SHOOTER was the best I've ever had. Very tangy, spicy, and smooth. Two mouthfuls at least. I'd go back for the shooters.

    Triad, I dub thee a mixed bag. Your sushi is delish. Your service is slightly less palatable. The first time I came in (to use the Groupie), my party of two was turned away for not have a resie. Apparently they had just issued another groupon deal that day and they were completely booked. Boo-urns.

    The next venture was more successful - we got a table! And were promptly told that the sushi would take a while because they were missing a sushi chef. Or something. The fish did, in fact, take a while. But it was SO SO good that I can forgive the tardiness.

    I'm not a huge cuk fan and my dining companion hates eel. This removed a surprisingly large number of roll options from our pool of candidates. But, we were left with the Rock N Roll maki and the Volcano maki, both of which I would rank in the top rolls of all time. Keep in mind: I don't like gigantor rolls and I don't like a ton of ingredients in my rolls. There were fairly basic, bite-sized rolls and they were packed with flavor. Very smooth and spicy. I would come back for these in a heartbeat.

    The nigiri was also good, very fresh and buttery. At $3-4 per piece and $12-15 per maki, this place gets a bit pricey. But the Groupie knocked off about $30, and we dropped (I think) around $65 with tip and 3 glasses of wine. So not bad.

    Recommend Triad if you've got time for a 2 hour dinner and like your rolls manageable.

    My boyfriend and I arrived at Triad just as it opened. Upon walking in (the door was propped open), the hostess rudely ordered us to close the door behind us.  Needless to say, this wasn't a good first impression...

    The service was super slow throughout the entire meal...we waited nearly a half hour for the waitress to bring us the bill. Then we asked to have our leftovers in boxes to take home...which took another 10 minutes.  Once we got home we realized they had never given us one of our sushi rolls (an entire sushi roll)--our food & money gone to waste.

    According to my boyfriend, the sushi was above average. Though the service was slow, the waitress was really sweet and helpful. So that's where the 2/5 stars comes from.

    I feel like everything about this place is just for show--a "cute" hostess that lacks people skills and manners, a modern atmosphere that doesn't deliver a quality experience, and food that looks more interesting than it tastes. Overall, the bad outweighs the good, so I wouldn't go here unless I was desperate.

    I bought the Groupon for this place since I live about a 10 minute walk away...I'm glad I bought the Groupon bc I would probably not have been happy paying full price for this place.  Service was ok as was the sushi.  I really enjoyed the super white tuna sashimi with the jalapeno - tasty!  Rolls were not overly exciting and my husband and I both left feeling kinda hungry.  Since it's a neighborhood spot and I'm all about supporting business in the South Loop, I may give it another try and order something different.

    Oh, the cool thing is that it's BYOW(wine ONLY) with no corkage fee - nice!

    My friend had a $40 Groupon that had to be executed before it expires. It's a Tuesday night but the place was 90% seated. We immediately got a table but two waitresses simultaneously came to ask if we wanted to start off with some drinks and appetizers. Too good of a service? Or lack of supervision?

    We proceeded to ordering:
    1) Vegetable tempura - So filling that I somewhat regretted ordering it because I ran out of space to enjoy the rest of my meal.

    2) Sashimi appetizer - Would it be more befitting if they sliced the giant slabs of fish?

    3) Sahara maki - Spiced and fascinated by the jalapeno and cilantro mixture.

    4) Spicy tuna maki - Simple, but good.

    5) Triad maki - My taste buds couldn't quite differentiate the triad from the spicy tuna maki.

    6) Kirin maki - Adored the salmon skin and roe!

    This order is beyond what a two-person dinner can consume. Do NOT oblige unless you so desperately want a food baby!!! Our dinner came to a total of $66.05 prior to applying the Groupon. I must say it's a bit over board for two people.

    P.S. Service was really slow. It was not the waitress' fault, although she did apologize multiple times. Only one chef was working behind the counter. Should management step up and ease the chef's load to expedite things around here?

    The service is so bad here that I'm writing about how slow it is while I sit in the restaurant. In one hour we received two apps. The second was cold. It wasn't supposed to be. Oh, here we are at 1hr 10 min. Got the rest of our meal. Stay tuned.

    Wow, I never had the chance to finish.

    Well, it started off badly (see above), but then I saw that there weren't enough servers for the restaurant that evening, so not our server's fault.  Her management's fault for not stepping in to help them out.

    Food was ok.  I'd rather go to Oysy.
