Sushi Ann

6.6/10Japanese

AI-generated summary

Traditional , around $250 and closer to $300 if you want to leave full. People praise the rice and the imported Japanese , though the cuts run small. Service is the sore spot and a few people say it ruined an expensive meal. The common advice is to go at lunch, where the price makes more sense.

  • replying to u/ChefBoyD: I get you big dog. Im in the industry. Poor serving means less tip. Anything stellar gets more. The fact that they showed a reation already tells me the kind of servers they are. Fuck what everyone else is talkin about over here. Your tipping on their service, if it didnt meet your expectations, thats on them.

    you shouldn’t be getting anything if the service wasn’t great in all actuality

  • There are all traditional omakase where the restaurant proprietor is Japanese. They may have chefs from other countries, but their chefs are all people who have worked in high end sushi for years.

  • replying to u/JackCrainium: Here is a review from google from this month, with similar perspective re service……. So you can all knock this one, also…….. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ My husand and I used to love this place but were badly disappointed at our last visit in august 2023. First let me say that the quality and freshness of the food is still at it's best, it's impecable. Greatest comliments to chef Noriyuki Takahashi. The price and the service were seriously questionable. We had booked seats at the counter to have Omakase. Upon arriving at the restaurant - which was half empty - we decided to have some hot food after all and asked if we could move to a table. The host was clearly very unhappy about that stating "You make me lose business". Are you serious? How unpolite can you be? We overlooked his remark in favor of chef Takahashi's wonderful food and sat down - and waited then for 15 minutes to be served. The service was unengaging and sloppy. Since we have been to Sushi Ann last time prices have increased by almost double. We got presented with a bill of 700 $ for 4, 5 beers, 4 sakes, 2 menus and 3 extra orders of sushi. We are absolutely willing to pay a certain amount for a fantastic meal, but this felt seriously overpriced. We would have overlooked this circumstance if it weren't for the impertinent remark of the host at the beginnig of the evening, which quite frankly ruined the experiene a bit for us. I guess what makes you lose business it not your lack of seats at the…

    Yeah, don’t recommend coming here. Not worth your hard earned money

  • replying to u/tunitg6: I'll need to check out Sushi Ann. What do they specialize in?

    It’s really good but I only need a couple personally. He mainly uses Japanese imported fish which is great
