Yes, the service is a little slow, but when you sit at the bar and watch the sushi being made, you see the love and care that goes into it. We had the lunch special which was great value for money.
This used to be my favorite local sushi spot until the last year. Service and quality of seafood has gotten really bad. We used to go here regularly (1-2x/week) but have now stopped.
When it is slow the hostess will go to Danny Coyle's and take to-go orders and deliver it to you while you have cocktails at the bar. Best duo deal in lower haight.
Food is delicious. Being the ONLY diner should mean they pay attention to me. Had to interrupt and pester waitress to be served. What's more important than paying customers?!
Go to the sushi joint down further across from where the clay pot used to be...it's seriously way better. sometimes hot on the inside, but it's delicious and fairly cheap considering th better quality
