🤮 1/5 - This restaurant is terrible - the worst sushi experience I

This restaurant is terrible - the worst sushi experience I have ever had. No pluses, only minuses for this place. Where do I start. How anyone can give this place 4-5 stars much less 2-3 is beyond me.This restaurant is fairly new to the neighborhood and, based upon the reviews, I had been wanting to try it; so I went today at 5:30 when they opened. The place isn't all that large, but they have enclosed sidewalk seating, where I sat. Although they tried to make the decor appealing, I just found it depressing and had a desire to leave shortly after I sat down. Despite their efforts, you definitely know you are eating on the sidewalk. I often like dining outside, but there is something about this place that just doesn't work. They have artificial hanging flowers under the roof and seating for approximately 20 people outside and probably about 30 inside where there is a bar, a sushi bar, and a few tables. The popular music they were playing was a little too loud which made it difficult to understand the servers because their English wasn't that clear in the first place. The service was sporadic, and the servers seemed inexperienced. I asked the same person twice for the check, but she was busy at other tables, and didn't seem to know how to handle two things at the same time. Finally, after about 10 minutes, I got the attention of the Manager, and he brought the check. He was apologetic and asked me how the food was. I had to be honest with him. I didn't very much like it at all, and I have had a lot of sushi in my life. He encouraged me to come back and try again, but that won't be happening - too many good restaurants in NYC. With me, one strike and it is on to better things (hopefully)Now for the food: For a sushi restaurant, the menu was sparse and didn't offer too many selections. They had a few pieces of nigiri and some sashimi you could order - the standard stuff - and 3 meal choices. One was $38 for 4 pieces of nigiri and a futomaki roll, another was the Roku for $58 for 6 pieces of sushi & a futomaki roll. The 3rd was a sushi bar or table dinner for $120.I opted for the Roku, which also included miso soup and edamame, but overall I was sorely disappointed. I started out with the cheapest "hot" sake they had - $18 for an 8 oz glass (total ripoff). The sake wasn't very good and not very hot. By the time I got 1/4 through it was cold. This was such a little amount of sake for a meal. I really wanted more but, at that price, no way. Most Japanese and Chinese restaurants serve sake in a carafe so that it stays hot, and they usually charge a more reasonable price. This place needs to re-evaluate how they serve sake. The miso soup was tasty enough, but just broth with 2 pieces of tofu and 1 piece of seaweed. The edamame was bland. Usually it is cooked in salt water to give it some flavor, but in this case, they didn't bother with the salt.Although the sushi seemed to be fresh, the preparation was a little weird. All of it was too cold, like it had just come out of the refrigerator. It should be more room temperature. The futomaki was obviously pre-made and not the best. It was seaweed with rice inside and inside that a chunk of cucumber, a little bit of avocado, some yucky spinach, and another yucky something I couldn't identify. The 6 pieces of nigiri were pretty standard stuff - salmon, tuna, scallop, yellowtail, and a couple of other pieces I wasn't sure of. The waitress tried explaining to me what they were, but the music was so loud and she was so hard to understand that I basically didn't pay any attention. There was nothing really interesting about any of these pieces. A couple of them had been slightly tweeked, ie salmon with lemon which actually ruined it and a piece I couldn't identify with some weird stuff on it, which also wasn't very good. There wasn't even any ginger.I guess it is pretty obvious that I won't be returning to this restaurant. I was so unhappy that I just left a 10.5% tip whereas I always leave at least 15%. The total was over $90 with the tip, and I just basically felt very cheated. This meal wasn't even worth $50.
