Kanji OTR

Wow!!!! What happened to this place!? Service was slow and waitress had terrible attitude. No attention to detail. I am gluten free and they used to bring gf soy to the table when you let them know, now I have to ask twice and the waitress huffs and puffs. Sushi still good as I remember but amount of fish they give you is tiny now. Kitchen looks like disaster. Power tools and bug zapper zapping flies right next to food.

Nothing super egregious happened during our visit, but it's unlikely we would go back to this establishment and would only cautiously recommend it to anyone else. When our waitress initially approached us, she gave us the same recommendations the hostess just had, but we went ahead and ordered edamame anyways. My partner has celiacs so we asked if they had gluten free soy sauce, and the waitress said yes and immediately turned around to put in our appetizer without having asked us any questions about drinks. We then had to stop our server to ask her if we could place a drink order, and the beverages were rather foul - the kind of attempt at elevated cocktails that just ends up tasting gross. I had the Shipwreck and it left a filmy feeling on my teeth (maybe the tamarind? I'm admittedly not super familiar with the ingredient) and my partner had the dragon's milk which tasted like the bartender dropped the whole pepper shaker in it. We also had to stop our server again for the gluten free soy sauce she never brought us, despite her having seemingly stopped short of taking our drink order to turn around and grab it. When we asked her again, she responded as if it was a new request (no apology for having forgotten it the first time). The water tasted like chlorine or some cleaning-type chemical, and I honestly would have preferred drinking from the garden hose. Our server did go ahead and she got me a water from the bar tap which tasted normal. The edamame was a little hard, but the food was generally okay. The bulgogi was rather expensive for the serving size, although the half price sushi was a fair bargain. Ultimately though, the meal was unenjoyable between the service, taste, and cost.

Great service and just as amazing food! Rae our server was the best! We had the Choonchun Chicken, crab rangoons and Thai Tanic Roll recommended by the hostess and they did not disappoint. They made great accomodations for our gluten allergy as well. We highly recommend and will be back again!
