    Food is terrific. services exceptional. atmosphere less than ideal since the table next to us was loud and swearing a lot. That's not the fault of the restaurant that's the fault of the inconsiderate tourists who drank too much before they got there. If we were to go back we would get a more private table.

    Sansei was just awful! One of the most disappointing sushi experiences of my life. Rice bad, fish bad, service bad…complete lack of pride.
