It was my 21st birthday on the day my boyfriend and i decided to try uchi, since we love sushi. What we didn't know was that this place is a SUSHI FUSION place... which means its not traditional sushi. That was alright, we were looking at the menu, and it was kind of expensive for students like us... but since it was my birthday we didn't care about the price range. Anyhow, our waiter came and he was friendly.. "at first". We first ordered edamame, and took some time to decide what we wanted... WOW... he took very long before he came to us.. and he passes us like 3 or 4 times He was actually serving the tables in front and back of me... because they ordered alcohol. Actually he didn't even ask us if we wanted any drinks, they just gave us water. Finally.. he came... and got our order,,, the food was good. :) but we finished our sushi roll and sashimi in about 1 minute so we waited there with empty plates... which our waiter passed by another 3~4 times... By this time, my boyfriend and I was pretty upset. I do not know if he was ignoring us because we looked young or whatever.. but he took so long to come back to us. And then.. we ordered couple of sushi s and today's special.. by the time our meal had come out we were so hungry.. and after we ate everything we were still hungry. I know this is a fancy restaurant i expected a little more even tho it was small portion, it was good... no complaints about the taste. MY biggest complaint is about the waiter... BY the time we finished, my boyfriend just put his cc on the table, since he took so long... I'm a waiter at another sushi restaurant.. but this wasn't the service i give to my customers even tho they look very young. I think my boyfriend gave him like $ .50 tip ... because he was so mad..but the waiter came out to the balcony and gave us a dirty look. But i SWEAR he deserved it... maybe he got a better tip from those other 2 tables he had.?
Pros: Romantic mood interior, Taste
Cons: Snobby waiter (which ruins the romantic mood), slow service, too noisy, feels to crowded
