Me and my girlfriend came here 2 hours before they closed. There was barely any cars in the parking lot and some of the lights were off inside. We both hesitated to go in as we saw no one inside, not even the hostess. We were hungry so we went in anyway. They turned off the heat for the food and it was very cold and very little variety to choose from. This is why I rated 1 star: I asked for a refill and instead was given a check. These people are horrible! AS SOON as I placed my money on the table and tried to get up the waiter RAN to the table and GRABBED the money as soon as she can and counted it. She was so rude! She was all up in my face and in my way counting the money while I tried to get up and leave. She was too busy counting instead of saying thank you. They think you dont pay or tip. I couldn't believe how fast and desperate these waiters are for your money like animals! They treat you like criminals and I REGRET leaving a tip. Me and my girlfriend had so much gas afterwards and couldnt stop using the bathrom. NEVER ever again. (I consumed sushi and immediately spit it out in a napkin. It tasted old and bland and I didnt want to regret getting worms) Please, go somewhere else. I still couldn't believe how fast she snatched that money from the table before i even got up.
