Sushi Zushi

I had a delicious sushi lunch with my friend yesterday.
Our server was very attentive and helpful and our roles were delicious.
We had the Christina roll, Lincoln Heights, roll, and Stone Oak roll.
It definitely hit the spot! The restaurant was also quiet and clean.

I went to the happy hour and it was pretty good.
I ordered the pork and vegetable fried gyozas as an appetizer, a combination fried rice and I also had the spicy tuna roll and the Philadelphia roll.
Everything was good.
The cucumber martini was too strong, I didn’t like it that much.
The service was excellent.

This place is a shadow of what it used to be.
My mother and I went here for lunch and could not be more disappointed with the service we received.
The atmosphere is dingy and not welcoming.
It's clear that this location really needs to hire more staff and improve the atmosphere.
Otherwise, this restaurant should be shut down. We were greeted by the hostess and taken to a table.
We then waited over ten minutes before we managed to flag someone down to at least get started on drinks (although we were ready to order).
Twice, we asked the hostess what was taking so long, but we were only told they were short staffed.
During this time, the waiter (Jesse/Jessie) who was supposed to serve us helped other customers around us, but never greeted us.
The person we finally got service from was actually the cashier who was picking up slack and bringing food to tables (unfortunately, I did not catch her name, but she deserves a raise). The cashier took our order and brought us our drinks.
It was only after this that Jesse finally came to our table.
However, instead of apologizing or explaining what took them so long, they acted as if we had just sat down.
We told Jesse that the cashier had in fact already helped us. We finally got our food, which was fine.
During our meal, we noted that other customers who had been seated were also waiting upwards of ten minutes before being served.
After we finished eating, we asked the cashier for the check.
Jesse brought it to us, once again not apologizing or explaining their lack of service.
I tipped the cashier, but not Jesse, as they did not serve us at all. Apparently the reason for the shortage of staff is due to previous managers driving away other employees. As for the atmosphere, it seems that at least half of the lights are dead, the floor is sticky, and the laminate on the menus are peeling away.
It was not a welcoming environment. We will not be coming to this location again.
