(With a chuckle) & he said yes & seated me no eye contact! there were two other tables with ppl already dining & I made the third table two other tables came in but he managed to take one tables order that arrived after me before mine which was fine Im by myself but didn't make a fuss however when he finally got to me he seemed rushed & annoyed by my questions I ordered the hibachi salmon which was subpar & greasy the only napkin I had was the one that came with my silverware and I asked for extra he gave me ONE napkin??? that was the last I saw him he never came back to my table for refills or anything else I did not feel welcome in that establishment he was dry & He was very rude ! Once I read other reviews I knew what I felt wasn't just my imagination & I won't be back!!

On a recent visit to The Edge, I decided to try something different. I noticed that there were few…read morecustomers (at the time) here, so I wanted to give them some business, and try something I haven't had before. I ordered the gyoza, which are fried dumplings filled with meat and veggies, served with soy sauce. After ordering from the sweet cashier lady, I was given a buzzer to alert me when my order was ready. After a short wait, I picked up my order. The dumplings were amazing! They were not piping hot as if they had just come out of the fryer and they were not greasy. I'm not sure if they were fried or air fried. But I do know they were flavorful and me and my guy enjoyed themselves and agreed that they were the star of the evening! I can't wait to go back and try something different!

Tried Yamato based on the raving reviews but was entirely disappointed! The sushi quality was…read moreterrible!! We ordered the Yamato roll, the singing river roll, and the dynamite roll. The sushi was not fresh (we did order 30 minutes before closing). The rolls were lacking in quality and the avocado had taken a turn for the worst, could have easily been cut off so we wouldn't even know but that showed us they didn't care about what they were giving their customers. The crab Rangoon was fried in a thick breading, also don't recommend as it was hard to chew. If they used a thinner bread it might have a chance hahah. There are so many good sushi places in the area or within a 30 minute radius with similar prices so I wouldn't return or recommend. The inside of the restaurant is nice and spacious, but that's not going to make up for the crappy food.

Where do I begin? I…read morehave lived in the Birmingham Metro area the majority of my life and love trying new places, so when my son spotted this place on a shopping trip to Publix and asked if we could go try it out I said yes (if he was a well-behaved boy at school lol). Luckily for us, he was today. It's location being over the parking deck is probably why I didn't notice it and I was nervous about how accessible it would be however there were two solid ways to get there either from the street or parking deck so that proved to be no issue at all. It has both indoor and outdoor seating with cute decor all over the inside. I've never been to Japan but one could imagine this gave its all to emulate the feel of a cool Japanese city restaurant. There's a cocktail bar on the right, sushi bar to the left, and good seating in the middle. Maybe large parties would be hard to seat upon reflection but I'm sure it's doable. The menus we received were EXTENSIVE. So many sushi and nigiri options were available it was almost overwhelming but they also gave us a paper selection for sushi that went into detail of the chef specials. But don't worry, they had other options including various soups, salads, appetizers (we got the spring rolls, YUM. My son devoured them), and hibachi style dishes. We decided to get the Udon with shrimp and veggies, Osaka roll, and Vestavia roll. Genuinely, you can taste the love and care. My son actually closed his eyes and sighed when he dived into the noodles dish and was enamored with the Vestavia roll (did I mention he's six?? Seriously, that reaction from a six year old means they're doing something right!). I also was beyond impressed with the flavors of it all. I wish I was more hungry so I could get more. Lastly, I want to touch on service. I, myself, am a bartender so service is a big thing for me. I have high expectations because I know how the job should be done. When I tell you these lovely people know how to make you feel at home, goodness. Every customer that came in was warmly greeted and if they were a regular it was like they were coming home. The lovely lady at the front (I want to say was maybe the manager?) was all smiles and running around helping and talking with staff and guests alike. She stopped by our table and chatted with my son and told us she was happy they had "new family members" (LOVE). Our server was phenomenal, even seeing my son was struggling with his chopsticks so he rigged up a pair to be more kid friendly which was great. We were sat facing the sushi bar so we were watching how much care and effort they were putting into each plate. It was a sight to see. This place clearly cares about its patrons from the moment they come in til the moment they leave. The love they put into every dish and interaction should be something you get everywhere. They've set a high bar and I'm happy we got to experience it. I cannot wait to go back. I'm already plotting what I'll try next!

The restaurant wasn't crowded at all, which made for a quiet and easygoing meal. The sushi itself was just okay... nothing particularly memorable, but it satisfied the craving. Service was smooth and timely, likely helped by the lighter crowd.

Just a few select items are discounted, and not at 50%. More like 40% for a few, the rest at 20%. 1- The service is absolutely lousy and slow. By the time I ordered my food and saw it in front of me, this nice family of four arrived 10mn after I ordered, ate and left! The restaurant was not particularly busy. Was it because I am Asian? 2- The second time I went was with a friend visiting from Chicago. He LOVES sushi. So we, 2 older gentlemen, dressed in shorts and a Star Wars shirt, arrived at 4.40. Waited about 7mn by the hostess to get seating. We asked for a booth and the said "Sorry all booths are reserved from 5pm" I knew that was a lie as which restaurant has all their booths reserved at the same time. She asked if we didn't mind seating at the sushi bar. Normally this is where they seat people when it's packed, or when they want to hide you. My friend was cool about it so we did. Again, the restaurant was not particularly busy. Upon leaving at 5.20, just a few of the booth were occupied. So yeah, the hostess lied. I wished I got her name. 3- The food was ok to good. Not a single Japanese chef in view. I lived in NY and Honolulu, and I can tell you when a sushi is good. Our waitress was fantastic and very helpful though. 4- I wonder how I will get treated when I go in a casual business attire. My take is that it is a very snobby place. I bet if you look like have money, they will service you well. If not they will reluctantly. Bottom line, do not waste your time. Service/food is inconsistent.
