Another review below said if you point and clearly mark your sheet, you will get what you ordered. That was not my experience on more than 20 occasions. I wrote out exactly what I wanted in clear, bold print, ask for it outloud, and point at it on the sheet. I still rarely get the appetizers I ordered, and they don't really seem to care. One time I ordered one thing, got something totally different that didn't even sound similar that I would never order...and the snotty little waitress acted like I had drowned her kitten. She wouldn't even wait our table after that, and would ask another server to do it. \r

I've had them come take my mostly full drink to refill it, then never bring it back...ask 5 times for them to bring it back and all 5 times they forget. I went an entire meal without a drink. They never say sorry, they just talk about you in mandarin. \r

Another fun time was waiting 15 minutes for someone to take my order, because the entire wait staff was ordering from a chinese place together. They practically flaunt their laziness in front of you. \r

That said, the sushi is cheap, the tempura is how tempura should be most of the time (lightly battered, not dipped in wads of giant pancake-like batter like most places), etc.\r

Update - 7-24-7, above this point is a few months old. The service has improved a lot recently. The people are friendly and seem to care that you get what you ordered in a timely manner. Last time we waited a while for our drinks and service because there was one girl waiting the entire restaurant, but she was going as fast as she could and did amazingly well considering. Upped the rating to recommended based on the value and improved service.
Pros: Cheap, decent sushi, good tempura,good decorations for an old IHOP building
Cons: Improved service, still some order glitches, location is a PITA for downtowners
