My husband, son and I went to Omikoshi this past Sunday for lunch. Our party of 3 was seated and presented with 2 menus; the manager went to find more, but never returned with another menu. Furthermore, she came and asked for my menu (closed in front of me, while my husband was still looking at his) before we had ever ordered our meal. When I handed it to her, telling her she obviously needed it worse than I, she remarked they had only 5 menus in the restaurant! Should have been my first indication...\r

We sat at a 4 top table next to the kitchen, near the sushi bar. Two of the four chairs had broken arms. The walls on either side of my chair were in sad shape; one had large paint chips showing plaster; the other had food splatters scattered everywhere. My husband requested an egg be added to his bowl of soup; we were informed that they didn't have any. (Though many of the sushi rolls contain egg, as well as the fried rice - but who are we to argue about a $.10 egg??) Evidently , they expected him to eat his soup with his chopsticks, because we weren't provided any other untensils. We waited nearly 5 minutes to find someone for a spoon . I was astounded at the poor service. \r

Having said that, the sushi was beautifully presented, and tasted very good. My husband also liked the soup, though would really have preferred it with egg. We all ordered water to drink. The bill, for 4 sushi rolls, 3 orders of Nigiri, and a bowl of Udon soup (remember, 3 glasses of water) came to $60.11 (My son ate nothing ) Needless to say, though the food was tasty, I refuse to pay this kind of money to eat in a restaurant this dirty, run-down, and with such obvious poor service again. \r

The final insult came with a trip to the ladies' room when leaving. Plaster showing through burgundy walls was unappealing, but no more so than 2 toilets with feces stuck to the bowl above water level. Where is the Management of this restaurant? SAVE YOUR MONEY, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Pros: Fresh fish, pretty presentation
Cons: Dirty, broken chairs, short on menus, very pricey
