Review Summary

At Sushi Sama, the food is excellent, but in person service is slow and the preparation seems to take longer than expected for dishes that are not complicated to make. Online ordering via a third party was unreliable, with the restaurant appearing unavailable and staff unreachable, leading to canceled orders. Afternoon hours on a Monday seem inconsistent with being open, raising questions about ingredient freshness and overall reliability for future orders. The space is described as small and poorly located, and safety concerns about the sushi lead customers to reconsider ordering from this location.View restaurant profile
