Honestly, this was once my favorite BYOB sushi spot. The food and atmosphere was, and still is incredible. Their volcano roll is spicy and crunchy and presented beautifully...my fiancee raves about the beef and asparagus appetizer. In spite of the wonderful food and sleek space, I will never go back. On two important occasions, once while family was in town, and once for a friend's birthday, we have been the unfortunate victims of incompetent hostesses. After calling two weeks in advance for a prime dinnertime reservation on a weekend, and securing a table for 5, I was called 1 day prior to that reservation by the hostess to tell me that they would be unable to fulfill my request. Then, a month later (after begrudgingly forgiving Coast for botched reservations), we again tried to dine there. We called to make a res., and were told that they never accept reservations for a table larger than 4 on weekends between 6:30 and 9:00. So we took our chances and decided to walk-in. When we got there, we were asked why we didn't make a reservation!!!!!!!! And that my friends is why I will never go back. (But, if you must go, please save yourself a headache and go on a weekday.)
Pros: ambiance, selection of house maki, BYOB, white dragon roll
Cons: lack of cabs, long waits, incompetent hostesses, unreliable service, inattentive staff
