I went there for my graduation dinner with my family. I called and reserved a table for 7+. I got there early and the second I walked in, it was like walking into a sauna! It was unbelieveably HOT! So I asked the hostess if there was any air conditioning and she assured me that there was and that it was probably just from the heat outside. I again, mentioned something to the guy who was seating us, and he said that the air was working just fine. Then last but not least our waiter, after probbing him, said that the air was off, and offered me a free glass of wine due to the heat. Not once, but TWICE, did the staff LIE directly to my face! -the food was great, but even our waiter gave us terrible serive. (and all he had to do was REFILL OUR DRINKS, its a buffet.) You would think for a party of 7+ that the waiter would be more on top of things. I had to ask for more water twice. Oh and he couldn't answer nothing about the menu, or how the place was set up!
Pros: Great Sushi
Cons: Horrible waitstaff, no Airconditioning

Todai used to be the one of the enjoyable places for sushi in town. Always friendly wait staff with smile ,even hostess as well. Food was ok, nothing better than before for weekday lunch, didn't really expect that much but THE SERVICE WAS JUST HORRIBLE by the hostess showing me a table. No greeting and just went straight to the table by herself, didn't even look back that we were following or not. I felt like I was in some cheap chinese resturaunt. They don't even treat the customers like that I believe. I was not sure it was only that hostess or all , but I figured that the other wait staff were as bad as the hostess. They were just rush to take the plate even we are talking or eating. Not only once, twice , to the end. The worst was that we were paying separately, hostess was just showing bad attitude to us and she even didn't give me a reciept. I asked for it once , and she came with worse attitude~!! Horrible customer service~!
