In a hurry?
If you like to be rushed then this is the place for you. All the waitress and hosts/hostess did was look at our table to see when we would be finished. The place was so dark that the only way to read the menu was by a candle . As a matter of fact this must have been a problem as my menu was charred from people trying to do the same. Aside from that, the basil beef was fatty, the wasabi shumai was gummy and the chicken terriaki was dry. and the chocolate dessert was a frozen mousse. I must say though the sashimi was tasty. A bit over priced for what it was.

A great place!
I was so surprised by the negative reviews - my boyfriend and I love this place! Their sushi is great as is everything else we have tried. Their calamari is great with a coconut breading as are all the fun cocktails - try the keylime martini or green tea margarita. It is more expensive than the other UES sushi places but I think its the best by far either from carryout or dine in. Don't let the negative reviews deter you!

Great
This place looks like nothing special from the outside, but once you step in, it's wonderfully surprising! The atmosphere is very "cool and relaxing"... a great place for a casual date. An attractive bar and an awesome stone wall leading to the back is impressive! The food here is delicious! Citrus Salmon Carpaccio is a must have, as is the spicy Roti Kaya (which I know as Roti Canai). The kitchen entrees are as tasty as the sushi bar entrees, so you can even dine with someone that doesn't like sushi! If you ARE a sushi lover, try the Haku Zushi... simply divine. They have a wide range of chilled sake, but only 1 choice for hot sake. The prices are reasonable. You really can't go wrong here! ENJOY!!!

Great food, Great atmosphere!
This place is great, consistent sushi. Is it a little pricey, sure, but what the hell isnt these days. Ask to sit in the back, a little bit more quiet. The service is kind of ok but they do the job. If you are looking for an extensive explaination of the menu forget it. But to the person who wrote the kitchen dish was poor, what are you doing going to a sushi restaurant and ordering from the kitchen. It's like going to a steakhouse and asking how the burger is -- how do you think it is....come on.

Good Food
Amber is a great resturant that is beautifuly decorated. The sushi and chicken teriaki with peanut sauce is amazing. When you order in the food is ok and not nearly as good as it is in the restaurant.

Poor Dining Experience
Went here for dinner last night. My boyfriend ordered sushi and I ordered the tuna. The sushi came out far before my tuna did...we had to remind to waiter about my dinner, as well as ask him to bring out soy sauce. My tuna finally came out entierly overcooked, I would have sent it back, but my boyfriend had already been waiting to eat his mediocre sushi for 20 mins. Mine was not good and his was definitely not worth the money. I will never come back to this restaurant, there are too many good restaurants in this neighborhood.
