Rise Sushi - Fine Asian Cuisine

It started in an almost empty restaurant, had to stand for quite some time to have a table wiped off, yep we just stood there us and the server …mind you there were plenty of open tables … Don’t recommend you eat a late (7:00) Sunday dinner . Now I know why the sushi was meh , they are closed on Monday . I spent $124 for 2 people for meh sushi. 2 pieces of white fish in total for 2 dinners and 3 rolls… were there noodles in the miso ??? I have been here before and yesterday was a disappointment!!!

We had a 6:45 reservation for my husbands birthday dinner. We were seated in a side room with one other table and 5 empty tables. After being seated and sitting there for 20 mins we had to ask for server and water. We finally ordered soup and steamed chicken dumplings (picture enclosed). The waiter brought the dumplings 35 mins later, they were ice cold and served so unappealing. We asked for a manager and she came over and was not accommodating and said she would be back. In the meantime our soups came and it was tepid at best. Completely inedible! At that point we got up and left and went to a local competitor, without a reservation and had a wonderful full dining experience. We will never go to RISE again.

Father’s Day dinner, please save your money and go another restaurant. Food was horrible, service mediocre and just not a pleasing experience. Order spicy Tuna and also Spicy salmon and both taste the same. I asked the waiters which section was tuna and which was the salmon just in case I was missing something,, Still same taste

Service was absolutely horrendous. We went on a Sunday night, wasn’t too busy. There was no one at the reception desk so we waited, and then waited some more until we finally decided to go up to the bartender to see if he could get someone, as the sign says “please wait to be seated”. Our waiter seemed very bored and not interested in being there. He didn’t even introduce himself. Food was good, but no one checked on us for the rest of the time we were there to see if we needed anything else. We ordered the check and a box, and when the waiter came back with it, he didn’t say a word! It’s a shame because it is such a beautiful place by the lake and the food is good, but who wants to return with that kind of service! Staff definitely needs to be trained more to provide better customer service!

We have been customers for over 20 yrs(prior location down 18 th St). The restaurant is very nice and outside seating by the canal is good. The place is pretty big but there is always some confusion at the front for seating. They sat us at a booth my grandchildren would fit in and we are not large people. There are booths connected in the middle with a wooden divider but you you are literally a foot away from the booth next to you. The service is always bad with a few exceptions. We never saw our waitress after we ordered. The food is good but I ordered the same thing I always do and the waitress said we don’t have fried tofu just steamed which I knew was wrong and she insisted they never had fried tofu. So steamed is healthier but in all the years I always got fried tofu and the steamed was not the same at all. I noticed prices are higher like most places but Rise is kind of dishonest. I asked my waitress for soup or salad comes with the meal. Not anymore that is an extra charge now. Ok next they bring my plate which is wide and square and looked large. When I put my fork into the dish the depth was about 1/2 inch so while it looked big it was much less than I normally get. So in summary if you like bad service really no service and like overpaying for small portions than you will love Rise. I go back because my wife loves the ambiance and the food is good but way less veggies than I used to get. I am done now as there are much better options for service and food down the street.
