Squid Ink Sushi Bar

A modern take on a traditional food. Sushi was good with a wide variety of options. The restaurant was clean and service was good. It is reasonably priced and the location is easy to get to and find a place to park. It's good for all ages and different sizes groups.

This place has an ongoing history of robbing customers. They list the "supposed" price of every item on the menu but will charge you more without telling you. Most people may not be catching it, but I did and called it out. The waiter said customers have been complaining for months about being shown a lesser price on the menu but a higher price on the bill. He said management just isn't bothering to update the menus. Still, I thought, why didn't the waiter tell me while taking my order that it costs more than what the menu handed to me says? Since the waiter pretended to be powerless to correct the bill for the lessor, correct total, I asked him to let me talk to management myself. He said there's no one in management here to help me. He left me no choice but to pay the higher bill even though he was agreeing with me that it was incorrect. I did and gave him zero tip. Afterwards, thinking about it more, I wish I didn't pay and just walked out. It bothered me that the business plans on each customer feeling it's not worth it making too much fuss over a few extra dollars. But one customer at a time, every day, all day, for months, that adds up to the thousands of $$$ extra profit by robbery. I contacted the local police, attorney general, and channel 12 call for action. I don't know if anything will come from that. I'm considering turning in the paperwork at the court office for a civil lawsuit. I wouldn't sue because I need those extra few bucks back but to at least inconvenience and embarrass Squid Ink Sushi Bar for willfully ripping off everyone in the valley. ******* UPDATE ******* The Attorney General sent me back a letter about going after Squid Ink for fraud. Soon after, I received an apology check in the mail from Squid Ink. Since my original post here, I've met other people who have told me of also being conned but out of much more money than I was. If you know someone that's another victim, tell them to contact the Attorney General and me. We can both help their lawyers show that Squid Ink has history, precedent, and an ongoing propensity to commit fraud onto the public community. ******* UPDATE ******* I'm hearing from people that read this post telling me they're getting similar, bad experience. This is still a problem here, despite how long it's been since I posted this review.

The staff was very friendly, as others have stated. I think they may be making up for the over priced menu items. I get Saba (mackerel) every time I’m out for sushi, which is weekly, but the presentation here was far from the best, and almost double the price of what everyone else charges. It looked like the chef needed to sharpen his knife (see pictures). The other two rolls we got were good, but nothing to write home about. One of them was impossible to eat because it was too big and cut too thin, so it would fall apart as soon as you tried to pick it up. If you love good fresh sushi, and care about taste more than fancy names for “stuff thrown together in roll”, I would recommend going somewhere else.

I love their potstickers! Their food quality is below average. Their sushi falls apart and the it is always a challenge to get decent service in this restaurant. There is typically large groups of employees standing around talking. In this visit, I approached the large group of staff to place my order as no waiting ever came to take my order. Overpriced

We were told to seat ourselves, no problem there, but it took about ten minutes for anyone to realize we did not have a server. Again, not a big problem for me because we were just talking about our day. However, it would have been nice to have been acknowledged. The food came out quickly and everything tasted great. I would come back.
