Had lunch at Miso last Sunday. Couldn't have been more disappointed. We ordered two sushi sets. Being seated at the sushi counter, we had a good view of food being prepared and put on the countertop before it was served to customers. When our sushi set came onto the counter-top, I noticed steam coming out from the sushi. Among what was ordered was tamago yaki. Both sets had it as our little one was a great fan of it.

We ordered two sushi sets. Being seated at the sushi counter, we had a good view of food being prepared and put on the countertop before it was served to customers. When our sushi set came onto the counter-top, I noticed steam coming out from the sushi. Among what was ordered was tamago yaki. Both sets had it as our little one was a great fan of it. Steam was coming out from the tamago yaki. What shocked me was that the tamago yaki was placed back to back with the other sushi pieces like toro and uni, literally being squashed together. The second set soon came on the countertop. Steam was coming out again and pieces of sushi stood on the plate back to back.
I pointed out to the chef that it was clearly not acceptable to put raw sushi back to back with steaming hot food. The chef gave me a sideway glance and totally ignored me - no gesture, no acknowledgment, no facial expression, didn't even bat an eyelid. A waiter heard me complaining and came along immediately. He assured me that the tamago yaki was not hot but wascold and it was icy vapour I was seeing. I tried the tamago yaki and it was hot! While he was smart enough to have acted fast and shown some courtesy to a disgruntled customer, he clearly led me up the garden path. Not very helpful, to say the least.
The story did not end there and then. When I picked up the sushi with chopsticks, it virtually fell apart. It was very loosely rolled and the rice did not stick at all. So, they did not use Japanese rice! The set cost $188. It's on special, regular being like $250 or thereabouts, as advertised. While it was not very pricey, it was not cheap either. For that price, one would have legitimately expected genuine Japanese rice.
Apart from our group, there were about four or five tables within sight. I think the restaurant owners must ponder why their restaurant is deserted at lunchtime on Sunday and do something about it.
