| - It's been a long time since I've been to Sushi Kim. I remember it being better. Honestly I probably didn't make the best food choices to highlight their sushi offerings, but...
Okay, the above average...though she hovered a bit, the waitress was attentive (very). On the plus side that meant we got anything we wanted quickly. On the minus side...there was a 'rushed' feel. Like...please eat and get out.
The salmon I got was great. As was the jap chae. The bi bim bob (sic) was a bit on the bland side, and the rice didn't have that crunch but it was fine. The gyoza was good. The miso was good. The kim chi was good. I ordered bulgogi sushi, but didn't really consider the fact that it would be basically a beef roll. That was disappointing, but it tasted "fine".
The place was more or less empty and the decor had a cobbled together slightly shabby feel. The fountain at the front of the restaurant was as empty. They seem to have accumulated various kitschy decorative items to line the half walls that separate the dining area from the bar, and they were a bit dusty, which lent itself to that air of protracted benign neglect. Upstairs seemed empty (korean barbecue) but I didn't venture up to see.
When the waitresses weren't actively serving patrons, they hid behind bamboo and watched, which is actually moderately amusing when you consider it. *you can't see me...i'm invisible!!*
If there's a next time, it will probably be just for sushi. Maybe takeout.
