| - Writing this review pains me because I really wish I could rate this place higher but I just can't. If I went to restaurants to be treated nicely then this place would warrant at least 4 stars. I do not however go to restaurants solely to be treated nicely but instead I go for the food. With that said I have to rate this place down, way down.
After mentioning to the man that I haven't had sushi since I have been here I had sushi on the brain like crazy! I then remembered that there was a sushi joint a hop skip and a jump away from me so I figured why not. I called A Sakura to see if they had any happy hours specials, don't judge me, and they did. If you buy $15 worth of sushi you get a fee California roll, sounded like a fair deal. Anyway, was excited to discover this hopeful gem by my place and was unfortunately very disappointed.
I started with the miso soup, decent. I believe the next thing was an Alaskan roll, not decent. I finished with some salmon hand rolls, worse. I didn't like it at all, none of it. It wasn't fresh and the presentation was poor. It was so poor that I didn't finish it and could have done without the California rolls that were supposed to be a bonus.
I am glad that I tried this place because I can now stop wondering how this place was. With that said however I could have done without the memory. I am far from a sushi connoisseur but I can definitely tell the difference between good food and bad food and this was certainly bad food. My recommendation to this place is to try a little harder, get some fresher fish, and keep the help; they were the star of my experience.
