| - Was looking to try something new last night so cheated on my old favorite Mr. Sushi/Akaihana.
First thing I learned after reading lots of reviews and settling on this place: their reverse happy hour from 8-10pm is only monday-thursday. The 3-6?happy hour is 7 days a week. Oh well.
Ok so Service was great with the exception of the Green Mussel special we ordered which I think the sushi chef may have forgotten about because it wasn't until about 5 minutes after we'd finished all our other food that our server yelled at him in Japanese?... and our mussels promptly came out immediately after.
The bf ordered a small Kirin, I ordered a glass of the plum wine ($6).
We ordered
-a spicy tuna roll ($6),
- the "Maryland" roll ($9.95) which was shrimp tempura and cucumber inside the roll with a spicy crab mixture on top,
-a california roll, basically, with river eel and eel sauce on top($11.95) which I can't remember the name of (all of their specialty rolls are named after states).
-the Green mussel special ($4.95) which was 4 mussels baked with sweet, spicy, creamy sauce and topped with green onion and masago
All were really good with the exception of the spicy tuna which was only so so.
As other reviewers have said, there is a 15% gratuity added to the check. I think it's a little weird that people get so upset about that... having been a server in my younger years, I almost always tip 20%+. And I always calculate tip based on the after tax amount (bill totals 10 bucks, you leave 2 for tip for a grand total of 12. what's the problem?) But that said, because the service was good, we left more than the base 15%. They also have a sign on the door that says they no longer accept AmEx, fyi.
There were many positives about this experience. Next time I will come during Happy Hour to see what their specials are like.
