| - Overpriced. The showmanship of the chefs is really good, but I feel like they are hamstrung by low quality ingredients. I came here with some friends because we found a groupon and I probably wouldn't come back even with a discount.
The sushi was not great, barely okay. I'm not a sushi expert, and to be honest I still have a hard time with some of the simpler raw stuff where the fish is the focus, but I know a good California roll and these weren't it. The spicy tuna rolls were also lackluster in both flavor and spicy. The worst part about the California rolls was how much veggie they stuffed in there. Come on guys, it's obvious you're using imitation crab meat, now you want to pinch pennies by giving me a half roll worth and filling the empty space with even cheaper veggie?
The drinks were expensive.
The steaks, chicken, shrimp, and scallops I had during the main course were all very well seasoned and expertly cooked, but that can't overcome a bad cut of meat or a flavorless shrimp. I had to make liberal use of the two sauces they provide and that's a shame. Good meats and seafood, when well made, should be able to stand completely on their own.
The fried rice was awesome. Probably because it's basically impossible to mess up the ingredients. Speaking of rice, the rice in the sushi was also excellent. So I guess there's that.
