| - First impression walking through the door was that Sushi Hiro was feeling a little tired and dated. Of the sushi restaurants I've visited over the past couple of years, this one certainly feels like it's the granddaddy of them all. Which is too bad, because years of experience counts greatly . . . but even a minor makeover could really freshen this place up.
The second thing that I took notice of is how the food is served: in some cases, on dried out wood slabs, ala 70's steak houses.
Owning wood cutting boards at home, I'm pretty meticulous about keeping them oiled up. You know, to repel the organics from permeating the wood pores.
So... with those two immediate negatives aside . . .
The waiter was very friendly and attentive. I don't always get that vibe in sushi restaurants (actually, hardly ever). Typically I get the "I'm serving you sushi, and sushi is serious business, SO NO SMILING HERE!!!"
The quality of the food was good, though a little lacking in the portion size. At least from my perspective. We kept it simple, but mostly because that's the menu in a nutshell.
We finished, but there wasn't anything jumping out at as after doing so.
Bottom line is we visited this restaurant because we were unable to get into our "regular." And afterwards, there wasn't a reason to switch.
