So here I am again 6 months later and they still have the $50 medium tray deal so I'm assuming the "deal" in its name is just a marketing scheme.
As you can tell from comparing my two photos, they took out the uni sushi and replaced the salmon avocado roll with a (predominantly) tempura bits roll. They also changed the topping of the "special roll" from minced sashimi to a less appetizing mushy tempura bits mixture...
It really became apparent to me this time that they've been cutting on costs, which is unfortunate. I'm no longer getting the types of sushi that I expected and anticipated for.. so this restaurant has dropped 1 star for my rating.
