| - Ah, the infamous Sushi House Goyemon! Thank you Nelson Q. for convincing me to try this place. I've told myself I wouldn't eat sushi elsewhere since I am a huge fan of Sushi Mon. But somehow I found myself walking into unfamiliar territory on Sunday. My first thought walking towards the door was, "damn this place has a butt load of people waiting outside." Translation: " damn I have to wait a long ass time to eat." Fortunately, I was wrong. We were greeted by a nice hostess and were seated at the bar right away. The bar is pretty small compared to SM but I loved how spacious it was as far as food space go. As I looked around, I noticed that they offered more specials, but was disappointed to find out they didn't have toro!(nigiri) But no biggie, there were other great things to choose from.
The Rundown:
Seared salmon/tuna- I love how they put less rice and more fish on these nigiris; fish was fresh, fat, and tasty!
Nigitoro- Honestly, not at all a big fan even though it was toro. The texture of scraped fish meat was too much for me.BUT the guy loved it. And was one of his favorites.
Shrimp shumais- i had a party in my mouth.
Gyoza- "oh yah thats what's up," says the guy
EeL- I had a fiesta in my mouth.
Super white- It really was super(b)
Spicy shrimp yum yum roll- it wasn't as yum yum as it should be. It was lacking a little bit of flavor..BUT it was real spicy and THATs how it should be.
Baked mussels- It was ok, not a big fan of it here.
Green tea creme brûlée- The guy really liked it, it was alright for me.
Tofu cheesecake- for a TOFU cheesecake, it wasn't bad at all. Good job to whoever thought of creating this.
Service- Uh I should've left more than the 21 percent because damn they're good. Hiro was real friendly and attentive.
So why the star deduction? Actually I gave them 4.5 . Minus half a star because one: they didn't have the yellowtail collar and it's one of my favorite dishes. Two: the only hand roll that I really love (shrimp yum yum) was lacking flavor. Three: even though nigitoro is still toro, I still wasn't a big fan of it. I was really looking forward to eating toro and was a wee disappointed that they didn't have it.
In the end, everyone was happy. Hiro(sushi chef) became our hero and once again, satisfaction kicked in. I'm also delighted to know that they don't limit the orders on the specials. Definitely will be coming back in the near future. Actually, already have plans to come in with some peeps this weekend. Oh yah!
