| - I've been here a trillion times, but I picked up to-go here for the first time, so I figured I can write a full-fledged review on the joint.
This is honestly just okay sushi. I don't feel like I'm going to get sick eating here by any means, but it's not my favorite sushi place, even in the biltmore area - especially since they opened Stingray sushi down the road and there's Moto sushi not too far away.
The best part about this place is the patio. It's pretty awesome, especially for happy hour (read the other reviews, it's a pretty stellar place for HH) with friends or a date. Their prices are reasonable as well. Seriously, go for happy hour, but normal dinner I'm only half sold on.
I do like the little bar area in the back, with TVs and intimate little tables great for dates, but there is SOMETHING about the inside - it ALWAYS smells like bleach! I have no idea why, but I just don't want that smell when I'm eating raw fish. That smell kills me every time.
Again, the food is just so-so. Not the best, but not the worst. They've got a really varied menu for those that don't want sushi, so that's nice.
I've asked the owner to supply #glutenfree soy sauce (tamari), but I have yet to see it be available, so I just bring my own. They make it SUPER easy to sub out king crab in their rolls as well - thank you!
Take-out was fine, but I wish that they would box up their awesome cucumber salad (sunomono?) that they offer complimentary when you dine-in. I also ordered nigiri, but got sashimi instead...but I didn't check before I left...oh well.
