I was on my way home thinking what quick lunch can I grab to go? Yelp found me Wow! Sushi just down the street.
Quite a small store but it was nice and clean. The owners were extremely friendly from the second I stepped in. One pulled out a chair for me at the bar and brought me a cup of tea right away. And something I really appreciated was the guy saying "excellent choice!" when I ordered the Chirashi sushi. It's so simple yet I find most servers forget that a small confirmatory statement can go a long way.
As soon as I ordered the Chirashi, I started mulling over my choice in my head. I was worried about the quality and experience of the meal once it touched a hideous styrofoam box. To my huge surprise, I got home to find a beautifully presented Chirashi sushi in a plastic take-away box! They really were ahead of me there. Huge ups.
The choice of sushi samples were great with even a few seared pieces. I must point out the sashimi cuts were small and the overall portion was adequate for lunch, def not enough for dinner. I wonder, though, will they upkeep their impressive presentations when they become swamped during a meal time? And if that declines, how much will my overall enjoyment decline?
Anyway, I'd definitely give it another go at Wow Sushi - sitting in this time. Just to clarify though, take it as an Asian lesson... the owners are NOT Japanese - they are two experienced Chinese sushi chefs. All my authentic sushi shit aside, I approve of what they are starting right hurr.
