| - my experiences here in the past have been pretty underwhelming, if I am being honest. I believe that going here for dinner is a different experience than going here for lunch. I had only been here for lunch. And while I've never had a BAD experience here, I've never felt particularly enthused to go.
My opinion on Sushi Kui has shifted from what I'd consider 3 stars to a now very generous 4 stars. I went here for a work christmas party, and the food and service was not what I'm accustomed to from this place. By which I mean it was far better.
We were a large group so I have nothing but respect for service staff that have to deal with any party larger than four. They remained patient, polite, and friendly throughout the evening - not the nonchalant service I'm used to here (again not BAD just not great).
The food was fantastic. There were a few people from our party that were having sushi for the first time, and I'm glad the quality was where it was at that evening, so that they had a good first impression. They also gave us a few starters on the house for us to nosh on before our orders arrived. A really nice touch that I'm sure is only reserved for large parties, but still greatly appreciated nonetheless!
I know that sushi pizza is nowhere near authentic and is a product of refining cuisine for different pallets, but I just really love it. And the one I had that evening was as good as any I've tried.
I have a feeling that they take more care in the evening, and that more things are cut/fried/made to order. If I have dinner here again that was as good as this recent experience, then I'll feel that the 4 stars is deserved and not me being generous. We shall see!
