| - Grand opening this Monday.!
About a 30min wait for dinner left much anticipation for yet another AYCE sushi option in Chinatown, this one armed with an intricate conveyor belt line and awesome robotic server tray that delivers, direct to you, the best options in the house!
Speaking of, order these items here for an enjoyable meal :
Toro / Fatty Tuna. Look at that marbling...delicious!! If butter was a fish, it would taste like this ;)
Salt & Peppered Giant Prawns : Garlic, Green Onion & Serrano Peppers. VERY good, large prawns with some nice spice and crunchy texture! Definitely one of the best choices here :)
Fresh Oysters. Surprisingly good actually. My two were clean, prepped and ready to enjoy. A bit of additional hot sauce or wasabi would be welcomed.
Melon Bar for dessert. Order the melon bar...it's awesome! Creamy, sweet and so artificially flavored yet enjoyable lol. I am looking to buy a box next time I am in the right store! The Red Bean Cake was good, but trust in the melon bar...yum!
The conveyor belt itself loses its mesmerizing effect shortly into dinner however, as you clearly see the lack of variety and a bit boring set of "safe" choices made by the staff to pacify the hungry mob.
No sushi was dressed with any soy, wasabi, yuzu, ponzu or the like. I can imagine the less adventurous eaters taking a dislike to the aforementioned, but it handicaps the sushi from being elevated. Also, inconsistent fish cuts are found throughout, most likely due to less experienced sushi chefs. Most cuts were good, but some textures were very unappealing...something I haven't experienced in quite some time.
And lastly, the crab was a bit disappointing. Good flavor in the crab, but the temperature is luke warm and the meat is overcooked. Most likely cooked once and then reheated at order. Still not a bad way to spend $6, just not the best reason to visit. I also found it a chore to eat along with sushi...had to clean my hands multiple times during the meal.
Have fun!
