| - I tried this local sushi restaurant for the first time: it will be the last. Neither the timeliness of the delivery or the politeness of the delivery man could compensate for the fact that, overall, the sushi meal was disappointing, which is the reason I am giving this location only two stars, and likely no repeat business.
The size of the Ikura sushi was the smallest I have ever tried, ditto for the Uni and the Smelt Roe. The portions were skimpy, poorly rolled, with my Ikura rolls becoming dismantled and falling apart, eggs akimbo. I had asked that the Uni order be packed separately from the main meal (since my boyfriend is allergic), and, when the order arrived, the Uni was flat on its side, separated from the rice, and looking very slap-dash. The Salmon & Avocado roll we ordered was passable, but not especially fresh tasting, partly because the rice was quite hard. Thinly sliced bits of wilted cucumber were nestled in my messy Ikura sushi, as well as in my Uni: the sad sliver of vegetation looked more like a hasty afterthought.
Skimpy portions, poor presentation, and the lackluster fish quality make it very easy to justify eating elsewhere. When the food you are eating, especially sushi, looks like it was prepared by a chef having a bad day, it doesn't set the stage for becoming a regular customer.
My vote: Passable. Just barely.
