| - I've been putting off writing this review because I can't decide if I like Cowfish or not. After having almost a week to let my thoughts process, I would have to say that although the product is fresh, I wouldn't consider Cowfish a true sushi spot but an Americanized version. I also think overall Cowfish is lost in its trendiness.
The first time we attempted to go was on a Saturday night and showed up to an hour and a half wait. Cowfish doesn't take reservations so we decided not to wait it out. We later showed up on a Weds night and there was still an hour wait. We eventually managed to grab 2 seats at the bar and just made it a night there.
The items we ordered were Blackened tuna nachos, Southpark roll, and the King's Roll. I have to say I really liked the tuna nachos, but they aren't sushi. The King's Roll was the better of the two rolls. I asked if they had miso soup, and sadly, they did not. The wasabi was also the squeeze kind that is never hot enough.
The part I didn't like was it felt much more of a bar scene than a restaurant. When I went to Nikko, I didn't downgrade them for the club atmosphere, because it really didn't interfere with the meal. Definitely not the case here. People were everywhere, especially hanging over me while I ate.
Overall, I think the food was fresh, if not what I would think of as sushi, but the scene will make me think twice before returning.
