| - I've been here a couple times. Both times the service has been fantastic, they're really on top of that but I wasn't impressed with the fish. Maybe it was because both days I went were on Mondays. I've heard that Mondays and sometimes Sundays aren't the prime days to eat sushi due to when they get their shipments in. That's the only thing I can think of. Both times we had sushi that tasted well...fishy.
We ordered a few appetizers, the yellow tail cheek, baked mussels, and baked clams. The yellow tail cheek I've never had before so I have nothing to compare it to but it was a little crispy and burnt on the outside and I didn't much care for it. You had to dig through all the bones to get just a few little scraps of fish. The sauce they served with it was good though.
The spicy baked mussels and clams were in a mayo sauce that was okay but not fantastic. Normally my favorite part of these dishes is the sauce, but the mayo didn't seem thick enough and both came out soupy and lacking flavor. They were just mediocre.
We ordered the tuna tataki & albacore tataki. I thought the tuna tataki tasted very fishy and so did one of my dining partners. Our other dining partner thought it was okay though and ate our portions. The albacore tataki was seared quite a bit on the outside, giving it a rubbery texture that made it not taste right. I didn't care for either.
We ordered a lot- various nigiri, spicy scallop roll, spicy tuna roll, Houston roll (salmon, onion, cucumber), jazz roll, Arizona roll, rainbow roll, and I'm sure others. I thought the spicy scallop and Houston roll were the best but nothing was out-of-this-world. I just wasn't impressed either time we went there. 2.5 stars for the food, 5 stars for the service.
