| - As I was singing along to Shy Boy by Secret, I kind of found myself in a bit of a surprised state, am I eating at a Korean Restaurant or a Sushi joint? There really isn't much to say about this place, but I'll state the Pros and Cons of my first experience here at Sushi Kaya.
Pros:
-AYCE for $19.99. So decently priced
-We were seated immediately upon entering and our orders were taken.
-The place is clean, roomy and open late. I believe till 3a.
-Karaoke available here!
-The rice used on the sushi is really A+, not too sticky or vinegary.
-Minimal use of yum yum/teriyaki sauces (a con if you like the sauces)
-A lot of avocado used in the rolls (Loooove Avocado)
-Soju is served here!!!!
-Appetizers here are Japanese and Korean combination. Few of my favorites being the Kim Chi fried rice, Dukkbokki (good flavor, but the rice cakes seems quickly pan fried so it had sort of a crunch on the outside) and the no rice roll, which was a ball of spicy tuna with shrimp tempura in the middle and topped with avocado.
-the only ROLL that was Great is the Kaya Roll.
Cons:
-Nigiri sushi selections were pretty good. It's hit or miss with the quality of the fish. Some orders were really good, and some other (same) orders later seemed kinda off.
-They were taking your orders frequently, but it seemed more often than the food ever came out. We would wait for our food, but instead of steady plates coming out, they'd bring it out all at once.
-for the Rolls, there was a lot of cream cheese and avocado selections. it seemed like almost all the rolls had either cream cheese or avocado or both. there wasn't much variety for the rolls.
-for the skewers, you were only allowed one each person or something like that, so we were only allowed to have one type of skewer each. :(( The beef tongue skewer was sort of flavorless anyways.
-Parking is really hard to find. A small parking area.
All in all, it wasn't totally bad, but it wasn't impressive either. I'd come back here again, but it wouldn't be my first, second or third choice. I'm still on a sushi hunt!!!
Sayonara or Annyeong Haseyo!
