| - We aren't what you call "experimental" sushi eaters. We like to play it safe with the most generic type of sushi there is. So perhaps I am the wrong person to review a Sushi place. However, I do know good food and freshness when I eat it.
Sushi California is about a 5-7 minute drive from us, so coming to this establishment is almost convenient more than anything.
Staff: Most of the staff barely speak English so it's extremely difficult to communicate with them as some just don't understand what you are saying to them. In addition, the service can be extremely slow. Some of the girls are stomping around rushing to attend to everyone. They look frantic and almost confused. Hasn't management or someone caught on yet? 2 girls cannot run a full house, plus take out, plus the cash? The waitresses will get you what you want but it's one of those "you have to ask for everything" type of deal.
Booths: Require some dusting. I was looking over at my wonderful partner only to see a clump of dust waving around at the top of the booth's wall about 6 feet above his head. Thankfully they have high ceilings but someone really needs to stand up on those booths after closing and take a Swiffer duster to those bad boys. The Portuguese in me almost took on the task myself.
Food: For the most part, DELICIOUS. This is the reason as to why I keep coming back. The sushi that we order is always fresh and delicious. Again, we don't venture off to exotic sushi types, so I cannot comment on that kind of stuff nor can I discuss anything raw fish related. The bento boxes (specifically the chicken and beef) are VERY good. The chicken is cooked perfectly so it is still most yet has a nice golden sear. The sauce and bean sprout mix they include with it is also very tasty and adds some moisture to the chicken. The salad has a sweet dressing that compliments the garden mix perfectly. They also include a perfect amount of tempura vegetables (1 mushroom, 1 broccoli), 2 deep fried veggie dumplings and a nice chunk of fresh sticky rice. Writing all this out actually has me craving the Bento Box now!
This alone is good enough for a lunch time meal. We have also ordered the shrimp tempura (a favourite that we constantly get), deep fried California rolls (beware- VERY BIG lol) and just recently we got their veggie spring rolls- small but a great app size).
Previously we've had Bulgogi donburi, which was a huge portion, beef was cooked perfectly and the whole dish was extremely flavourful.
The only thing that was a MISS is the chicken karage. I don't know what the hell that was, but it sure as hell didn't taste like "chicken". They should rename this item to deep fried over seasoned batter. It was god awful and nightmare worthy.
It's not a bad place to go for some cheap inexpensive sushi and co. What keeps me coming back are those delicious bento boxes that are packed with a variety of options.
OOOOH! They also have this delicious deep fried ice cream deliciousness on a stick that I'd willing devour a plate full if possible. They used to give a small sample as a "thank you" if your bill was over a certain amount. I guess they got cheap and stopped doing that but you can still order it as a dessert, however, I think it only comes in variations of 5-6. Regardless, if you have room for dessert, GET IT.
