I am sad to report this restaurant may have been good at one time but I went there tonight and it was not good at all. I went in around 8:00 pm and they only had 5 people at the bar with 2 sushi chefs and 1 server. they had all this open table but the server only gave me the smallest table they could find since i was only 1 person. it was my first time there so i did not know if the service would be fast or slow? so I ordered as much as i could at that particular time..
First I started with the apps which was:
fried oysters which was too much panko and the oyster its self was small so all I could taste was the breading and not the oyster.
Poki Salad: I thought it tasted like salsa and not poki.. but then again Poke means cubed in hawaiian so I let that go. I did however think that they did skimp on the tuna coz I couldn't even taste any tuna in there.
for sushi I ordered:
Tuna - it was the frozen kind
Yellow tail which was good since they served me the belly part.
Salmon - It was good
Red Snapper - It wasn't snapper. It was Talapia. I asked the server if it was Snapper or Talapia and he told me that it was snapper. so I ordered it. then came out Talapia.
Unagi (Eel) - it was bad to the point that it was spoiled. I put it in my mouth and then I spit it out. I told the server that it was spoiled and all he said was " so you didn't like it". No one even came to me to appologize.
Octopus - Chewy and warm
Squid - good but not great
Tamago - sold out which says that the chefs are lazy at that restaurant. since egg is the cheapest and one of the more important netta at a sushi bar since that determines the quality of the restaurant.
Tekka maki - no flavor.
Natto - warm and no taste.
the one bright spot for the meal was the sushi rice was made very good. not too mushy and not too hard. Since the rice is the most important ingredient to sushi. because Sushi means " Vinegared Rice".
I'm sorry but I do not think I will be back to this restaurant every again. Also I only spoke english in there but I also speak Japanese and I could over hear the conversation that the chef and server was saying and I can hear that they were bad mouthing me.. So I would say becareful what you say cause someone might know what they are saying..hehe
