| - Kay-ze or Ka-zeh, there is no confusion here.
My sister and I went on a sibling date to try this somewhat newly opened sushi restaurant. I had read and heard some mixed reviews but I figured I'd check it out for myself since... well, who can turn down 1/2 off on rolls and nigiri sushi?!
We first walked in and was greeted by a man who looked as though he was the owner or the manager. Either way, he was extremely friendly and super duper nice. It was extremely cold in the restaurant so if you get cold easily like me, you might want to bring a hefty jacket--good thing I brought a cardigan just in case.
The servers were definitely not as nice as the owner/manager but they were attentive enough, especially for a busy night like tonight so no complaints there.
To be honest about the food, I'd give mixed reviews:
Yellow tail carpaccio- Oh my, the yellow tail was THICK and went well with the fried onions. It was a good mix of crunch and silky smooth fish. Yum!
Garlic calamari- This was fried well and there sure was more than enough for two people but it wasn't served with a sauce so I thought it was kinda lackluster. And I don't know if I'd include the "garlic" with its name since I didn't really get a noticeable garlic flavor.
Sunkissed roll- This roll was... alright. I don't really recall what was on it besides the mayo sauce because I remember dipping my garlic calamari in it. This roll was pretty bland and definitely not what I expected.
Cinderella roll- This was my favorite roll of the night. It has yummy salmon and shrimp on top with some cream cheese in the middle. I usually don't like rolls with cream cheese because lots of places like to put LOTS of cream cheese for the relatively small size of the rolls but they really hit it on point.
Snow White roll- I don't remember what type of fish it was but I remember it to be very yummy :) It is served with ponzu sauce which I don't really like because it's often too sour but I surprising enjoyed this roll more than I thought I would.
Spicy Tuna roll- I don't know if I'd say that it was the best tasting spicy tuna roll but I must say that it was extremely tuna-centered and was covered by a thin layer of rice.
This is where it gets good- nigiri sushi of yellow tail, salmon, and uni. I'D TOTALLY GO BACK JUST FOR THESE BABIES. The rice is in a tiny ball underneath a thick, mouthwatering slice of fish. I have never had nigiri like this, with a fabulous portion of fish and a small portion of rice so I don't have to fill my stomach with unnecessary ingredients.
Overall, I'd definitely go back to have more of that delicious nigiri and perhaps to try the numerous other rolls they have to offer.
