We popped in one night, immediately greeted-immediately seated. I didn't catch any weird vibes...good sign. Though, the restaurant did give me a diner feel rather than your conventional feel when eating sushi.
This was the first time I felt so disgusted eating sushi. I've had better sushi at a grocery store. I ALWAYS order spicy tuna, salmon skin, and a Philly roll to start because it helps me gauge the spot...but also because those are my typical go-to if all else fails. Super basic.
My rice was soooooo frickin mushy and overly wet. My salmon skin was chewy. The spicy tuna was bland...bland plus mushy wet rice...no bueno. My husband went nigiri happy, and honestly...as long as he is eating nigiri he could careless. So he doesn't count. What also appalled me was the amount of shine his nigiri had. Sorry, I know some places brush their fish with oil, spray it with some sheen...make it look shiny...but I don't like that let alone like seeing that happen. If that's not what was happening, then wth was that being sprayed like we are in the 80s battling for the poofious hair. We opted for ayce and I couldn't make round 2.
Should I have said something? Sure! But most times I have this philosophy if I have to tell someone how to do what they hell they've been doing...speaks volume and I shouldn't have to go do that. Service was all right...our waiter had personality so not much complaints there.
We did go back another time and though my first visit was a little different than the second...i still thought the food was a tad mediocre and not somewhere I'd do ayce again nor would I recommend it especially to a person who has a go-to ayce.
I'm only giving it 2 stars because the staff was friendly, and I feel bad I'm even rating this so low...but it's my personal experience. I wouldn't recommend them based on my experience as you can tell others have had a better experience...so feel free to give them a shot for your own experience. And if you care...they do have fresh wasabi on their menu.
Definitely stroller friendly!
