| - I'm sad for 3 reasons.
1. Sushi Wa is a far drive from my residency and from work. But because my friends raved about this place, I really wanted to take the time and drive to try it.
2. My favorite kind of sushi which is the simple Salmon Sake Nigiri was laid on top of a super huge portion of rice and more importantly, the fish was NOT fresh. HUGE disappointment!
3. My favorite roll which is the spicy tuna over crispy fried rice here was bland! The fish looked like it has been out for days and they don't use fresh jalapeno? Makes no sense. I was a bit disgusted.
I also had their Yellowtail Nigiri; also not fresh. I tried their garlic edamame; no taste and not even a hint of garlic. When you say there is going to be garlic in a dish, I better taste it. It's as if they like they completey forgot the ingredient and it's in the freakin' name. Boo! Then, I had their Ultimate Garlic Tuna Roll...and THUN THUN THUN.....again, no taste of any garlic. The roll even sits on a bowl of soup that only makes it even worse because the soup base doesn't taste like anything but yuck. I couldn't believe my dismay!
The one star goes to one appetizer: Fried Oysters, and one roll: Volcano roll. The volcano roll was a little too much on the saucy side that if I had to finish it myself, I would feel guilty for my because of all the mayo clogging up my heart valves. But because it had sauce, it was the only roll that had any flavor.
This was a huge disappointment. Not only the taste, but the fish wasn't fresh. Fresh comes first!
The wait staff though was really nice, and the place is decorated nicely; kind of too fancy though. Also, they over do the food presentation. They need to work on the food taste rather than the presentation. Just because something looks good, does not mean it tastes good.
I'll end on a positive note though. They do have coffee mochi for dessert. Not many AYCE sushi places have this mochi flavor.
If my friends convince me to go back to try their orders, I don't know. Because the fish might still be from today.
