| - Stopped by for lunch take out while passing through the area. I think this is actually the first time I've had (restaurant) sushi in Pittsburgh... a bad first choice.
I barely ate half my food - lunch special, fairly priced for the variety at $8.50, and an order of hamachi (2 pc).
-the hamachi, bad quality fish. stringy texture and chewy instead of melty... i'm starting to think I had better at the buffets in town, and not well assembled/pressed
-sushi rice both in my lunch roll and my nigiri had that awful moldy smell from sitting in an enclosed and moist container for too long. Regular rice with my lunch was fine, so maybe it was the rice vinegar sitting with the rice that produced the awful smell :/
-brown avocado in my half-roll with the lunch special. Like, not just oxidized on the surface, but completely brown throughout
-miso soup was SWEET
-yakitori - 2 skewers of chicken breast cubes. DRY. and the surface of the cubes was all chewy and old.
-salad with ginger dressing tasted very refreshing, but the consistency of the dressing was practically water.
Basically... all misses. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt on the first try, but the old sushi rice and avocado, served to customers... just plain bad quality fish. UGH.
I was greeted by friendly and informative staff. Unfortunately, after that they shouted loudly either on the phone or in the kitchen, in Chinese the entire time, or taking personal phone calls and talked loudly across the restaurant in front of me as if I weren't there.
For the past 10 years, I'd driven past sushi 3 countless times. Gonna keep doing that from now on. Never coming back here again.
