| - It is with some regret that I write this review. This is my 5th visit to 808 Sushi. In my previous trips, I had good experiences. If this was my first time here, it would be my last.
First, they were out of hamachi kama, which was forgivable, but still disappointing. For the first half of this visit, the sushi chef seemed to ignore us. After that he was more attentive. Unfortunately, his skills, if you call them that, were not up to par. The rolls were cut inconsistently with some pieces so small they would fall apart. Other pieces were so large, they could not be eaten in one bite. I ordered one baked roll. He forgot it in the oven. Mistakes happen, just don't serve your mistakes to me. It was burnt to the point of being not edible. Even the server commented on it being burnt. One of the guys was pushing oyster shooters because they made too many. Fine, I decided to have a couple. Not too bad, except for the piece of styrofoam I got with it.
This visit wasn't a total flop. The miso black cod is great. The bonsai special is always a good was to end the meal.
I will return only because everyone is entitled to a bad day and I have had good meals here in the past.
