| - Giving two stars for the good service, but the selection/food here sucked.
I'm from Los Angeles, and we rarely have ayce sushi out there. There's one spot that's really good, and it's called Midori Sushi, pricey, but the quality of their food makes it worth the money (about $30 per person). It was actually really surprising to see so many ayce sushi spots here. Other than Midori, out in LA, we tend to assume that ayce sushi is subpar. I think that the idea that sushi is being produced by the masses is a bit disturbing. I would also like to think that because it's being mass produced, the quality of the sushi isn't that great.
I came with a party of 12 or more, and I had arrived a little later than everyone else did. My party had already started eating, so I only ordered my must have favorite rolls (a spider roll and spicy tuna roll) for myself. I didn't want to order too much, because I knew they had already placed tons of orders.
When my sushi came out, I passed it down because those rolls LOOKED NOTHING LIKE WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. I was so confused. I usually can guess what type of roll the sushi is just by looking at it, but I was just baffled. I even had to ask one of the waiters what type of sushi it was.
If you don't know what a spider roll is, its basically a roll that's deep fried and delicious. The rolls were also tiny, might I add.*** But anyways, the spider roll wasn't even deep fried?? Or if it was, it wasn't done very well. I only tasted a little panko, the tempura wasn't even warm. I was so disappointed. I'm used to the whole roll, not just a piece, being deep fried. It usually takes a while to deep fry it, but it's totally worth the wait because the sushi is piping hot and just awesome. I understand that some places don't deep fry the whole roll, but it was just disappointing that no part of it was warm.
THE SPICY TUNA WAS WHAT GOT ME. Spicy tuna is supposed to be a reddish orange color. The roll that came out was PALE YELLOW. It was hard enough to look at it, let alone eat it. I tried it and it was not fresh at all. I could really taste the difference. I mean, how hard is it make spicy tuna, it's one of the essentials in a sushi restaurant!!
They had a very small selection of rolls as well. I thought they focused too much on appetizers. But this place really isn't a tradition Japanese restaurant AT ALL. It's ran by Chinese people after all. No racism bc I'm chinese as well. But at a sushi restaurant?? You're supposed to be ordering sushi rolls!! There should be a selection!!
I also thought they cut their sashimi into too big of pieces. I had also ordered calamari tempura, and the tempura was HUGE. It looked like a giant onion ring. I couldn't even chew it, they overcooked it and it was just so hard to bite down on.
However, it came with dessert and to end this on a light note, the mango pudding was awesome.
