| - I was really excited to come here, thinking I'd be in for some good authentic sushi; I was disappointed.
We had the sara for 2, which came with 13 pieces of nigiri, 8 pieces of salmon sashimi, and 4 pieces of whitefish sashimi - all for $24, but I guess you get what you pay for. I was disappointed with the sashimi; the salmon was quite tough and chewy, and the white fish was even worse.
The nigiri comes with a bit of the sharpest horseradish wasabi I've ever had - you feel it go up your nose until your eyes water. It turns out that's a specialty of theirs, so maybe that works for some people, but I definitely did not enjoy that. The wasabi completely overpowers everything. Even though the rice was quite good, all I could focus on was the stinging horseradish paste. Wasabi is not supposed to kick like that.
The rolls were decent, nothing particularly memorable. We ordered the black dragon, the spicy tuna, and the dynamite rolls. Stick to the rolls if you come here. It's a bit misleading that it calls itself a "sushi bar". You're better off going to an AYCE for this quality.
