| - Overall, this is a decent place for inexpensive Japanese food, but you'll have to endure questionable service and a landmine of unsavory rolls on the menu on your way to a satisfying dinner. Also, show up early. If you wanna eat at 9, be there before 8. It gets PACKED. They close at 10.
I arrived around 8:30 and was understandably told to wait. At about 9 I was seated, and we ordered appetizers. The entire time, I was gawking at the menu like "OMG I can order like 3 different things this is so cheap". I ordered the terriyaki chicken as an app. It was freaking delicious, and came out in less than 10 minutes. My dining companion and I ordered 3 rolls between us. They are, on average, about $7 each for some decent stuff.
Only problem is that it took a bit over half an hour to arrive! WTF?
The hana roll was beautiful and tasty, with the multiple varieties of fish. Unfortunately, they fell apart rather easily, even for something so large it was cumbersome to enjoy with chopsticks. I still approve. The tootsie roll was not exactly what I was expecting. Didn't realize that all the contents would be cooked, and thought it was weird that there were tempura batter bits mixed throughout the rice. As for the tropicana roll, mango and salmon sounded lovely, but I didn't realize there would be excessive globs of mayonnaise on top of it.
I feel as though the menu does not accurately describe what you're signing up for, and that can result in disappointment.
In the end, I barely had time to take a couple of bites before a server dropped off a check. They were adamant about getting us out ASAP despite being patient with them. It's hard to knock a sushi place that's offering such great deals, but it really pushes my limits of how much questionable service I can put up with before I ding you. I really want to drop this to a 3, but I just can't. You were too easy on my wallet.
