I don't get the hype, this is not good sushi. The decor is nice and the staff pleasant, but their sushi sucks. We went on a Friday night so the place should have been on their A-game.
Gyoza: these were the highlight of the meal. Fried on one side steamed on the other, and the dumpling sauce was great.
Tuna Poke: where's the sesame oil? And the pieces were mush, like they were left over cuts. I dipped it in the leftover dumpling sauce for flavor.
Sushi & Rolls: tuna belly is normally the highlight of a sushi dinner out and we got excited when the waitress came with the plate and a blow torch in hand. Unfortunately she proceeded to over cook the belly. Further, it did not have the melty quality that it should, and the rice below fell apart in our fingers. That was actually a theme of the dishes we had: crap sushi rice. I mean, seriously, Whole Foods makes better sushi rice than this place. Tastier rolls too. We got a double salmon roll that actually had a fishy taste. And the yellowtail was chewy and stringy. Tuna avocado was surrounded by an overly thick layer of flavorless and crumbly rice. Ick.
We left extremely disappointed.
