| - In my quest to find the best sushi spot in Chambana, I decided to follow the high reviews Yellowfin has here. Perhaps my expectations going in were consequently too high, but I was a bit underwhelmed. I'll chock it up to bad luck, and probably head back to try again soon.
We got there before the Saturday night rush and got a lot more attention from the wait staff than I assume you'd get at prime time. The waitress was very sweet and patient as we picked through their menu.
We ordered the sushi appetizer which was a basic assortment of nigiri sushi, cucumber maki, and ahi maki. My dinner partner is not a fan of spice and we immediately noticed that the chef was spreading wasabi on every piece. I didn't mind it as much, but it really had a bad effect on them.
We soldiered on and ordered a diverse combination of rolls. We tried a Philly roll, scallop nigiri, an avocado and eel roll, a Spider, and a few basic fish rolls. Overall it was passable sushi, but nothing to write home about. The amount of wasabi that permeated the night ended up overpowering a lot of the base flavors I crave. Also, I'm guessing we were getting the leftover stock from lunchtime. By the time we paid the place was filling up so maybe next time a wait will yield better food.
Ultimately, it is worth a shot. I'm willing to head back, but I hope our experience was an anomaly.
