| - I'm really not much of a Sushi person. But I have had some OK experiences here in the company of true Sushi lovers.
The staples: Nice atmosphere, exceptional service and concern for your RA experience, Mid-range tasty food.
Like I said, sushi is not my Forte (or my Fiddy), so imma stay in my lane. And, ya know, Darcie doesn't even like seafood... I know, but I love her. So what do we get?
Spicy Shrimp Soup and/or Miso Soup. Both are pretty tasty. RA, however, is very fast and loose with the word spicy (read on).
Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Udon. It's ok, though nothing like you could get in Seattle where there's a Yaki joint on every corner and the competition leads to explosively awesome flavor. Yeah, it's not that. But it's pretty good for the non-Sushi goer. The thing to be aware of with this dish is the Spicy declaration is pure BS. The dish itself is far from spicy, like vanilla-ice-cream-far. The spicy component is actually a decoration on the edge of the bowl lip. If you actually want spicy you have to tell them to make their "spicy" dish SPICY. Ridiculous, and makes me want to pay my bill in Monopoly Money in protest to the false advertising. BUT! Now I know. And now you know. I still think it's stupid and it pisses me off to even think about it.
HOWEVER! When I say there is "exceptional service and concern for your RA experience", it's over this Ain't-spicy situation. I spoke to the manager about my very non-spicy "Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Udon". He explained their design of the dish with its artful perimeter sinusoidal fancification of my bowl lip with "spicy" sauce. Sigh. I countered with: "that Sine wave of red stuff ain't spicy either, and the whole Kit & Caboodle is a misrepresentation of the signature description of the dish." I could see he'd been through this customer frustration before. Dude's not evil. He didn't design the menu. He offered to take the order off my bill. And he advised me how to order it in the future to suit my preference and get the desired result from the kitchen. I appreciated his approach to my concerns and waived off his offer to pay for the dish. I count the whole experience as a positive outcome. I wish I could remember the manager's name. Dude knows customer service. We liked him.
I also get Crunchy Shrimp Tempura Roll. That's actual quite tasty.
End of story.
Oh, if you have even been seated on the RA patio and an Explorer or Camry has rolled very slowly by with the driver yelling, "RrrrrrrrRAAAAAAH!" at the top of his lungs... Yeah, that's me. Usually with my daughter following club basketball practice. Been doing it at least 5 years. Is it mature? Of course not. Does it give me joy? Hell yeah. Will I stop? Of course not. But the frequency has slowed as my daughter is off in college. But spring break is comin' baby and Imma tunin' up my voice for a truly prodigeous "RrrrrrrrRAAAAAAH!" Think I might add some additional r's, R's, and an extra H or three.
