| - With all the great press, we came with high expectations. Love the decor, staff was friendly enough, but the food was well...
- Cucumber salad- was beautiful, but awkward to eat with large, irregularly shaped chunks. The miso dressing was tasty when you got some, but overall the dish tasted flat. Maybe cut the cukes smaller and marinate a bit longer?
- Edamame- good size bowl, nice and steamy, but a bit too much salt even more me (and that's saying somethin')
- Avocado stuffed with crab- this seems to be the darling of food critics, but I just didn't dig it. Lovely presentation, but the crab in the middle tasted more like tuna. I avoided the mango (allergy), but B said it was too sweet; better with a dip in soy.
- Loli roll- sans rice and nori was fresh tasty, but ours didn't look like the lollipops I saw on earlier Yelp pics.
- King of Persia- this was the best of the three we tried, loved the tempura green onion
- Citrus salmon- had potential, but it had a fishy taste that is never good when eating sushi
- Octopus- this was amazing!! One of the best octo-dishes I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, served over a yummy squash puree. If everything we ordered tasted this good, I'd be 5 star-ing.
Would return for the octopus, and to try a few more of their small plates and salad, but not a sushi destination.
