| - Went there last night with my guy pal, armed with a Deal Chicken. The place was packed and lots of fun energy abounds. I ordered the salmon roe sushi and salmon roll. He ordered teriyaki salmon with veggies and white rice. The teriyaki sauce is good. I'm glad to report it doesn't taste like that whatever that awful stuff is that comes out of a bottle like another Japanese restaurant I've been to, which happens to be trendy and expensive.
He isn't JA and likes his fish cooked. Alas, it was cooked on the outside, but not on the inside. YIKES! We called over the server, Rachael, and she was most apologetic and asked if he wanted to have the same fish cooked more or a complete new meal. My guy said, "Whatever is easier." (He surely didn't want to upset the chef!) Well, they brought out a complete new dinner. Nice! Unfortunately, this time it was a little bit too cooked, which could be that the chef wanted to make sure it was cooked, which my guy appreciated.
Back to my sushi, the salmon roe smelled and tasted a bit too fishy. Those who know what salmon roe tastes like know what I mean. Yes, it is fish eggs and it is supposed to be fishy, but it's like fish that is heading towards the end of its edible life. The salmon roll was good. I'm not real big on those type of rolls. Me, I like the seafood plain and plopped on a bite-size bit of rice and wrapped in nori. That's my way of eating sushi.
To make up for the teriyaki and its uncooked condition, the restaurant was kind enough to give us pears with ice cream and whipped cream, topped with a flavorful sauce. YUMMMM!! That was fabulously wonderful. I'm glad I didn't order a lot to eat!
Getting back to our server, Rachel -- Notice I spelled it two different ways since I don't know how she spells her name? -- she was very professional and friendly When I go back, I hope she is our server again. She's extremely gracious.
I would go back. The next time I go, though, I would try the tuna sushi -- no not the rolls; remember, that's not my favorite way of eating sushi -- try the salmon roe sushi again, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
