| - Why 3 stars... lemme explain.
First off, it didn't live up to the hype my friends all raved about. Maybe it was a bad day, but I only have what they gave me to go on.
The waitress was nice as can be, very helpful with the menu and giving recommendations, which I am a huge fan of when I go to a new place. Starting off with 3 stars off the bat. We ordered their specialty martini of the day and it was out of this world yummy! For sure adding another star! The biggest, and probably only reason I would go back. If you like a good martini, fruity ones, new and different ones, or your run'of'the'mill martini, they have you covered.
But, the entire reason for going here was I heard the sushi was beyond amazing, especially for the price. I must say their prices are good, with their all day every day happy hour menu, which I don't really get anyhow, why not just have cheap sushi, call it what it is. Happy hour is 4-7, lets not spoil a good thing and make is all the time. Anyway, I digress. The sushi itself was sub-par. I should take two stars away for this, but I have to remember that martini, so only one. The seaweed was tough, the tuna quality was a bit fatty and hard to eat, and it seemed that all of their "specialty" rolls were made with fake crab. Basically all California rolls with some kinda of twist, like deep fried, or with avo or presented in a pretty bowl with some type of cream sauce on top. I was also told that their rolls were 15+ pieces big, i counted what we got several times and I only saw 8 pieces, so unless someone ate the other 8 on the way out to my table, my friend must have been getting the hook up or something.
It must just be a personal preference, but when I eat sushi, I actually want sushi, as in raw fish, not fake crab and fried and smothered in some type of mayo sauce. Maybe it was an off day for them and this was the reason for my dissatisfaction and everyone else I have talked to loving it. But even still..... consistency is a big thing in running a good sushi place, well any place for the matter.
Thank you for the recommendation friends, but I will only ever be back for the martinis.
