| - tl;dr THE IMO KOROKKE THOUGH.
Since I left DFW I've been trying to find somewhere to fill the void Sushi Robata left in my soul. Sushi Cafe comes damn close.
The prices are the best I've seen pretty much ever, I think. The menu isn't huge, but it covers the bases. ALSO IMO KOROKKE. It's so hard to find anywhere that does korokke at all, much less somewhere that does them... better than Robata?! The potatoes are so buttery and smooth, and the panko is done well too. The korokke comes with a mysterious orange sauce here, no idea what it's called. It's like a spicy mayo but with a little more heft to it.
I got the crunch shrimp tempura roll and the red dragon roll. My only criticism is that the eel sauce on the red dragon roll was a little heavy handed, but not a big deal at all. It did leak over into my tempura roll, but whatever.
They also have some desserts in a fridge case - matcha cheesecake and castella cake, which is basically a sponge cake. The castella is packaged in two slices of slightly different appearance, and I'm not sure of the difference. There's also some instant ramen bowls available, like Shin Bowl, and the odd matcha Pocky and Hi-Chew sorts of snacks.
Another reviewer mentioned getting ill after having their order delivered. I noticed at the end of my tempura roll, after it had cooled down a bit, that something did taste a little iffy with the room-temperature tempura combined with the eel sauce. If you're getting delivery (and this applies to any sushi place in my opinion), make sure all the sauces are on the side, and don't get anything meant to be eaten piping hot. The korokke might be okay since potatoes hold heat well, but I'd keep the sushi to the cold-only variations.
