| - The concept of this place really appealed to me. A sushi place where you can custom make your own rolls to exactly how you want it...what?!?!? Thinking that my dreams of sushi creativity have come true I was very underwhelmed by my experience a couple of months ago.
Walking into the establishment, it was okay. There were quite a few tables that needed to be bused and the smell of the restaurant reminded me of like a hole in the wall Asian food market. Not typically the best smell to entice an appetite but I kept an open mind. The menu seemed clean and precise, just exactly what you would expect a restaurant where you can make custom sushi would be..here are the ingredients, mix and please as you wish. So I did...
They pulled the rice out of the container. It had already been placed with the nori and I was instantly hesitant on my order. Just looking at the rice from behind the sneeze guard, the grains of rice looked like one cohesive blob of rice. That's one thing I hate in supposedly "fresh" sushi places is mushy rice! I continued my order...got the salmon with green onion, avocado and cucumber. Those ingredients looked fresh so that was a plus. The fish was decently fresh but not anything to rave about.
Here is the part that got me thinking a little more skeptically about this place. My boyfriend ordered a chicken roll and ordered ahead of me. Upon time to actually roll the sushi, she added the "raw" salmon to my roll and then with the same gloves added the cooked chicken to his roll before having the roll's rolled. Maybe I am one of "those" people, but I would prefer not to have raw fish on my cooked chicken roll especially if they are two separate rolls. Just imagine that the person wasn't my boyfriend who order in front of me or if that same person was allergic to fish...
The staff seemed okay...somewhat helpful but the lady who served us almost seemed annoyed that it was our first time. I also didn't care for the chopsticks. Splintered wood is not good for any dinning experience, but I did like that you can get your own soy sauce and amount of wasabi.
All in all, my food was kinda bland, even with the extra flavoring sauces and the rice was, as I mentioned above, mushy and chewy. Not a great experience and probably won't be going back or recommending this place either. If I want sushi like this again, I'll just go to my local grocery store and pick up the pre-made sushi that basically has the same consistency, and taste.
