| - Stopped in on a whim when an emergency sushi craving hit me after a meeting in Independence. I used Yelp--of course--to track down the nearest, non-crappy sushi restaurant and it turns out it was right across the street. Well, alrighty then!
Hidden in the corner of a stripmall, the outside didn't look promising, but the inside was clean and very nice. I ordered sushi take out and did not try any hibachi, so please keep that in mind.
With that being said, the sushi was pretty good! Not my favorite by any means, but I stuck with a safer order for my first time here. They didn't disappoint. The spicy tuna rolls featured very large hunks of tender tuna with a light, very spicy mayo inside. It was much better than the other spicy tuna rolls I've had that hack up the meat of the tuna into a mayo... If it's more like a blend, I'm not down. These had big hunks of fresh tuna which made me very happy. I also ordered one California Roll just to see how they did with one of the simplest rolls. This one I wasn't a fan of--but I think it was just because the spicy tuna was so.much.better. The seaweed on both rolls blended with all the flavors and wasn't chewy. The rice seemed just fine. I will admit, I don't really know the difference between a lot of different rices. I can tell if it's sticky vs. jasmine vs. brown vs. white rice --but that's about it. This seemed pretty fresh and was sticky enough to hold the rolls together even after dunking in wasabi-laden soy sauce.
The wait was about 10 minutes for 3 rolls--so I know they were making them fresh. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but in a pinch--they definitely cured my sushi craving.
