| - Came here the other day because of the $14 for $28 groupon. Have been to many of the revolving sushi places and this one was set up like most of them (some tables connected to the revolving sushi bar as well as single chairs). The one thing that was slightly different was there was a menu you could order from that had things not on the revolving sushi bar (teriyaki plates and udon noodle bowls). Since it was cold out, we decided to order two bowls of udon (kitsume and shrimp tempura for $7). They were both good size and had plenty of noodles, vegetables, and fish cakes. That was pretty much the highlight of the meal. At similar places we have been to, you usually get four pieces of sushi per plate but this place only gave you three. They did a good job of describing what was in each roll but many of the rolls claimed to have "snow crabmeat". I have rolled sushi for a living before using real snow crab and this stuff looks like the imitation "krab" that most other places serve. I could be wrong (maybe its a really low quality snow crab?) but if it looks and quacks like a duck...
Service was also mediocre at best. We asked our server what was in the kitsume udon and she didn't know (tofu, fish cake, and vegetables). Then, as our pile of lids built up with edamame shells and trash, she didn't bother to clear it even after the lid tower fell down. Luckily, another server came and cleaned up the table and finished serving us. As we left, we walked right past the host and another server and neither said a word.
Needless to say, this was our first and last visit. If I get the urge to go to a revolving sushi place, I'll go to Teharu in Chandler.
