Sushi-ko is within walking distance of my house. Ideally, I could take my dogs on a walk, stop by Starbucks, and then swing into Sushi-ko for an occasional Japanese lunch. Except that the food is mediocre.
I've eaten at Sushi-ko twice. Both times the service was great. The first time I had what was supposed to be Yaki Noodles with Chicken. They served me LO MEIN with Chicken. Uh, okay. It was slightly greasy and I ate about a third of it before passing on the rest.
The second time I was going to a little get-together and decided to surprise everyone with Chirashi, (an arrangement on a rice bowl using various cuts of sushi.) I phoned in for pick-up and gave them the benefit of the doubt that maybe the sushi bar is great and the kitchen is just so-so. After paying a bit more than I wanted, I opened up the Chirashi box and it was TINY and uninspiring. One piece of octopus? Two pieces of Tuna? Really?
I really wanted to like this place, considering the walking proximity they were to me. But with two sub-par experiences, I'll reserve my sushi cravings for Hokkaido or Ichiza.
