| - Very happy with my experience here. Went to try their sushi, ended up ordering the yakigyu and fried rice for our toddler (he only picks at sushi). Tried the Golden Gate roll, Captain, & Dragon no avocado plus cream cheese. They were all part of the special rolls, which offers 3 special rolls for $23.95.
The Dragon was topped with thinly sliced seared eel, just what I prefer. I've had Dragon rolls with large hunks of eel on top in the past, was not a fan. This one was sweet and creamy (cream cheese) with the tempura crunch.
Next was the Captain- cucumber and spicy with sliced albacore and fried onion topping. Seriously good balance of flavors, fresh fish. Added ginger to spice it up, I love a SPICY tuna, just personal preference. ;)
Last was the Golden Gate which was the perfect ending. Shrimp tempura, Cucumber, crab with variety of fresh fish sliced on top and CRUNCH. this was my fave! Very fresh fish. Next time I'm going for the sashimi, the table next to us had the boat of sashimi, nigiri, & rolls...but I like to dip my toes at sushi places with rolls first, to see how quality their product is before diving into sashimi.
Skip the yakigyu, beef skewers...very dry. Could have shot it at our neighbors sushi boat, for a good battle.
One HUGE surprise was their fantastic fried rice. I never would have ordered something like that there...glad we did. It was clean, fresh, flavorful. I haven't had a good fresh fried rice that's not homemade since I don't know when. They all end up tasting like soy sauce greasy onions. Not this one.
Our server was great. She was friendly and had good timing. She took our drink order ASAP, gave us time to look, checked in, we needed more time, she happily obliged, checked in when we were ready, filled our waters and kept the sake flowing. All with an authentic smile and calmness even when they got busy. Really couldn't ask for more there.
One disclaimer- 3 rolls was more than plenty for 2!
