| - Reasonably priced lunch specials with some hibachi grill options as well. After getting one of those Yelp notifications saying "We've found a great lunch spot near you" I decided to give this restaurant a go. You can definitely find good deals here if you're with the 1/2 off sushi rolls a couple of times a week.
Rolled in on a Thursday for lunch and surprised to say that 3 of the 4 employees were wearing... camouflage T-shirts... okay, that's not quite what I expected at a sushi restaurant, but that's fine! The menu is very simple with starters, grilled options, and sushi categories laid out well.
Went with hibachi chicken and a spicy tuna roll. While I waited on my food I started to take in the details of this place and it leaves a bit to be desired. My table had what I hope was dried soda left on it. I was seated by a tinted window that separates the kitchen from the dining area and I could see residual 'grime' on my side of the glass. You start to look around the rest of the restaurant and realize they need a bit of TLC. Some tables had low-riding bar style seats with no back, some had backs with no cushion, some were showing their wear. A few tables circular and most small and square, up against the wall. Some restaurants can make this work with a 'rustic' feel from reclaimed woods and artistic touches to make the character pop. This was more reminiscent of a surplus furniture auction. By no means am I saying this is a no-no.. I just wouldn't highlight the fact with the place being dirty...
...anyhow, food comes out and I gotta admit, the Hibachi chicken express lunch was pretty good! Rice was perfect and had a toasted, wholesome flavor. You get a nice portion of chicken that's seasoned well with plenty of hibachi sauce and it's just enough for lunch on its own. Solid A+ on the grill-works.
The sushi is a different story. At least what I got today: The spicy tuna roll. I can't be for certain, but the 'spicy' in my spicy tuna roll is what I believe to be a ketchup-based chili sauce. It tasted just like a spicy ketchup on top of an orange sauce. A rather petite roll as well, it just didn't do the tuna justice, as the tuna had a great, firm texture and fresh flavor. The last 4 pieces I actually just pulled the tuna out and used my chop sticks and a ginger slice to 'brush' some soy onto the tuna slices. The spicy sauce just ruined the roll for me, not because it was spicy, but because of the ketchup-esque topping...
With a great grilled entree at the right price point, I'll probably be back. I think next time I'll get it to go, though.
