OK, I'm going with 3 stars just because service is of the utmost import to me. The service was super inattentive despite the fact that there were myriad servers on the floor at all times.
An empty sake cup is the ULTIMATE sushi dining foul! Grr!
This place has been given rave reviews from all of my friends, so I had to try it for myself.
It's VERY American meaning large portions and lots of American ingredients.
They did have this incredible roll called the Something Wrong #35. Oh, there was something oh-so right about this something wrong. The tempura yams and carrots we very unique, and this was my hands down favorite.
I fell in love with "japanese lasagna" at Osaka, but Sushi Fever's version didn't give the dish its due. The cool thing about this restaurant is the clever naming of the rolls (really?! Dale Earnheart --whoever that is with THAT spelling) has his own roll? Oh, and I think I'll try this one "Just for the Halibut."
Punny. Corny. Still Fun.
But I digress...
This place was jumping for an early Sunday evening. The people didn't stop waltzing through the doors in their khaki shorts, t-shirts, and hiking shoes (c'mon people! Dress up for a change!). The fact that each customer was greeted with some foreign Japanese phrase (it probably means a$$hole for all I know because I stopped speaking Japanese in elementary school) was a unique personal touch.
Next time I'll sit at the bar. At least I'll be entertained by the sushi chef while I wait for my sake cup to be refilled.
Give it a shot!
