| - I heard this place just opened, so I thought I would check it out. I have been longing for Lakewood to get a sushi place again since the owner of Sakura closed and opened a place in Westlake called Arashi, which is a little too far for me to go on a whim.
Voodoo Tuna markets themselves as "asian fusion" and so they have a more adventurous menu than some more traditional sushi places. Some of the menu did look pretty interesting, and I may come back and check out their exclusives sometime.
However, they are quite expensive when it comes to basics -- I was charged $8 for plain salmon maki rolls that I can get pretty much anywhere else for $5-6. And they weren't out of the ordinary, or giant portions. I also waited over 45 minutes from ordering to being served, which is an extraordinarily long wait for three simple sushi rolls. Granted, they seemed busy, but I hope that's not typical. The bartender apologized several times for the wait, which was appreciated, but that's really too long to wait for an order.
Unfortunately I was not very impressed, and I wouldn't have minded if their prices were more in line with what other sushi places cost, but for their prices I was disappointed. I would still recommend checking it out if you like sushi and are looking for something different, you may find it more to your liking than I did.
For a nearby alternative, Brown Sugar Thai recently started offering sushi, and hardly ever seem to be busy.
