| - About a year ago, the boyfriend and I went in to SushiWa and immediately walked out when we saw not one single customer inside.
A year later, it seems like SushiWa is what everyone talks about if you live in the 89052 area code. We finally gave it a try yesterday, and I was reasonably pleased.
The decor inside is very modern and roomy. Not like your typical AYCE joints in town - where you can reach over to the table next to you with your chopsticks to try out their dishes.
Their menus cover your basics but with a little more. This AYCE actually gives you sashimi (one order per person). That was pleasantly surprising. We then ordered our usual sushi and rolls.
The fish is VERY fresh. The boyfriend claims that the super white tuna there is by far the best he has had, even better than the ones in California. I must say that the freshness of the fish is comparable to the freshness of the ones in Hong Kong, so that's saying a lot.
The sushi was made of little rice and a big chuck of fish - just the way I like them. The rolls were somewhat difference because they were cut very thinly. Must try the super spider roll made with soft shell crab and shrimp tempura - yummy!
Their fresh oysters are also very delicious, but also one order per person - boo.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience at SushiWa and will definitely return since it is so close to my house. Another nice thing about it is that there is no wait. AYCE sushi joints usually have at least a 30 minute wait, and it is just plain ol' obnoxious.
Aside from the thin rolls, this place lost a star because of its strict rules about how many order per person. By the time we had our third rounds of orders, I was getting so frustrated about what we had already order or what we can't order. But it is what it is!
Oh, our server, Monica, was a sweetheart. However, you guys must be mindful that this restaurant is owned and run by Koreans, so it is not your typical/ordinary Japanese place.
Lastly, this place plays awesome music! Fresh fish, great service, awesome music! You should be sold by now.
Enjoy!
