| - I feel like I have to preface something: It doesn't matter if it's chinese-owned or ran or whatever, because that just sounds highly-prejudiced on its own if you think you HAVE TO BE a certain race to make certain cuisine. What does it matter unless you are properly trained? People ought to judge food based on taste and not on who/what race is the person makes it. Food for thought.
LOCATION: Tucked away in the corner of the plaza near the bottom-floor garage, I feel like it often gets overlooked. Definitely not as packed as Ichiza, which also serves japanese dishes, it's a nice change. Food came out relatively quick.
PRICE: Relatively low-priced around $7-$8, the dishes left us pretty full. My friends ended up having to roll me through the door because I decided not to waste any food.
FOOD: My friends and I ordered the omusoba and yakisoba. My yakisoba arrived greasy, crackling, and heaping. The omusoba is the exact same thing, but with over-egg encasing the top of the noodles. Topped with pickled ginger and japanese mayonnaise, it was the perfect food soaker for the late-night drinking crowd. How can you go wrong with uber-greasy noodles, lettuce, beef, and sliced carrots?! It was filling and tasty.
As far as their sushi and ramen go DON'T. I've been here enough times through the years to order the food they're good at making. The problem with shuseki is, it has this massive menu but they don't have specialty in making any one dish. They aren't really known for spectacularly done items. I believe they try to tackle too much.
This might explain why this place is always dead. Everytime I come here, it's pretty empty. Even on the weekends, I hardly see it filled up or too busy. Great place to meet up with a whole group of people.
Our server was attentive, and went to check on us often to refill our waters.
It's a decent place to pop in for something simple, but not somewhere to impress out-of-towners. I would just suggest Shuseki to make cut their huge menu down and focus on improving on the dishes they do well/improve the ones they do not. Worth a visit.
