| - I had heard a lot of great things about Sushi Eye. My coworkers seem to love this place. So when I was in Ahwatukee and craving Japanese food, I decided to give it a try.
The decor is nice. The interior looks swanky and modern. There are large tvs on the walls, etc. However, the food is another story. I ordered chicken teriyaki, which comes with salad, miso, rice and a CA roll. The salad was entirely coated in dressing- you could barely find the lettuce amidst all of the dressing. The miso was some of the worst I've ever had- it tasted like straight dashi stock- hardly any miso to speak of. Not to mention the extras in the soup (tofu, onions, wakame) were pretty much non-existant. I got to the main course of chicken- and my stomach began to turn after only a few bites. The rice looked like it had oil in it- which made it cumbersome to eat with sticks.
My friend had the Sweet Thang roll. The roll was apparently okay, though there was hardly any eel or rice in it. Once again, the rice was misbehaving, and the interior of the roll wanted to completely fall apart. I can only guess that they weren't using very good short grain rice.
To make matters worse, I had to pay for my uneaten meal- I guess the waitress just didn't care. Despite the restaurant being pretty empty, the service was lackluster. Tea cups were left unfilled, and our waitress had the personality of a wet mop.
Needless to say, I won't be returning again.
