| - I'm very particular when it comes to sushi restaurants, food wise, this place is a 3 star. But I truly really enjoyed dinner at this place, the atmosphere and decor, the ever smiling waitress, and the price point is unarguably attractive. So I'm giving it a 4.
The small boutique-like restaurant is stunning. The simple colors and decors only highlighted the clean and elegance of the place. I was in love with it the first moment I stepped in there and secretly promised myself to decorate my future kitchen in a similar light. The waitress is all smiles and extremely nice! She greeted us and since we had a buytopia deal for Chef's choice, she explained what it included and more, gave us ample time to decide.
For $20, we got a sizable tataki salad, lobster, shrimp and crab meat in a filo cup, 4 specialty maki rolls (4 pieces each), 1 avocado maki roll, 2 tea pots with individual choice of flavored tea, and a piece of cake. The tataki salad is a great appetite starter, the yu mi sauce was great, with enoki, seaweed, mango slices that complements the plentiful of seared hamachi, tuna and salmon as well as the regular salad elements. The lobster and crab salad is creamy and delicious, they are very generous on giving plenty of seafood meat and the filo is eatable and quite good with the seafood it holds. The maki that came with chef's choice includes the salmon extrava, soft shell crab maki, shrimp tuna and mango maki and the salmon asparagus maki. The maki are not bad, but nothing impressive, the fish meat is generally made in the crushed form and it's a little hard to distinguish each roll from the other, the taste is not distinct enough from each other to be noticeable. For the after-dinner tea, there are quite a few flavors to choose from, most are the basic tea accompanied by some exotic flavors of herbs, fruits or flowers. They are served in individual teapots. We also got a choice of cheesecake and keylime pie, we chose the chocolate cheesecake. I couldn't eat too much since I'm lactose intolerant but for the few bites I did get, it tasted pretty good.
Overall, I think the dinner was very enjoyable and had a lovely experience here.
