| - Why come here: You are in the area, want unpretentious Japanese food combined with a bit of Thai, sick of Spring Rolls and you really really like rice. Also, if you want to do that convo with a friend:
Friend: where did you go?
You: AYCE sushi"
Friend: OH, where?
You: I told ya, AYCE sushi
and so on......
Why you shouldn't come here: You want to get super value for your money (ie you're super super super cheap) and eat 50 pcs of raw fish (without the rice), want eel and you want to see Gordon Ramsey type dishes.
Atmosphere: 3/5. It's not bad, considering it's in a mall and there is a bit of isolation, but I couldn't help but stare at the fact that I was right across from a Lenscrafters. This used to be Lemongrass location and they didn't really change much.
Service: 3.5/5 - the host was very friendly, explained the ordering process and that they were environmentally friendly as they tried to use the same piece of paper for each re-order (maybe they are just being cheap lol). They didn't miss a single thing, which is rare for ayce joints.
----------------------------
Food: Okay, I'm going to preface this in that I was really hungry and just came off an intense 2.5 hour workout. What is nice about this place is that all the rolls are 3-4 pcs at the most, meaning you can try most of it. I'm going to break the food review into 4 sections and they combine to make 3/5.
Apps: Miso soup, potato croquettes, grilled mackerel. Soup was too salty, mackerel was too rubbery and over-cooked, but the croquettes were perfectly fried and crispy. 2.5/5
Sushi/maki: Spicy salmon maki, salmon skin maki, green dragon maki, spicy salmon sushi, fish roe sushi, white tuna sushi, and red snapper sushi. I loved the salmon skin maki and the fish roe sushi. Salmon skin didn't have a weird taste to it, which is rare and the fish roe was nice and tasty. I only wish the fish roe and spicy salmon sushi were wrapped better. The presentation is lacking at this place. 3/5
Entrees (using this term loosely): Grilled salmon belly, BBQ eel hand roll, pad thai. Salmon belly was very fresh and tasty, although slightly charred. Pad thai was really good and was more Thai street style than fusion style (i.e. tomato sauce a la Spring Rolls). While those two were great, the BBQ eel hand roll was lacking. Too much rice and only 1 or 1.5 pieces of eel. Disappointing. 3/5
Dessert: They have a wide selection, but I stuck to the basics - red bean and green tea ice cream. It was good. 3.5/5
Overall for food:: 3/5
-----
Would I come back? Probably just to meet up with friends or something, but not something I am totally wowed by.
