| - Another day, another new sushi restaurant. I was in the neighborhood around here with my co-worker who suggested going to this place. It was empty when we arrived ~ 2 pm so we had our choice of seats. I had a good first impression of this place with the cool orange color motif and the clear glass under your feet when you first walk in giving you a view of cute fish swimming underneath. They started out playing some cool techno music. After we sat down, we noticed that the table was a bit sticky, which was a turn-off
We started out with the octopus salad which had nice flavor. It was predominantly acidic with a touch of sweetness and the cucumbers gave it a nice crunch. The octopus, unfortunately, was a bit too tough for my tastes.
Next came the sushi rolls. The morning dew was really good - in general, I am not a huge fan of tempura-infused sushi, but the amount added was relatively subtle and added a nice textural element. The Hotty Hamachi sashimi was topped with a jalapeno and was fresh and packed a nice punch. The spicy scallop roll was a little disappointing. The spiciness of the roll overwhelmed the star of the dish, the scallops, which I was unable to taste in all of the pieces except one.
We also had the spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail rolls that were tasty as well.
While our server was extremely attractive, they forgot to give us the ginger and wasabi when our sushi arrived. She was very friendly, however.
We paid ~$36 per person for the meal and had a good experience here overall.
