| - I'm pretty surprised that this place has gotten such good reviews, and chose to try it out based on its outstanding ratings on Yelp.
On the plus side, service was excellent -- our waitress was very friendly.
On the negative side, the food was mediocre at best, genuinely dissatisfying at worst. I got a crunchy tuna roll, but the tempura flakes were soft and mushy, as if the sushi had been sitting around for a while and the tempura had moistened. It was not a pleasant texture for a roll advertised as "crunchy." A yellowtail roll also disappointed, and tasted radically different than the yellowtail nigiri my girlfriend received, leading me to suspect that the rolls were not made from the same cut of fish. This reinforced my perception that this roll may well have been pre-made. My third roll, a daily special, was better, but 1 out of 3 is not good for a sushi restaurant.
This is not a cheap place, either, which compounded our disappointment. Dinner for 2 was around $45.
