| - Overall impression: It's a little better than ok.
First of all it's a fast food type of restaurant but a step up from Panda Express. This was my first time eating food from this place but all I wanted was sushi (take-out) to satisfy the craving. My wife and I have a favorite place for sushi (Island Sushi) but it's on Eastern just south of the 215 and I wasn't about to drive out there. China a Go Go was closer so why not try them out?
Upon walking in I was greeted by about 3 of their staff all smiling at me, looking eager to have something to do... that made me feel a little weird. Could business be that slow and were they desperate for my business? It was mother's day so it could have been unusually slow and this location just opened not too long ago too. Anyways I was committed to trying their sushi because the craving was strong.
After that weird feeling entrance/greeting, the guy at the reception was very helpful with answering my questions. They were also patient with me as I sat at a table looking through the menu to order my take out... even though I thought they looked really eager to help me, they did not hover over me which I think gives them points.
Their selection of specialty rolls was ok... again not as many varieties as Island Sushi. In my opinion there were too many that had cream cheese as an ingredient. yuck. So I ordered a few specialty rolls (mostly spicy!) and they redeemed a coupon for a free CA roll. I wanted to try some Chow Fun or some Pork Fried Rice a la carte, but the prices really turned me off. Chow Fun for $8 come on! And $7 for Pork Fried Rice? No way! You might be saying, "but you're paying $$ for sushi, isn't that a double standard?" No! One should expect sushi to be on a higher price bracket than fried rice and chow fun. To me it's like the difference between a ribeye steak dinner vs spaghetti and meatballs.
So I order just the sushi and they told me it would be about 15min, which was fine. Then I noticed they had a sushi bar across from where I was sitting and kinda put it together in my head that they were taking time to make fresh sushi. Awesome... That gives them some points.
Long story short... I took it home and my wife and I thought the sushi was good for such a place like this. The flavors were good, the rice was good, cucumbers were crisp, CA rolls had imitation crab, etc... it was pleasant but not the best. I think this place will serve to satisfy the sushi craving whenever we cannot make it to Island Sushi... but that will be few and far between.
So for now it's a 3.5 stars for me and my wife. The rest of the menu was too expensive to try out and the sushi was better than ok.
