| - I tried to come back to this place twice for lunch over the past week and both times they were closed, despite their business hours stating otherwise. Anyways we asked the owner and was told that they were doing renovations at that time.
We were then given the usual complimentary chapchae, a generous and delicious bowl of sesame glass noodles!
We ordered the chicken teriyaki lunch bento $10.50 which included miso soup (which they never brought - oops), salad, 3 pcs of veggie maki...meh, 4pc of crisp veg tempura and 2pc shrimp tempura, and of course a nice portion of chicken teriyaki atop stir fried veggies with steam rice. It was a decent size but not enormous.
Next we had 4 different rolls including the rainbow roll, premium salmon roll, Alaska roll, and spider roll. We also ordered 2pc sake, and 2pc butterfish sashimi a la carte.
Despite the nice presentation, the rolls were not filled as I would have liked and they were on the small side. The Alaska roll was crab salad (of the mayo variety) topped with thinly sliced butterfish, and the spider roll look like a small dynamite roll. The other two were California based but topped with thin slices of assorted fish. The fish tasted fresh but it was it was on the warm side. The 4pc of sashimi I ordered were accidentally bright out as Nigri, if I wanted sushi like this I would have just gone to an AYCE place.
Luckily they still have the redeeming qualities of their beautiful venue and generous chapchae starter. The 50% discount offered on the special maki and dinner items make their overpriced menu very reasonable and the 99c/ounce saki is a steal!
So I'll be back for sure, but hopefully they don't slip in terms of quality or im gone like wind.
