| - My sister and I decided to come here for lunch during the week, as she was craving sushi. I looked at the reviews and felt that the place would serve us decent food. First off, the location is somewhat difficult to find.. We drove around the plaza and could not see it. The parking lot is on the opposite side of the building, so the restaurant is facing hwy 7.
Once we finally got there, it was half full so we were able to get a booth for ourselves. I really liked their menu, as it illustrates the majority of its menu items with pictures of the actual food. So when I was ordering my bento, I knew exactly what was coming.
Our waitress was very accommodating and did her best to help us. My sister really dislikes salmon (I know, I don't understand it either...), so she asked the waitress to substitute her pieces of salmon sashimi for anything else. The waitress agreed and didn't charge us extra for the substitution. So, my sister has the sushi+sashimi bento and I had the chicken teriyaki combo and the sushi appetizer.
The bentos looked great and we were both hungry, so we dug in right away! Everything tasted great in my opinion, but one thing was a bit off. When my sister and I both tried the sushi, we were surprised to find that there was wasabi already added on the rice underneath the fish itself. Now, to me that was okay, but to someone like my sister who avoids spices it was not. We asked the waitress about this and she informed us that this was the traditional way to make sushi. I don't disagree, that may be true..however, we've never encountered this at any other location. She told us that we were supposed to inform her while ordering that we didn't want the wasabi. Only problem was that nowhere was it written on the menu that they do that.
Regardless, she switched my sister's sushi and everything was fine. We both enjoyed our lunch and were full for a while. I would definitely come back again and maybe try some of their Korean items! So, the food was good and the service was great.
