| - Overall, this place deserves 3.5 stars for being decent. It's a little sushi bowl spot that will satisfy your basic craving. I was looking for a quick lunch for take out and drove by this place, decided to give it a shot.
I was greeted right when I walked in, not busy yet since they had just opened at 11am. The storefront is nice and clean, only one table was occupied by the manager and his family I think. The girl behind the counter (Shayla?) was friendly enough, she made sure to make eye contact and smile. She patiently waited while I browsed the menu. I wish she was a little more engaging. Usually other establishments try some anticipatory question or remark to help the customer. It would have been nice if she tried a little, maybe inquire if I had questions, or if it was my first time here. Especially since it was slow business time. However, she was attentive enough while I placed my order.
I ordered the custom bowl with salad as the base, salmon and yellowtail as my proteins, then seaweed salad and edamame as toppings. The bowl was complete with the garlic ponzu sauce. Quality of the fish was good, and the flavor of the sauce complimented the ingredients. I do think the portions are a little small, which is why I added the salmon after I saw what the yellowtail scoops were. The toppings available left more to be desired. Did I miss the masago (smelt egg)? That's my favorite topping! Price was decent, about $11 for what I ordered.
Would this be my go-to spot for a sushi bowl? Probably not. Everything was ok, nothing more or less and I've experienced better in town. Would I come back to try it again? Absolutely, because at least they have room to make small adjustments for better results.
