so after working out at the Y across the street we decided to check this place out and I have to say, left a little disappointed.
the good: amazingly fresh fish and very cute, cozy interior. I got the sushi king set and it came with a toro one which melted in your mouth. my boyfriend got the grilled mackerel and it tasted like they caught it like 20 minutes before.
the bad: despite the great quality fish, the sushi was less than presentable -- sort of just slapped together. this wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for the fact that the rice was totally warm, overcooked/mushy and tasted overly sour and sweet. they also put way too much rice in both the nigiri and the rolls -- it was seriously like carbfest 3000. you really shouldn't be drowning good quality fish with all this mushy sushi rice.
I pointed out the mushy rice to the waitress who dismissively said that it was because the rice was newly made, which I found problematic because you aren't supposed to serve just-made rice in sushi -- it needs to cool down and harden first. it probably also absorbed too much vinegar and sugar because it was newly made.
the salad was also pretty lackluster -- leaves were wilting and too much dressing. miso was good though.
anyway we will probably give this place one more try because it seems to have potential.
