| - I had a hard time deciding which places to go for AYCE sushi-- Brian's Beach Sushi or Hikari?!? Based on the menus (from pictures), I noticed that Brian's has a larger appetizer selection, similar list for sushi, and tons of rolls. In contrast, Hikari has a limited overall menu, but have sashimi (and its AYCE). The bfriend and I are more of a sashimi type of people, but I figured, I really liked the idea of variety and choices so we opted to go to Brian's. We were hoping that the variety will be tasteful and has quality that it will justified our decision.
We came in, and I knew exactly what to order for appetizers-- all the recommended items from other reviewers, of course (i.e. Seared Tuna Carpacio, Ahi Poke, Sashimi Roll, Green Mussels, Deep Fried Oyster, and etc)! Tried them, and honestly, none stood out; none was soo tasty that I would crave for it once I leave. In addition, we ordered 2 specialty rolls and 1 deep fried roll, and none of them were memorable. We also ordered sushi-- it was okay; it just didn't hit the spot.
Brian's Beach Sushi is the place for you if you are a roll person. This place has an extensive list of Specialty Rolls, Shrimp Tempura Rolls, Soft Shell Crab Rolls, and Deep Fried/Baked Rolls. If you are a sashimi person, then you should go elsewhere (Hikari). The appetizer lists was decent, but none made an impression on me. But they might for you.
