| - I've wanted to try this place out for months now but every time I call to order, the wait is always about 45 minutes. Around Christmas, I believe it was a 90-minute wait. Anyway, one day I was off work and had a lot of time to play with so I decided this was the day. I called at about 2:30pm and ordered the Sushi & Sashimi Combo (8pcs assorted sashimi, 5pcs assorted sushi & 3pcs California roll) for $11.95 and, this time, it was only a 30-minute wait. As most of you already know, there is only street parking in Mystic Pointe. The restaurant itself was immaculate, the service was friendly and they offered me a loyalty card.
Here's my take on the food itself: they were quite generous with the portions and the fish was extremely fresh - just melted in my mouth. Unfortunately, so sorry to say, but the rice was way overcooked. I had to take the fish off the rice as I couldn't enjoy it with the mushy textured rice. In addition, a very little amount of wasabi was provided but, luckily, I had some in the fridge.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, given all the five star reviews, I genuinely believe my experience was a one-off. I do plan to return but, for now, I rate it 3.5/5.
