| - I decided to go with a friend to sushi a few days ago and wanted to find someplace in between our pads, and good ol' Yelp picked this place!
We went on a Tuesday night around 6:15 pm. This place is kinda hidden in the back of a shopping plaza. Upon walking in the first thing I noticed was the decor (or lack there of for a sushi restaurant) and the bright green wall in the back. ODD.
There was only one or two other couples in the establishment...hmmm...
My friend and I sat right at the bar. Only one rack had fish in it...seemed like one main chef working and two other waitresses. Hmm again...
Was a little skeptical.
We decided to get an order of saki bombers...asked for ONE large set up for us both to split...someone we ended up getting TWO large sets, one for each of us...YIKES! We decided to just try and swing it on our own and see how much we could finish.
Upon opening the menu I was greeted with a wide variety of rolls to choose from. All seemed typical, some not so typical, but either way there was a lot to pick from. It took us a while to decide what we wanted, and for the life of me I can't remember what specific ones we ordered (damn saki), so I can't be of much recommendation there.
I will say that what we did receive tasted delicious and fresh. The rolls were reasonably priced and much lower for their specialty rolls than other establishments I have been to...that I like A LOT.
The sashimi was a little weird. I always order yellowtail sashimi at any sushi place I eat, and this one seemed to cut the meat weird. The slices were thin and rolled up in a little tootsie roll style. Hmmm...
Extra bonuses: The chef provided us with several samples of meats for free! I always inquire about the specialty fish (toro, yellowtail belly, etc.) and they didn't have any. He made us something unique: white tuna on top of rice with crispy fried onion strings on top. What a delight!!! I told them that this needed to be on the menu as a regular item to order!
In either case, the sushi was delicious and reasonably priced for the most part. I would go back if I was in the area, but would not make the trek out there on an ordinary day.
Give it a try!
