| - If someone asks you if you want to eat here, your only response should be "Oh, I don't think so," à la Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Stars Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
For a $19.99 bento box, the chicken and/or tofu (or other protein you choose) is placed on a bed of undercooked onions and cabbage. Rice is not provided in any part of the bento box, except as a component of the sushi roll you get.
The food is really nothing special. Any rolls ordered are SLATHERED with dressing/sauce/dip, which really makes the food wet and soggy. Soggy sushi, rice, or tempura is really, really not a pleasant texture.
Fruit garnishes with a green cruciferous leaf is a really big thing here, even though the fruit doesn't necessarily match the order in terms of taste combination, or edibility (do you need huge orange slices for makizushi pieces? I don't think I need oranges when I'm eating raw fish with mayo, wasabi, aioloi, or soy sauce). Strawberries with sushi is just really not appetising and does NOT work. The Tropicana is a fruit and rice combination, but do you REALLY need avocado when you already have the soft yet firm textures of mango and strawberry? Avocado is nice, but using it as a cheap filler for every roll gets old and boring quickly.
The appetisers are mistakenly labelled as "entrée" online in their menus (oops!) and are fairly priced. The salads are VERY boring, and the soups are run-of-the-mill miso soup. The warm appetisers, sunomono (namasu), and cold appetisers are very good. The entrées are really, really overpriced, and a lot of them are just a mix a roll of your pick with a protein of your pick and some rice. The salmon tastes very obviously frozen, and is overly fishy, tasting more like a cheap Atlantic haddock or hake. The tempura is unimaginative, being the stereotypical shrimp and few assorted fruits/vegetables that every other place with tempura serves. It's actually a bit oily; oil should be knocked off prior to serving to customers. Also, when they say "white tuna," pretty sure this isn't actual Albacore tuna, but Escolar, which is NOT a tuna; Escolar is snake mackerel, and does not taste anything LIKE tuna (they're not related). The tiramisu, for a flat $6.50, was REALLY gross. I really advise completely skipping dessert here, it's really gross and just not acceptable.
Would I say "NEVER EVER VISIT HERE THIS PLACE SHOULD BE CONDEMNED" to everyone? No, but I don't see why I would come here over an all-you-can-eat sushi/Japanese buffet, or another Japanese/East Asian restaurant.
