| - Good concept. I had the Salmon bowl with veggies and brown rice and the Wasabi Hummus with the fried Wontons. I obviously cannot comment on how the sushi was, but the bowl, for the most part, have the same ingredients. It is exactly like going to Subway and either making the toppings go in a sub or a salad or going to Chipotle and making the ingredients go into a buritto or bowl. Only here, they take the bowl you fill up and either put it in a sushi rolling machine or stir fry it together with noodles or rice of your choice. This process can be awesome or disconcerting at the same time. When I chose the ingredients to fill my teriyaki bowl, I decided to load it with all the veggies because 1) veggies are good for me 2) Hell! Why not? If I am paying for something, why not get all that I can from it! So, as they were filling the bowl, I noticed that they only filled a small 2-3 ounce plastic ramiken full of Salmon. That would probably be a sufficient amount of Salmon for a Sushi roll, but certainly not for a Teriyaki bowl! It sould have been double that. Conversely, If I would have decided to have a roll instead and would have added all the ingrdients like I did in the bowl, that roll would have been hard to wrap and very difficult to eat!
I don't think it would be worth it to go for the upcharged "Spicy Tuna" or "Spicy Salmon" because all the employees told me they were just the fish with a little bit of Siracha added to it. Why would I pay extra for something that I can just do myself at the table?! That is like me going to a Mcdonalds and paying $.50 extra for them to put ketchup on it!
I wish they would have had fresh Jalepeno to available for me to put in my bowl or roll.
The wasabi hummus and fried wontons are a refreshing Asian spin to a Middle-Eastern staple. They even had these really cool fork/chop stick utensils. You can use a chopstick, and when you get bored or tired of using the chopsticks, you flip the utensil 180 degrees and Viola! You have got a fork! Careful, your hand will get a little messy if you flip them around too many times in one sitting.
Finally, the employees are very nice, enthusiastic an accomodating.
Overall, I would give this place a 3.5, so a 4 because I believe in rounding up! :-). It is worth trying.
