| - Eh, this place is OK. The sushi wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. I tried some traditional nigiri style sushi as well as some not so traditional special rolls to sort of test the authenticity of this place (I enjoy both ends of the spectrum), and I'd have to say it leans heavily on the side of Americanized sushi.
For nigiri I had the ikura (salmon roe), uni (sea urchin), and tamago (egg). The ikura was decent, the uni didn't taste like anything (and was probably frozen before), and the tamago just tasted like regular scrambled egg.
I found their specialty roll menu to be... unique? Very uh interesting combinations, with ingredients like kiwi and crawfish. I didn't venture too far out of my comfort zone and ended up with the Pink Lady roll on the recommendation of our server. I can't remember all of the ingredients but I know it had shrimp tempura and mango. I wasn't keen on having fruit in my sushi, but the mango was subtle in flavor and added sort of a refreshing aspect to every bite. Definitely the highlight of the meal. I also had the lobster maki (special) and shrimp tempura roll (regular), both of which were forgettable. I will say that the special rolls are huge. 10 large piece to each roll, so you shouldn't have a problem getting full.
The customer service was really, really friendly and attentive. Our waitress was genuinely nice and outgoing to us and everyone that came in. Top notch service.
Overall, the sushi was alright but nothing that would bring me back anytime soon. It gets 2 stars with a bonus star for excellent service.
