I just moved to the area and really, really, really wanted to like NZ Cafe. Based on the Yelp reviews, the typical lines and the fact I really wanted a good sushi place within a mile from where I live. So much so that I even went twice.
I should note I have only had the sushi, and I try to stick with sashimi and rolls without fried anything and I stay away from the entire fried rolls. Maybe their other stuff is better. I did like their bamboo roll, which is basically just fish wrapped in cucumber in a little ponzu sauce. Their eel isn't bad.
Everything else? Completely average at best. The rolls are way too large and have way too much rice. I popped the avocado off of a roll only to see a pencil-sized bit of filling in the middle of a giant wad of rice.
The fish seemed to be a bit fresher than average but I struggled to eat it or taste it around way too much rice. Some of the rolls are just bad. I couldn't manage to eat a grilled tuna roll.
I'd give the food about three stars (average), but the super-cramped space and the lines (why are there lines?) drop it down to about two stars. I'm regrettably driving farther for sushi now.
