| - Sunday was my first time eating at Fujimi. I was really excited about eating here. I'm a huge foodie who especially appreciates the artistry and craft of culinary. After seeing the pictures on yelp and urbanspoon, I had to try! I expected the nice presentation that is shown in these pictures. Sadly, I was really disappointed (by both the presentation and the overall flavor). We had:
Appetizers:
Beef Tataki and Wasabi Peppered Tuna
Both were very delicious.
Sushi:
The Angry Dragon (Specialty Roll), Rainbow Roll and Eel/Avocado Roll
The Angry Dragon was decent. The baked crab on top of the roll was very savory. I was particularly unimpressed by the Rainbow Roll. The Rainbow Roll is my "go-to" roll when I can't decide at a sushi restaurant. It's practically impossible to mess up this roll since it is just a california roll with salmon, tuna and yellowfish on top. Sadly, the roll was bland and boring (which never happens! .. when I had it elsewhere anyway).
Dessert:
Green Tea Ice Cream
Always delicious!
On to THE SERVICE.
I asked our waitress to bring Unagi sauce and sriacha with our sushi (I like dipping my sushi in these sauces instead of soy sauce and wasabi). Well, she brought out the sushi and asked me what the sauces were again. After about 5-10 minutes, I didn't see the waitress so I figured she got caught up doing something else. I didn't want to eat the sushi by itself so I went up to the sushi chefs. I was then told that I should ask my server. I replied that I did ask her, but I don't see her. He repeats "Ask the waitress" which makes no sense since he's the sushi chef and he has the sauces. Our waitress was sweet and I'm sure she had nothing to do with the inconvenience, but I was pretty annoyed.
Overall, the sushi was mediocre, but I enjoyed the appetizers and dessert. To be honest, after trying the appetizers I thought "This is delicious! I have to come back here" but the sushi experience and the "commotion" I stirred up with the sauces swayed me otherwise.
