| - I've popped in here for both a sit-down dinner and late-night sushi take-out. The interior is classy and contemporary, and the waitstaff is friendly. Great atmosphere for a date. Pretty nice presentation, too. Service is a little slow.
On to the food! My boyfriend has a gluten allergy, and the chef was happy to make some informed suggestions about safe options, which was pretty cool. The miso is too salty... I really don't like it at all. I have to say that I'm also not really a fan of their fried sushi rolls - the batter is a little too thick for my taste, kind of like fancy fish sticks. However, I will say that the other rolls I've had were quite delicious.
The Cherry Blossom Roll is simple, and though I'm not usually for the simpler rolls, it was actually very flavorful and fresh. I'd order it again.
I also have had a Spicy Tuna Roll, and though the taste wasn't completely my thing (a bit saltier than expected, maybe?), it was true to its word about the heat.
The Florida Roll tastes great with spicy salmon swapped out for the tuna (EDIT: I've been told they do not do substitutions anymore). This thing was definitely packed to the brim with fish. No skimping there.
Hands down, though, my #1 recommendation is the Tropical Exotic Roll. It's unique and SO tasty! Don't be scared off by the odd-looking soy paper and the unusual, cute little triangles it's cut in - that's part of what makes it delicious! I'm planning on getting it again my next visit for sure.
Their prices are kind of high, but I was told they always have BOGO sushi, so that's how they balance the deal. I'm not sure about the other types of food they serve, but if you're into sushi, give them a try!
EDIT: I have now also tried their pho. It's okay, but definitely isn't memorable. Pretty bland. Wouldn't recommend.
