| - I recently started becoming a frequent sushi eater, but let me start by admitting that I am no sushi snob. The beginning of this experience was fun! We got seated quickly, the servers were very nice, and they greet you with warm towels and complimentary miso soup (although I only got one piece of tofu in mine). We decided to go here because we saw the sushi boats that they serve your food on and it looked really neat! There also aren't many sushi places in Urbana/Champaign, so we thought we might check this one out since we've been to the others.
We got the Shrimp tempura as an appetizer which was good. And for the Sushi we got 8 rolls for the 5 of us girls. From the ones I remember I think we got the Spicy tuna, love-love, california, vienna, spicy salmon, volcano, and sake bomb. It took a while between the appetizer and entree which was a little awkward, but when the food came the presentation was well done and we were ready to eat.
Some negatives: The first one I picked up wasn't rolled very tight and kept slipping through my chopsticks. It ended up plopping into my soy sauce dish. -_- The sushi overll was just okay. A few other rolls weren't rolled very tight, and on one of the rolls the rice seemed a bit dried out. Maybe it was because we went at around 8:30? But still, dried out rice? meh!
Some Positives: the spicy tuna and spicy salmon were actually spicy! Which was good! The love love roll was also pretty good. The service was friendly, and we got seated right away.
If you're in the mood for some quick, cheap sushi, I definitely recommend this place. If you're looking for some great quality, fancy place, I would stick with ko fusion and sakanaya.
