| - now, to be honest, i have only tried the sushi. and i have only done that at lunch time whilst standing on one foot, hopping up and down and rubbing my tummy. plus it is in the building adjacent to the one i work in, so it seems like it would be easy to pop out for a quick sushi fix at lunch.
my first time, was with my high school girlfriend my senior year. we were both nervous... i mean, i was having lunch with a friend and we decided to dine in.
the line was long since we got there right around noon and they don't really have ample seating to handle their lunch crowd. so you are sort of left with one of those "college cafeteria, put your jacket on your chair while you order" type of situations.
i ordered a spicy tuna and a spider roll, i think. for as busy as it was, i understood the ten to fifteen minute wait to get our food. most of my first soda was gone by then. the rolls, for roughly $8-10 a pop, are relatively small. like the diameter of a quarter. the flavor wasn't bad, but it was nothing i would write japan about.
since then, i have tried it on a strictly take-out basis. when this occurs, you are left standing in front of the small sushi bar that they make your rolls.... waiting.
the first time, it was again, a slammed lunch time, so i understood the ten to fifteen minute wait. but this last go round, the place was maybe half full with no more than three people in line at a time. and other than the seated patrons, nobody at the counter was really ordering sushi.
i seriously waited fifteen minutes for a spicy tuna roll the diameter of a quarter in eight half inch pieces and two pieces of salmon nigiri that were the size of bait. and i got out of there for about twelve bucks. seriously disappointing.
