| - As I had a craving for sushi, I stopped in for sushi night Wednesday. I started with the ginger margarita. It was not a good drink. I am in the camp that a margarita should but pleasantly tart and not sweet. There's was 10-12 oz wine glass of slightly fruity, extremely sour liquid. No ginger flavor was detectable.
The sushi was worse. The spicy tuna roll was a small sliver of plain tuna, cucumber matchsticks, and rather large pieces of green onion. Not at all spicy and rather roughly constructed. The volcano roll was a California roll of mostly cucumber with a little crab and avocado, and drizzled with spicy mayo. The worst part was the rice - it was either old and/or under-cooked. It was below day old grocery store sushi quality, and at $7 each very disappointing.
My friend got the steam buns. She managed to eat most of one but that was a challenge. It came with some yellow, funky-smelling cabbage (yes, I know cabbage can have a certain smell, and no, it wasn't kim-chi or pickled). Neither of us dared to taste it.
The atmosphere and service were fine, I guess. Nothing particularly interesting or annoying. The place was almost empty, which doesn't surprise me after trying the food. I can't see returning. 1.5 stars.
