This used to be a Kanda's way back when that chain was at it's low point and the ghost of Kanda still seems to haunt this place i've managed to avoid even though I sushi all over the city.
Fisshu in English sounds pretty close to fishy for me. The French word "fichu" also comes to mind, not a good omen.
Exhausted from having spent 9 hours NOT eating at the auto-show and wanting to deviate from my normal downtown favorite AYCE (Kuu Bistro) 2 minutes away, I decided to give a go.
We started the night with about 20 sashimi pices and 20 nigiri sushi, the first was so small and thin but it was nothing compared to the nigiri pieces where the fish was paper thin, almost translucent. I just began eating the fish and leaving the rice ball, just not worth it.
The selection of sushi rolls was not much better, most rolls seemed very similar in taste, even the phoenix fried roll was cold for some reason. We gave up on sushi after trying 3-4 types of Maki.
The highlights were the short ribs, tempura, beef skewers, chicken wings and salmon teriyaki.
There is an entire menu page devoted to Chinese Wok items, rice and noodles, Ramen Soup and many other dishes i have never seen at AYCE such as omelette and Asian burgers
My only issue is that I came to eat Sushi, and that was a letdown, the only way i would recommend it is if someone does not like Sushi but wants to try Pan-Asian cuisine.
It was about half busy for a monday morning and we were seated in the middle at a tiny table. I asked for a larger one but was declined even though there were about 20 empty tables. There was barely any room for the dishes and we kept having to organise and place one dish on top of the other. At least the dishes were constantly being brought and picked up, but why go through this hassle?
I'll stick to Kuu when downtown
