I specifically created a Yelp account to write this review because I was blown away by my terrible experience. I was floored by how a 4 star restaurant on Yelp was able to provide me with such a terrible product.
This was the worst "sushi bar" I've ever been to. It pains me to even say that this place "serves sushi".
Here is what I ordered:
1) Asparagus tempura
2) Rock shrimp tuna roll
3) Ebi Shooter
4) Truffle Albacore
5) Lobster and shrimp dumpling
The best tasting thing I had from this restaurant were the complimentary yam chips.
The ebi shooter was really bad. It's a regular shrimp handroll, with added mango and avocado, replaced rice with tempura bits and seaweed with soy paper. Why is this so highly touted? You can even imagine for yourself how this would taste. Close your eyes. Imagine it. Yup, thats what it tastes like.
The lobster and shrimp dumplings were ridiculous. There's two of them and it's a har gow from your typical dim sum place except they added "lobster" to it. Let's say the whole thing was lobster (it's definitely not), how is this special or worth the eight dollars?
The biggest sin was the sushi rolls. For a "high end sushi bar", I'm expecting high quality sushi rice. NOW I understand why the ebi shooter didn't have any rice. Take a look at the picture of the Truffle Albacore roll that I am attaching with this review. You can actually see how flat the rice is. It's literally mushed together. Sushi in Japanese means "with rice". They failed at the literal meaning of the word sushi.
The only good thing from my experience with the restaurant was the service. The waiter was apologetic when we showed her the quality of the rice in the Truffle Albacore roll, and the manager was considerate enough to remove both rolls from our table. (Please note that we didn't finish both rolls)
Honestly, we don't mind paying for a high end sushi experience. It's why we decided to go try it in the first place. But this place is simply disappointing and that is being very generous.
Go somewhere else. Please.
