Took a chance and returned to Chaya for take out. This time I ordered the delux sushi combination a la carte.
At $32 dollars this really is a steal. One could expect to pay 3x as much for similar quality in more of a "foodie" city.
Mine included 14 pieces of nigiri, cali roll, and shrimp head.
The nigiri pieces were all quality. Perfect portion/temperature of rice, and I enjoyed the consistency. All the pieces tasted fresh tonight, (including the uni which I believe had gone bad on my first visit)
Glad I went back, and I'll be back again.
I would give it 4.5 stars if I could, but to get 5 stars it would have to surpass umi which was probably the best meal I've had. Not to mention, I'm still a bit bitter from my first visit.
