Reviews
Food wise, it was OK for the things that I ordered and the price is in line with what you would find everywhere else except for the Toro, which was rather expensive in my opinion. The black garlic Ramen was actually better than expected other than the eggs was fully boiled. I believe the eggs in the Ramen should be more like custard texture, which this one is not. The hand roll was a nice size as you can see in the picture.
For now, I’ll give you the four star across the board, but I will go back to try some other dishes to give the final verdict.
Soft shell crab – did not look good. Flat and squished. It was fishy and the taste was off, seriously off. I think it was rotten. Worst soft shell crab I’ve ever eaten in my life.
Tempura- the veggies were good, I didn’t even bother with the shrimp since it looks like they cook it the same way as the soft shell crab, same batter too. Just stick with veggie tempura. I have never seen any restaurant had tempura came with 2 types of batters, unless it is one of those udon places that sells tempura by individual pieces.
Chirachi sushi- big portion. Shashimi were fishy, definitely not fresh. Taste weird too. The only good thing about it was the fresh chopped mustard pickled on top.
Salmon Kama – bland but decent.
2 stars for the vegetable tempura and Kama.
Worse sushi/sashimi place ever. I do not recommend this place.
Everything deserved 5 stars.
I’d definitely come back.
The taste also either is similar or beats the other sushi spots I have been to. I have tried several different rolls (Sumo, Dragon, Kakuna, to name a few) and honestly they are all on par with each other. Pick any specialty roll and you can’t go wrong.
I’d definitely come back!
There is no public restroom as well 🙁
It’s very hole in the wall, no frills, come for the food type of place.
Highlights:
– prices! We went during happy hour (1-2pm and 7pm to closing) and we got the crunch roll (2 rolls for $12!)
– self serve hot tea (genmaicha?) and water. The tea was flavorful!
– service was fast and friendly
Taste:
the good: We got miso soup, and a baked roll (forgot the name…) and crunch roll. All were 5/5
So-so: Their donburi bowls had too much rice for our liking. Salmon skin roll was ok
Other notes:
– Didn’t get a chance to try their sashimi because I’m pregnant so we will definately be back!
– yes they only have 6 tables and no restroom because the place is small
