I love their half-priced dine in menu, atmosphere, wait staff, and food presentation. I’ve also typically got two of the same waiters every time I go and both of them are fantastic. My standard order is the Olympic Roll and Philadelphia Roll, and some Edemame if I want an extra treat.
My previous visit last month, I got subpar food – both rolls were disappointing, but I figured it was just a fluke.
So, I went in today. The edemame and Olympic Roll were amazing as usual. Unfortunately, I got barely any salmon in the Phadelphia Roll, which was the issue I had last time I was there. It might as well have been a cucumber and cream cheese roll – the oz or two of salmon within the roll did not contribute to the taste of texture of the roll at all. This has not been an issue when I first started eating there, but it seems to be now.
I gave them a chance to fix it this time. I told my waiter (one of my regular ones) about the issue and he took it back. The chef sent it back to me with no changes telling my waiter to tell me that’s how they make it for everyone and everyone else likes it. I’m not one to make a scene and call a manager or anything, so I just smiled and said OK. My waiter did feel bad about it and apologized. I ate the food and tipped well (it wasn’t my waiter’s fault), but I do vote with my dollar and will probably be taking my business to another sushi place I like in Fargo going forward.
Philadelphia Rolls are a favorite of mine when eating sushi. It’s a very simple but flavorful roll if made correctly, and it tells me a lot about the place I’m eating at. I’ve attached an image of a well-made philly roll – they are suposed to have equal parts salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber/avocado.
If a resturant is skimping on the salmon – obviously the most expensive part of the roll – what else are they neglecting in their quality of food? I typically will order a Philadelphia Roll at all new sushi places I eat and go from there because of this. As long as 1/3 of the roll has salmon, I’m happy. If a place goes the extra mile to add a bit more, they have my kuddos. HOWEVER, I will avoid places that choose to cheat thier customers by making the roll as cheap as possible (I travel and eat sushi a lot – this happens but not as bad as my attached photos here). I get I ordered this off the half priced menu, but I would rather pay a buck or two more for a well-made roll than be provided the illusion of a deal for something that isn’t what I agreed to pay for.
I don’t know if it was the chef, manager, or owner than has decided to lower thier quality of service/food, but it has gone downhill since I first started eating there and I am thoroughly disappointed.
