I didn't understand what all the hoopla was about with this place that locals kept recommending. Yes it's a pretty big place to find a lot of Japanese goods not to mention the bakery in the back that has some tasty pastries. It appears to be the place to go for sushi and ready made dishes that are kept cold. I was not impressed. The sushi was mediocre but I guess for the price it's ok.

It's tasteless, unappealing to the eye, and honestly tastes nothing like clam chowder. It tastes almost like someone was attempting to make chicken soup and dumped in clams and thickened it. I do not recommend it. Perhaps people's taste buds are altered due to the pandemic and the lack of available places to eat. I do absolutely love the dough of their siopao... fluffy...

ย ย ย Read moreUsed to really love this place. It has a lot of Japanese imported items that I love to buy. I used to be a big fan of their sushi but every time I buy a california roll I always seem to get their "defective" products. Not only does the avacado seem to be weird with the brown and black bruises on it, but I also got an extra shrimp in my food. Now normally people would brush off getting shrimp in their california roll, but this pack does not mention having shrimp nor previously served shrimp in it. Not only that, I am very allergic to shrimp and have had reactions after accidentally consuming the shrimp in the california rolls. I'm not sure why it's just their california rolls, but I will no longer be buying it. Their other foods seem to be...
