Ganbaru Sushi Gourmet — Restaurant in Oaxaca

This "sushi" restaurant is singularly the worst sushi I have ever eaten. The rice was dry, not fresh and I kind of doubt it's actually short grain white rice which is THE rice for making sushi. Correctly prepared sushi rice has a chewy texture. This was not it.

The gyoza were very small and served with a sweet (???) dipping sauce . The sauce for gyoza is always a mix of soy and rice wine vinegar.

My roll was awful. A tiny bit of nori inside. The point of the nori is for texture and flavor. The salmon had no flavor. How is this possible? The shrimps inside had zero flavor.. even the shape of the roll made it hard to eat. As I picked up a slice with my chopsticks, the slice fell apart , again, because the rice should have been the glue that held the roll together. And cream cheese????!!!!! Why???? Cream cheese is NEVER used in sushi.

Where was the pickled ginger??? Where was the wasabi paste? Even the soy sauce tasted as if it was diluted. I paid 250 pesos for flavorless, ill-prepared , mediocre food. If there isn't a Japanese man standing behind the counter preparing the sushi there is no point eating cat that restaurant. I'm sure the locals appreciate having a Japanese restaurant, but my sushi roll missed the target Truly the worst meal I have had in a decade. The boy server was distracted and goofed around with his fellow server. He needs training. . I would not recommend this place for sushi. Maybe their ramen, or teriyaki is ok, but definitely not...

The QR code for your menu is worthless...filled with ads and you never get to an actual menu, and, your FB menu page does not work at all...apart from that, the food and experience is worth going back for. Update....been back twice since this review for the food is good. However, the service has taken a downturn, so much so that I'm on the fence as to whether to go back again or not, even if the food is good...Slow, unattentive, and...

El servicio deja mucho que desear, por lo menos con la mesera que nos atendió a mí y a mi pareja, el día que fui, realmente no estaba lleno, me parece que tenían una reservación grande en un cuarto privado que tiene el restaurante por dentro, pero nada más, pero la chica llegaba casi casi a botar los platos, no los ponía con cuidado y se notaba que estaba como “enojada”, pedí la cuenta, cuando me cobró y al darme el ticket le dije “gracias, buenas tardes” a lo que ni me respondió y dijera mi novia su actitud fue como de “si si a la chingada”, ni siquiera nos voltio a mirar. Ahora en cuanto a comida, nuestra orden fue algo sencilla de dos sushis y un ramen, el sabor del sushi muy rico, nos encantó a mi pareja y a mi, pero el sabor del ramen, fue pasable, nada malo, ni nada extraordinario, estaba meh. Le quería dar 2.5 estrellas, pero google no me deja, las 2.5 estrellas que dejo es por la comida porque el servicio malo. Había otra chica que ella si se veía que atendía más amable. Yo trabajo en el sector restaurantero y a mí me daría pena atender de la forma en la que lo hizo la chica. Si un lugar me hace pensar dos veces antes de regresar, mejor no regreso, y es el caso de este lugar....
