Unfortunately this was a total fail for me. Ordered homemade spring rolls, under sea roll,gyoza and green tea bubble tea
Homemade spring rolls have tons of meat, it's more like a small burrito. I prefer mine to be lighter, this is the heaviest spring roll I have ever been served. To me, it was gross. Like a small fried burrito with pulled pork or chicken. Just not for me. Would not order again, would not recommend.
Under the seas roll, looked beautiful, taste not so much. It's too much squished together with a creamy sauce on the top. I've been going to sushi restaurants for years and I had to spit this out. Absolutely beautiful, but toe, between too many textures and the creamy sauce on top, it was just gross. Excessive but not in a good way
Gyoza were very good, very delicate not overly fried or overly heavy
Green tea bubble tea- really, really sweet. Tastes more like a Starbucks dessert type drink. Too sweet for any real green tea flavor to come thru. This was a gift someone sent me as a delivery and I feel bad they paid so much money. The only item I could recommend is the gyoza, fried. The rest was a total disappointment. I was really looking forward to it. The sushi was stunning, but I literally spit out the first bite and threw the rest away. Sad :( will kot order delivery from here again or order in person. Spring rolls really were not spring rolls at all. It was almost like a BBQ roll or something. Disappointed and sad my friend wasted that much money. I've gotten better from average restaurants. I would suggest trying another restaurant if you want lighter foods. I ended up throwing everything away but the gyoza. So almost $40 spent and I'm still hungry and disappointed. I can't remember the last time I actually had to spit out a piece of food because of the...
   Read moreI grew up in Japan because I'm from a military family and this is some amazing sushi. I'm not sure where these people are coming from with reviews less than five stars. Show me a better sushi restaurant in the area.
I'm used to going to sushi bars in Japan where there's all kinds of variety due to the fish being caught that morning. These chefs are trying to get as many plates from their fish as possible so there's not much per bite of sushi or sashimi. This place? The sashimi slices were a solid half an inch thick for comparative sushi bar prices in Japan. Which means you're getting more food for your dollar.
The fish here is also very high quality. Granted, you can't order 50 types of sushi on rice and as many sashimi bites like in Japan. But this goes for quality over quantity and it really delivers. I've never really had fish melt in my mouth before but there wasn't any chewing happening to my salmon at all.
The miso soup is absolutely on point, something I've seen get mangled by lesser chefs here in Alabama. The atmosphere is very authentic too and I felt like I'd stepped into a restaurant back home. Honestly, I can't remember a time a restaurant made me stop missing my home. It's really super top tier.
Absolute 10/10 5 stars from...
