Moonrise Spirit & Sushi — Restaurant in El Paso

Dropped to 4 stars because the sushi rice was way overcooked and was not seasoned well. Cream cheese was way too much compared to the rest of the ingredients inside the rolls. We were recommended for the specials. They were $3 each roll. Which is great but I would not go again. We got the El Paso, Panko, Salmon, Aloha, Borederland and Manchego. The eel sauce and spicy mayo is given to you on the side. Ginger, soy sauce and Wasabi are all given by request. Thank goodness because the flavor would be missing. The staff was fantastic!! They suggested meals, appetizers and drinks. He did explain how certain dishes were made. That is nice knowing how much knowledge he had with the menu. They were very busy, but very nice and constantly making sure we were okay. We did come during the rush and waited 25 minutes. No big deal. Considering all the new covid rules its fine. The reason I gave 3 stars is because of how they cleaned. They wiped down the tables and chairs with a disinfectant spray and used the same rag they used to wipe the menus. They never changed the rag or cleaned it after cleaning 3 tables. With all the covid stuff happening it would be wise to clean/rinse the rag and/or just use paper towels for...

Rice was dry and over pressed on the rolls, nigiri, and the shrimp teriyaki plate. The highway roll had almost no crab in it, and had no discernable amount of eel in it and completely forgot to put the sauce on it. The pirate roll was the best of the sushi, but still fell flat because of the rice. Salmon slices for the nigiri had good portion and tasted fresh, also suffered from the rice. The eel nigiri was terrible with almost no grilled eel on it, had no sauce at all, and again, the rice. The gyoza dumplings were good, along with the dipping sauce served with it. The shrimp tacos were quite bland, even with everything on it. There was a mild improvement to them when I substituted the chipotle sauce for yum yum sauce and siracha. The service also lacked quite a bit, and the server never delivered wasabi to the table as requested. Overall, I would not recommend this establishment for a lunch. Dinner service might be a bit better. Their alcoholic...

This place might close down soon.Went to eat with a group of friends, waitress didn't write down our order. seemed strange bc we were a party of 5 we all got more than a diff roll. I even made a comment how she had " good memory" sure enough she forgot one of my friends order. we waited and waited and the girl seemed to go home bc we never saw her again. How weird is that??? The only man standing there never checked on us. we flagged him down told him were missing some orders brought it back within 2 min?? so strange, either way our bill was a bit high over 160 I believe. it was 5 rolls and two ramen and 4 drinks... I used to love this place. Man had no manners. I believe he's the owner. Never thanked us . Didn't say a single word. He seemed sad or mad or tired, I felt...
