This place is NOT for those with food allergies/sensitivities. I asked for a spicy salmon and avocado roll, along with a cucumber salad. I let them know that I have a sesame allergy so there could not be any sesame seeds or sesame oil in my food. I also cannot eat gluten so I asked them to make sure that there were no gluten ingredients in my food. When I got my food there were sesame seeds on the cucumber salad, and the roll was plain salmon with avocado, not spicy. I requested for the food to be fixed and I saw one of the sushi chefs attempting to remove the sesame seeds off of the cucumber salad until someone told him to make a new one. I was truly shocked to see the chef attempting to pick off the sesame seeds with the intention of returning the same food to me. The second sushi roll I got was a spicy salmon but missing avocado, however at this point I did not want to wait for another correction so I took it and did not say anything about that. After leaving with my to-go order, I realized that the imitation crab on top of my cucumber salad contained wheat, and my sushi roll had a sesame taste which I suspect could be from sesame oil although I triple checked with the chef to make sure there was none in there. For those who don't worry about food allergies or sensitivities, this place is likely fine for you. For those of us who do, I would highly advise not dining here. They do not take it seriously or have much knowledge about allergy ingredients...
Read moreWe were planning on going to Tomo Sushi which is our favorite in town, but they were closed so we came here to celebrate my mom's birthday since she wanted sushi. Took a gamble since we hadn't been before. We felt so badly that this was the experience we gave her. The waiter was the worst one we've probably ever had in our lives - extremely rude and unfriendly. We had an empty soy sauce bottle and told him and he grudgingly replaced it with the one from the table next to us. That one was empty too and we told him when he came back and he refuted back "no its not I just checked it!" We calmly told him it was in fact empty. He checked it at the table and lo and behold, empty. Didn't apologize, just stormed off to refill it and when he finally brought it back, he put it on the table and walked off without a word. The sushi was not good either. The rolls were huge and all fell apart while trying to eat them. Could barely fit each piece in our mouths. Waiter again just put the rolls on the table and walked off - didn't tell us which roll was which, something simple that every other sushi restaurant does nor did he ever ask if we needed anything throughout the entire dinner. Must note it was not busy as we were the only people there on a Sunday night. We still feel so terrible for my sweet mom that this horrible experience was her birthday dinner....
Read moreWow! My new favorite sushi restaurant! I cant believe these guys are right down the street! My husband and I tend to be food snobs and we were not let down in the least. We were greeted with a complementary salmon cerviche appetizer upon arrival which we were delighted to taste was more Japanese than what we traditionally get with other more Latin style ceviche. We also ordered the yellowtail carpaccio, the heart attack stuffed jalapenos, the tuna ahi tower no rice, and the Omakashe which included 14 sashimi style chef's choice fish. Everything was perfect and we could tell that much attention is given to the quality of the seafood. The cuts were the correct size and the consistency of each were exactly what good sashimi is supposed to be...melt in your mouth and not chewy like you find at some texas sushi places. This is a place we could bring our California sushi snob friends and be proud! And the chef even came out and gave us the rundown on each of the fish...AND it also came with a fresh authentic wasabi (slightly pickled maybe) in addition to the traditional paste. Wow! So good! Needless to say,...
