Slow service, good food

Service: Stopped in for a nice dinner on a Tuesday evening. It wasn’t too busy but the wait service is slow. The host sits you quick, the assistant brings you water and cleans the tables quickly, after your order is taken the food comes out quick (brought by the assistants) but the waiters are slow to get your order.

Food: Soft shell crab app, 4 pieces of sushi, and 1 6 piece roll. $50 If you’re going to spend more on better sushi, I feel that its better to go a la carte. I got a scallop, sweet shrimp, king crab, and eel piece. My favorite was the eel which was shocking as it was the least expensive. It was slightly warm which made it almost like a mini unagi don. Sweet sauce and tender meat. I will definitely be coming back for that. Second favorite was the scallop which was a nice thicker piece and tasted perfectly buttery. The sweet shrimp was great and a nice treat once in a while. I wouldn’t recommend the crab, it might not have thawed enough or something, but it didn’t mold to the rice and just fell off when being picked up or trying to eat it. It is real crab though, and tasted fine. Like those crab claws that you would find at a buffet.

Soft shell crab was good and came over a bed of lettuce with a ponzu dressing. So you get a salad with it, which is a nice touch. It was pretty but I’ve had better elsewhere.

I’d just skip the rolls all together unless you can’t handle the actual taste of raw fish. It tastes the same as any generic Japanese sushi place for about 30% less. The seaweed was also slightly soggy so that it didn’t crunch or break easily when eating.

TLDR: Waive down the waiter as soon as you’re ready to order or you’ll be sitting there all night. Skip the roll and get the actual sushi pieces/sashimi. It’s a great place that I’ll be back to when I’m not cranky from a long day of work and want my food fast.
