So first of all there's no dine in, just takeout, which is fine. But what really got me was the rice and the price. It was $22 for a few pieces of nigiri. One of the biggest things I judge sushi places on is the rice and the taste of the fish. The fish was okay, average. Good large serving of salmon slices , but nothing to write home about. But where it fell apart was the rice. The rice tasted too old and tough, like it was either not cooked through all the way or was dried out too much. The flavor in the rice was also negligible.
