Oh Baby Sushi - Sunnyvale — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

Nice, seemingly unassuming sushi restaurant tucked into a tiny corner plaza close to the suburbs. Not a lot of decorations or premium dishware inside, but "if you're here for the fish you'll get good fish" (my date). Also, friendly staff.

Miso soup: piping hot, albeit sweeter than other places I've been? Not bad though.

Veggie tacos (free today in exchange for an honest review): nice & refreshing! I like the filling: corn, tomatoes & such. The base crisp felt a tiny bit cold / stale, wish they would fry it fresh, but still a delightful couple of bites.

Heart attack roll: tasty, classic. Nice quality ingredients, definitely could order again!

Deluxe chirashi bowl: today, came with ebi, hamachi tuna, Hokkaido scallop, Santa Barbara uni, salmon chutoro, otoro, butterfish, & kampachi (?). Again, high quality ingredients! Though maybe could've been sliced better? Some slices had slightly chewier bits? I'm no sashimi expert though. Really enjoyed the paired toppings, and the sushi rice was nicely & lightly flavored (slight bit of truffle? Can't tell). Also, maybe as I'm newer to sashimis, I couldn't tell immediately what order to eat everything in. Maybe the fish could be ordered from lean to fatty, as I've seen elsewhere? Or was it ok to be choose-your-own-adventure? Anyways! Enjoyable. I'd order again for a special occasion, but honestly getting a ton of rolls also seems nice.

I don't usually leave reviews but the rating was so detached from my experience so I had to say something.

The waitresses were very polite but food took forever to come out. 25+ minutes for our sushi when the restaurant was half full. I can't imagine how long the wait will be when the restaurant is full.

Even though we didn't order miso soup and salad, they served it to us on the house which was great! However, I think this is the first time having sweet miso soup (tasted like they added sugar? Why??) and it actually lowered my expectations of the food.

The price of sushi seems way higher than the quality of the fish - the deluxe chirashi bowl was $60.95, felt like it should have been closer to $35-45.

After 20+ minutes, the chef came by to tell us that the shrimp was not fresh enough for them to serve us and asked if it was ok to substitute for scallop which I was grateful for them being honest.

However if they check for freshness.. how did the double toro roll ($27.95) have such a bad batch served to us? You can see from the photo of the roll, the right half is way brighter than the left - and we could taste the difference very clearly. (For some reason) this roll has mango and the left batch only...
