I can only review a limited selection from my one and only visit to this place. The atmosphere should have been a tip-off from the start, it was more americanized Chinese restaurant and less sushi bar.
We started with the miso soup - gritty, bland, rather reminded me of swamp water; and spring rolls which had a hint of cooked apple in the smell, they were palatable if dipped in the sauce that is served on the side.
Sadly, then came the sushi. I started with yellow tail nigiri. The tuna was obviously shipped frozen and had a hint of citrus flavor, the rice was sticky and wet, and there was no presentation. In fact, the worst thing I can say about this is that it came with a second piece (which I left untouched).
I also ordered a scorpion roll. The description sounded great, but again it did not deliver. "Two rolls in one" the page declared, but the roll itself was barely bigger around than my thumb. It was topped with shrimp that I'm pretty sure came from a Wal-Mart cocktail. The softshell crab was so small that the meat wasn't visible, much less detectable to the taste buds. The rice was more of the same. There was no avocado, no crab stick, no masago - probably all blessings as they would likely have just enhanced the existing flavors.
My friend ordered the Okinawa roll as well, and well, he wished he hadn't, but I can't review it.
I hate to leave without saying something positive, so I will say that both the hostess and our waitress were friendly and attentive - but obviously used to people not finishing their meals.
