  1. Great deep fried skewer, bad sushi
  2. Also, sushi are horrible.
  3. You can feel that the oil they are using is fresh.
  4. The rice was "squeezed" too hard which had ruined the whole sushi although the other ingredient (fish, uni, ikura) were really fresh and tasty.
  5. My Japanese friends said it's authentic, but both of me and my friend didn't like the sushi there.

Horrible Place

by Babydoll2009

If you find this place and want to go, don't, please don't. Inside is Japanese style which is very nice. However, the waitress doesn't speak English. Also, sushi are horrible. Sushi are made by Spanish guy. it is nothing agains Spanish people but i think Japanese people should make sushi and Spanish people should make Spanish food. Please don't go there. I don't know how this restaurant did not go out of business.

Great deep fried skewer, bad sushi

by cc75839n

Deep fried skewers are really good and light. You can feel that the oil they are using is fresh. Small plates (appetizer) are really good, too. My Japanese friends said it's authentic, but both of me and my friend didn't like the sushi there. The rice was "squeezed" too hard which had ruined the whole sushi although the other ingredient (fish, uni, ikura) were really fresh and tasty. Decor there is really "Japanese". They also have "tatami place" (the room that you can sit on floor.) Waitresses wear kimono... It's ok to go there once a while if you want to impress someone (it's pricy. we are two girl and we paid 100 in total.)

  • Pros: ambience
  • Cons: bad sushi
