At first glance, this establishment piques curiosity with its promising menu of Japanese offerings, yet the execution tells a different story. From the tepid reception of its take-out service, it appears that an emphasis on quality control might be lacking. The sushi rolls parade a struggle in craftsmanship, presenting themselves as loosely wrapped counterparts dotted with unexpected additions like chewy bits of onion. While sashimi is a staple delight for many seeking the fresh elegance of fish, here it appeared somewhat disheveled and hastily cut. Additionally, the skimpy portion of ginger accompanying the meal may leave aficionados wanting more.
Nonetheless, the venue retains a following from better days, suggesting potential for consistency and improvement.
