I don’t usually leave a review or at all, even if it is really bad. Well, my favorite place here that I’ve visited for years, has extremely disappointed me so much that I just can’t justify a next visit ever again. Ordered at 4:50pm(opens at 5pm) for pickup at 5:30pm
I’ve ordered:
Garlic Roll
Nigiri Seared Salmon x 2
Nigiri Yellow Tail x 2
Nigiri SkipBack x 2
First off, the rice was taken out too early. If you have a rice cooker, you’ll know how it tastes and feel when the moment you take it out after it finishes. It felt soggy with a bit of crunch. That goes for both the roll and nigiri I’ve ordered. I think rice is just as important if not more than the fish itself..
Secondly, the nigiri I’ve ordered did not taste fresh. There is no savory-ness and is really bland. If I were to close my eyes, I couldn’t tell you which is what... Rice was bland and did not taste sweet like sushi rice should. I’m sure the roll and nigiri are from the same rice, undercooked.
Thirdly, how old are leftover sushi from earlier the day??? Why is the tuna so dark?? Shouldn’t this “skipjack” tuna be a bit red-brown???
Sad to say but for $80, the rice could have at-least been better. I just can’t see myself visiting a place I’ve liked for years that did extremely poor on this delivery of sushi. Just don’t order or be here right when they open, you’ll most likely get their scrap and rushing. No matter what price range you pay($5 a piece per nigiri), quality won’t be checked and you’ll just have to be lucky to get fresh quality ones. I’ve had bad nigiri but not this rice-bad.
Not sure what happened in today’s order or if it is just bad timing, but I’ve had better in previous visits(10+) and enjoyed every visits besides today.
