Great quality sushi but at a price
I don't mean to be a sushi snob, but heck maybe i am. We don't partonize those boat type sushi joints unless my 3 year old daughter is having her fit. With that being said, we ordered off the 'today's specials' list. Aji (spanish mackarel, hirame (founder) and kampachi (amberjack) were on there so we tried some. Portion wise, the cuts were ok, enough to cover the rice. Not like the sizes we are used to at Sushi Bistro. The aji wasn't the best I've had, so as for it being on the specials list it was a little stretch. The hirame was good, and he did a little thing with some rock salt, lemon and daikon that was really nice. As far as rolls go, we had the Fusion roll. Different taste and good as well. I would recommend this roll. Scallop with shrimp tempura and avocado mixed with other goodies. YUM. The ankimo tataki was way over priced although had excellent presentation. Whatever you do, don't get the 'chef's choice sampler sushi'. Its just your typical sushi sampler, that you don't need a chef to decide what's in it. It had your staples - octopus, shrimp, salmon, tuna, amberjack and egg. Why would a chef choose those aside from them being your calmer sampler of sushi.
For drinks my wife tried the shochu sampler. 3 different types of shochu. Kinda like sake but made from barley instead of rice. I had a Japanese imported beer that I never saw in any sushi/Japanese restaurant here or in the US for that matter. The beer was good, smooth yet a little wheaty.
In the end, we ate quite a bit, but paid a hefty price for it. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Yuzu a 7.5.
