I don't know if they just don't care about being environmentally conscious or are too lazy to wash cups, but getting water in a to go cup INDOORS was very strange and very wasteful. We were served water in plastic to go cups and given plastic soy saw dishes. the Volcano roll was bland, the kids avocado rolls were messy, the sweet-and-sour chicken was okay. Over an hour in total before our food arrived from the time we got there, and I had 2 small kids with me. It seems like the focus of this restaurant is to be a bar and not a sushi restaurant. Finally a server came over and apologized for the wait and said they're totally disorganized there. After waiting 20 minutes I went and asked the hostess if we could get a server. I keep trying this location and I'm always disappointed. I was a regular of California Rollin the original in Village Gate. I hope you guys come upon better times… but inflating prices and making the quantities tiny… this is not the way. Judging from what I received, there is NO WAY their rice-plates are in the high 20s range of quality. Seeing the prices for chicken and beef in the $20-$30 dollar range raised some red flags for me. I came in tonight craving a Japanese hot-plate, maybe some teriyaki or noodle plate. Sadly, it left me still hungry and unbelieving of the costs.

She was polite, prompt and swung by after about 10 minutes to check on the meal.ģ rolls, a miso soup, a hot tea and an order of hot sake should have left me full and waddling out of the restaurant. Look, I get it, you want to discourage “exchanges” and “substitutions”, but these are identically priced and on the same line as the same roll! They wanted to charge me a fee for getting the brother/sister roll from the same line, with one different ingredient. Also, they list 2 rolls side by side on the menu, under the same price heading (all rolls are individually priced, these were placed together on the menu). Bear in mind, I don’t expect monstrous rolls, overflowing with ingredients… they should be bigger than my thumbs.Ĭost - For a 30+ dollar meal, I expected FAR more than I received. While they charge you for “full size restaurant rolls”, you get the wee little kids-table rolls. Quantity - You know those little thumb sized rolls you get from the grocery store, or the gas station? Yea, sadly, their rolls are this size. Taste - All 3 of my rolls were pleasant tasting, although extremely light on proteins. Read down the reviews from recently… they display a sad story of decreasing quantities and increasing bills. While the food is not unpleasant, you will not get a very good bang-for-your-buck here. TL:DR - I feel like this pleasant little restaurant is on hard time from the pandemic. And if you ever buy shrimp sashimi, know that each of those shrimp pieces cost the owner around $.30. But it seems I didn't have to do anything for this establishments model to fail. For a long time I didn't post anything because he has a wonderful family (a hardworking wife who is too good for him and always made up for his in appropriate brutishness) and I didn't want to possibly jeopardize their wellbeing because of him. The worst was when he used the word, 'gorilla,' to describe to me a mother of color who he witnessed correcting her child. I'm saying, I was regularly told his opinion on everyone of my female colleagues body's and what he thought they could do with them, or what he would do to them I walked out after many days of abuse and finally being scolded for throwing away bubble tea lid cups that had fallen on the dirty ground (instead of serving them). Behind the back wall the area is practically one big fire hazzard, with water boilers he let his kids play with unsupervised. While the sushi here seemed great, behind the scenes the owner made working there unsuitable for the 21st century. Walked past this establishment for the first time in a minute and saw they were closed.
