I ordered the Sunset Strip and amaebi (sweet shrimp); I got the amaebi because they were out of uni (sea urchin). In any case, I liked the amaebi that I had today more than the sweet shrimp I had at Gesshin, both the body and the head.
As for my Sunset Strip, it was delicious, I enjoyed the texture, and the spicy mayo tasted great.
Menu Description:
Sunset Strip Roll: hamachi, mango & unagi inside, tuna & salmon on top with house sauce
In addition to my order, I had a piece of the King Kong, which Josh ordered, and thought it tasted good.
Menu Description:
King Kong Roll: soft shell crab, crab meat, avocado, unagi, tobiko on top
However, the tobiko (flying fish roe) with quail egg was the best. The softness of the smelt egg with the bursting yolk was pure joy swimming in my mouth. They're so good that I'd be crazy not to get a full order of it for myself the next time I come.
While the quality ranged from good to great, the service was very unbalanced. Perhaps the establishment expects their customers to share sushi, but most everybody at our table of seven ordered for him/herself and the food came out in the order that the food was ordered. In other words, the second end of the table was waiting for food while the first end started eating, and then the first end of the table was done and waiting for the second end to finish eating. 7:17PM PT
