Miso Soup (Complimentary) - I think I can tell they use the pre-made packets. The soup was a little thin with a strange sour aftertaste, and the tofu pieces were very small, similar to the pre-packaged ones. It was complimentary, so I didn't really have any complaints, but it wasn't the perfect appetizer to start the meal.
Sweet Thai Tea - I love it when places nail this classic drink. I was feeling a little tired today and (I know it's bad), but I needed the sugar pick-me-up. This definitely hit the spot.
Eel Avocado Roll - I loved the flavor of this. These rolls are always inexpensive and still very delicious, making them an easy go-to whenever you don't know what to order. I also got this for my mom because she's a picky eater, and she had no issues with it.
Salmon Tempura Roll - The salmon was cooked, which caught me off guard since I was expecting raw salmon. The tempura was a bit oily and took up too much of the roll, leaving the filling pretty sparse. Because the inside was fairly bland, the sourness of the rice became more noticeable. This ended up being one of my least favorite rolls.
California Tempura Roll - I loved the presentation of this one. The slight sweetness was a pleasant surprise, and the filling itself was delicious. The downside was that there just wasn't much of it, so each bite felt less satisfying than I expected. The thicker tempura batter also made the roll feel increasingly oily the more I ate.
One small thing I noticed was that they initially gave us very little pickled ginger. We asked for more, and they happily brought out a generous serving. I assume they keep the first portion small because not everyone eats it, but they're more than willing to give you extra if you ask.
The atmosphere was pleasant, the music wasn't too loud, and the seats were cozy. Customer service was friendly, fast, and efficient.
Overall, my favorite part of the meal was actually the Thai tea because it hit my sweet tooth. The sushi wasn't overly impressive, but it also wasn't underwhelming. Even California Tempura Roll, one of the pricier rolls we ordered, still felt a bit skimpy on the inside. The prices were reasonable, though I wouldn't have minded paying a little more for better flavor and more generous fillings.
