Place was clean and not over crowded but I went for an early lunch in a Saturday so not sure what crowd would be like for dinner. Only issue was my edamame appetizer came after my sushi and it was overcooked. Everything else was excellent.

Ok, people this is not a true Japanese restaurant. I ate…read moretoday at this establishment, maybe Monday is not a fresh day for seafood. The house salad had a very glutinous texture, not appealing. The waiter didn't seem to know about the menu, hence the reason I ended up with an equally unappealing overcooked tuna. I asked for hamachi yellow-tail sushi, what I received was not edible. Ok, let's go to the roll; mushy rice, unrecognizable tuna? What can I saw, the beer was cold, the sake was hot. I would expect much more!

We informed her that she had an allergy and that she messed up. She looked clueless and didn't know what to do. We weren't given any compensation (although the meal was $5, so that's fine). Although the food was fine, the service was not great.

I'd like to say that the service is great. Staff Jason (i believe is his name) is super friendly…read moreand attentive. My husband and i went during lunch, and if was dead. We were the only customers with doordash orders coming through. The furniture are quite old. All the seats/ booths were pretty much ripped and uncomfortable. We ordered one spicy salmon roll and the sashimi deluxe. Food came out in a timely manner. However the rice was cold as if it just came out of the fridge. The spicy salmon roll would've been excellent if fresh rice was used. The sashimi cut was very generous. However a few pieces of the fish were either dry with no taste or it was extremely fishy. The miso soup was bland and tofu was quite big. I'm used to soft tofu but the soup had firm tofu so it tasted weird. The ginger dressing for the salad tasted like spicy mayo with chunks of ginger. Definitely different from normal salad any sushi place would offer. We weren't aware of the owner change. But the food is definitely different and not the same. Overall we left with a decent bill. But it'll probably be our last visit.

From our table adjacent to the sushi chefs I observed way too much filth for comfort. Again, I should have turned around and left. But being the eternal optimist, we stayed. We ordered one California Roll as an appetizer and two hot meals: Pork Katsu and Tempura Shrimp. The only dish I recommend is the Tempura Shrimp. The California Roll was disappointing, as the rice was too hard/crunchy.....not at all what I have experienced in the past. I have to agree with another yelpers review that said "I've had better sushi from a supermarket." The pork in the Pork Katsu was very very tough. And the rice on the side was similarly hard like the sushi rice. The only dish worth ordering was the Tempura Shrimp. It was not greasy and included a large array of fried vegetables. La Crosse deserves better than Sushi Pirate.

Sushi while land locked might not be the best idea on a Tuesday night. It tasted like and looked like grocery store sushi. Plus, the salmon tasted off so I dumped a roll without eating more. The spicy crab mix was ok. I poked it out and ate it. The jalapeño popper things were delicious. The Mongolian beef looked tasty but I didn't order that. Maybe that would be better for my next try. I suspect I just ordered poorly. The restaurant was packed with people. I will try something different next time.

I will say this is the first Japanese restaurant I've gone to that did not serve miso soup but egg drop instead? One person in our group ordered a green curry that they said was really good. So throw in some Thai also. Sushi was really good we ordered a few rolls and shared. The service was good however we felt rushed and like we were irritating the waitress with our questions so not impressed with service. Make sure you request wasabi with your sushi as they don't bring the ginger and wasabi automatically. We would definitely go back and maybe wait staff was overwhelmed as it was quite busy. The food we received was all good and no complaints it is a little louder than most Japanese restaurants.

Not like 5 stars good, but deff hit the spot on a cold day. I have to highlight the waitress that was working. She was the only person working and running the entire front of house her self. Managing 7 different tables without any help, kudos to her. Absolutely killing it. I believe her name was Rianna.
