Under new management so lots of growing pains. It was obvious within the first few minutes. Feel bad for the two stars, but I don't want to sugar coat.
Service was slow because the the wait staff was new and there was only one sushi chef which was also the manager. It didn't look too good because he was managing the team and trying to teach/call out their mistakes while he was making the sushi orders for the whole restaurant. Another sushi chef came in to help but he was in and out of the kitchen. It was a bit chaotic.
The fish quality is good, but unfortunately it gets muted out by the wet rice (need to work on their sushi rice as its too wet, has potential) and the ratio of the rice. The tuna carpaccio (€13.80) sauce was way salty. It was more of a miso sauce versus the vinegar mizu-like sauce. The sauce overpowers the sushi instead of complementing.
Usually for me, a sushi house like this is either good with salmon or tuna...not both. For this place the salmon is better.
Ordered the sashimi set (€23.60) and came with three pieces of tuna and salmon and four pieces of a white fish topped with fish eggs. Not really worth it.
All in all the prices are pricey for what you get and also the rice is not good. They do have potential because the sushi quality is okay.
They are in fact under new management. He hopes it'll be better in the new year.
At the end of dinner we wanted to pay by card and the waitress said they didn't accept cards for the evening. So we had to run out to the ATM. I said there should be a sign outside for this... She said there was one on the door, so then I felt it was my fault for not looking. But then she came back and said the sign isn't there anymore. Therefore, annoyed. And also...put one up! The wait staff just were so clueless...nice and sweet, but just not on it. The manager/chef was right there and I'm sure he was aware of this, an apology for the inconvenience would of been nice.
You can try this place out and see how it turns out as they get themselves together. I probably won't be back as sushi is a novelty around these parts and I want to go somewhere where it's a sure thing (ie. Tatsumi). read more
