This place is nice. It is very pricey for dinner, mind you haha. The sushi is made really well with fresh fish and the rolls are humongous, packed with a lot of rice so that's gonna make you really full, especially once you drink water. My group of friends and I shared food and we got the tonkatsu, krispy roll, crunch shrimp tempura roll, red dragon roll, and the I love you roll (this name is too kawaii, I had to end my list with it hehe). The tonkatsu was lightly breaded to a crisp surrounding a sturdy pork loin. It wasn't too chewy and came with a side of special tonkatsu sauce, which wasn't much my cup of tea because it was like a mix of tangy and sour for soy sauce-- not my type of combination. The pork on its own still tastes good. Krispy roll was half cooked, half raw. I don't eat my sushi raw, so I wish they would label their rolls cooked VS raw so that guests like me can differentiate between the two instead of guessing from the description. I assumed it was cooked since it was deep fried, but the ahi tuna and salmon inside was left raw. You played me well, Densetsu lol. Nonetheless, it is still very delicious and I'd recommend it if you can eat any type of sushi, but I would pass on this one even though it's not as bad as a fully raw sushi or sashimi. The crunch shrimp tempura roll was my pick and it was my favorite. Your typical crunch roll minus excessive breading with added shrimp tempura. Absolutely delicious and the crab meat was superb. Red dragon roll is a little bit spicy, so be careful on this one. If you love spice, you'll handle it well. This one has a ton of mayo, by the way. Last, but not least, the I love you roll-- much simpler than the rest of the sushi, mild taste, and it has tamago (egg) in it!
Overall, I think that Densetsu has amazing food presentation, but they love to deck out their sushi with rice and special house sauce and mayo. If you love your sushi drenched in mayo, then say hello to Densetsu. Otherwise, after a while of plenty of these type of rolls, your stomach will start to get queasy. Just be on the lookout on the menu to see what goes into your sushi to balance out your meal proportionately.
We also ordered dessert which was the green tea ice cream and that fed all four of us in my party. They give it to you in a large bowl shaped martini glass topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup and a bright red cherry on top. The green tea ice cream was mild and it was a lovely light dessert to end our meal! Every person gets a complimentary orange as their palate cleanser so that's nice and healthy to make up for that sea of mayo we drank from the sushi.
Ambience here is formal-casual. You can go either way. Not too brightly lit for dinnertime for that sensual, intimate atmosphere with your date-- and by date, I mean the sushi ;) Hot bomb diggity.
Service was attentive and gently polite.
As nice as this restaurant is, my boyfriend prefers simple sushi without the try-hard mayo additions, so we are likely not to return. I personally would not mind coming back, but the pricing is almost as ridiculous as the back of yo head. I'm just kidding. It is wallet crushing, though. But check it out if you're a balluh or if you want to Instagram fancy-looking sushi. I think at least one visit here should be enough to be in the know. Thanks for dinner tonight, Densetsu! Maybe I'll see you again, maybe I won't. But you ain't too bad *fist bump* read more
