Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I had been wanting to try this place out for a long time and it was only okay. I've dined in twice now and if someone really wanted to come, I would probably play along, but I will not seek this place out on my own.
The atmosphere and décor is very nice. The bathrooms are even bathed in blue light until you turn the lights on- very interesting and actually quite safe. There is a bar area, the tables are very bright and there are clean lines. Overall, a great atmosphere.
Service is very friendly. You may need to wait to be seated, but I've only come for late lunches, so they may have more staff at other times. The servers have been very sweet and the food has come out fast. Unfortunately, on both of my visits, it took a very long time to get my check. Servers were MIA for the later half of service. I was more prepared the second time and brought cash.
On my first visit I got a chicken katsu bento and some nigiri. The rice and California roll were fine on that visit. My chicken was overcooked so some of it was quite rubbery. It was alright for being in the $10 range, but I get bento boxes a lot and expected much more.
I got the salmon and red snapper nigiri, those are my favorites and they were both in the $5 range. The fish had a semi frozen texture, but somehow tasted too fishy. I was disappointed.
I read through the reviews and the happiest were with Chinese food and the rolls. I decided to come a couple of months later and try to rolls to give them a fair shake. I ordered their lunch special (choose 2 rolls) getting the salmon and a California roll.
The rolls are only okay, the sushi isn't very high quality. It's not bad, but about what you would get at a Kroger. The California roll was better than the salmon, which was surprising. The salmon was better than the last time, about average quality. However, something was weirdly bitter and crunchy in the roll, the cucumber perhaps? I also tried the salad on this visit. The dressing was too sweet for my taste, so I didn't eat much, but I thought the lettuce had a strangely crunchy texture too, not crisp, but hard.
Eh, it'll do in a pinch, but there are much better places around. I felt it was 2 1/2 stars overall and since I didn't try some of their most popular dishes, it only seems fair to round up.
Since sushi is in the name though, that's what I came for and was a bit let down. I would recommend Home Taste or Asahi for the Flower Mound area instead. read more
