Giving 5 stars because they are a newly established restaurant & seem to genuinely be putting in effort to make improvements/adapt to feedback. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful!
We dined around 8:30 pm on a Saturday night. There were a decent amount of people inside the restaurant, but we were greeted and seated immediately. The space was very clean, with ample lighting.
Our server took our drink order right away and promptly answered questions regarding dietary restrictions. I am gluten free & dairy free. Unfortunately, they really do not have many gluten free options. The ramen broths have gluten and the majority of their rolls contain gluten. They were able to leave the ponzu out of the peppered tuna, and originally offered gluten free soy sauce...however when brought to the table, the bottle had wheat listed. The owner apologized and said he would be sure to get gluten free soy sauce asap.
I ordered the Green Peace roll without the sweet chili sauce (contains gluten), salmon sushi (2 pieces), and tuna avocado roll. All and all I was very impressed with the quality of the fish. It was very fresh! The cuts were also well done. I thought the rice was a bit heavy on the rolls and just a tad too sticky. Produce was very fresh & presentation great on the Green Peace roll. All & all delicious...although missing the umami of soy sauce.
Prices were very reasonable and comparable to other restaurants of similar quality. Our server always made sure our waters were filled and was very attentive. Food came out quickly!
As someone who is gluten free, I'm not sure I will come back often, as I can find more variety at other sushi restaurants nearby. However, their menu has a great variety if dining with children or adults who are not interested in eating sushi. Overall, a great addition to Powell & wish them all the best on their journey! read more
