My friends and I arrived about 1 pm, and the place started filling up quickly right after. She made several suggestions regarding the lunch menu (all of them good), and seemed to be familiar with all the items on the menu - which is pretty big! As for the food... absolutely delicious! I had the dragon roll, with chicken fried rice, miso soup, and pork dumplings. The servings are VERY ample and you will not walk away hungry! I suggest the bento boxes. VERY reasonably priced and a good sampling of everything. I especially want to call out the chicken fried rice. I don't know what they do differently, but it was above and beyond the best I've ever had - and I've eaten a LOT of fried rice in my lifetime.

Despite my sister not requesting for them to be replaced, the waiter brought them over shortly after bringing out the initial meal and excused herself for the mistake.

Alright, where do I even begin? Let's start with the appetizers…read more Steamed gyoza: Wow... zero flavor. It honestly tasted like grabbing a frozen bag of potstickers from Costco and throwing them in a steamer. Then they had the audacity to serve us a sauce with chamoy in it. Absolutely absurd for a restaurant with "sushi" in the name. Egg rolls: Super skinny, but surprisingly decent. They had a basic flavor and honestly didn't need sauce. I wouldn't compare them to Panda Express egg rolls, but they were okay. And then... the miso soup. Oh brother. If you were looking for the salt that was missing from the appetizers, it was ALL in the miso. Y'all remember that SpongeBob episode where he's screaming, "I need water!"? Yeah. One spoonful and my tongue shriveled up. So far: I would skip all three. Then came the Mango Fish Tostadas. Let's just skip everything in the name and call them Mystery No-Fruit Tostadas. No real flavor, just crunch followed by an unusual amount of mayo-based sauce. Nooooooo thanks. And if you're actually there for sushi, I'd honestly reconsider. A lot of the menu seems centered around fried rolls, heavy mayo sauces, and chamoy. If that's your thing, more power to you -- everyone has different tastes. But if you're looking for what I would consider a more traditional sushi experience, this was not it. At that point, I think they could just take "Sushi" out of the restaurant name and call it Madre. I took one bite of the tuna and literally couldn't bite through it. Then came this intense hot/fishy flavor. Sushi should not be served warm, and the tuna did not taste fresh to me at all. I couldn't do it. And the wasabi? It didn't even resemble the wasabi I'm used to. It was basically wet clay. Obviously, we ate one gyoza each and one spoonful of the miso soup. We didn't touch the rest. We let our waitress know what was going on--not rudely, but because we genuinely wanted to understand what we were being served. Even though we barely ate anything, we still paid for everything. The manager did speak with us and asked what was wrong, I offered for her to try each sushi so she could understand and she told me she doesn't like fish Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience for us. If you're looking for a more traditional sushi experience, this definitely wasn't what we expected. If you enjoy heavily fried rolls, lots of mayo-based sauces, chamoy, and that style of fusion food, you may actually enjoy this place. But if you're specifically looking for traditional sushi and fresh-tasting fish, this was not our experience. The sauces as well are just watered down with sugar, a hummingbird would do quite well with them. They also play very loud music that would not normally be found in a Japanese environment. Definitely will be saying what? What? A lot during conversations. Just sharing our experience so people know what to expect before they go.
