My "spring roll" was not a spring roll at all, but a deep fried tiny egg roll. My Tempura veggies were so overcooked and over battered that between the two of us, we were unable to eat them. Wish we had a camera to shoot photos. To top it all off, the bill was $42.00, $50.00 with tip. We are both sick from the deep-fried mess that was served to us. They need to learn to cook Japanese.

It came from an episode of the All In The Family tv show. Archie told a story about being so poor, at one point as a kid he had just one shoe and one boot. Shoe. Boot. The kid's nicknamed him ShoeBootie. Well alright. Loved the decor and atmosphere. We sat in a downstairs booth in the main first aisle. Cozy and great for people watching. When the a/c kicked on it got a tad chilly but I didn't mind. I started out with a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. Absolutely delicious. Nice chunks of sweet lobster meat. Semi-creamy with a hint of heat spice. The three of us shared a Baked Crab, Artichoke & Spinach Dip. It was very good. Not a lot of crab taste I thought. I loved the spinach tortilla chips. Thin, lightly fried, they broke nicely. I opted for the Prime Rib Philly. Dipped into a cup of Au Jus, just right. One friend got the Cranberry Turkey Melt. She enjoyed it. Her daughter got the Fish & Chips. The fish, cod, was bland and tasteless, even with the fried tempura batter. I tried a bite, agreed it lacked flavor. Overall a nice midday lunch experience.

Whatever their signature broth is, took away from the lobster. I tried adding some salt to get a little more flavor, but honestly, I was very disappointed. My wife got the Crab legs and she also thought it lacked flavor. Honestly the most flavorful item we had was the fries with the sauce. That sauce is really good. Also, unfortunately, we had to hear a supervisor call the bartender out right in front of us while sitting at the bar. Just not really the most pleasant experience.

But instead of taking it back and redoing it, the chef clearly just took the meat out and put a piece of tofu in it. They didn't offer to comp the dish or anything. The only response I got was "would you like me to bring the check" by the server. I wasn't being rude about it at all, but she was clearly uncomfortable. If I was vegetarian for religious reasons I would be absolutely livid. Alas, all I can do is write this review. Avoid if vegetarian--chef seems to disagree with the diet choice.

The menu offers several Asian dishes and a few dishes that are not so anyone can find something to eat. We ordered several meals that included sushi, fried rice, hibachi style, soups, and appetizers that included egg rolls and crab rangoons. Food was passed around and shared by all, everything was delicious. We ordered sake and several cocktails as well and the ones I tried I enjoyed! The service was great. We had a large party of 7 and not one thing was wrong or missing with what we ordered. Drinks were refilled often and when reordering cocktails they arrived quickly. The lighting was dim, but not too much that you couldn't see what you were eating. Bathrooms were clean. The dining area was a mix of booths and tables.

But hey--sometimes you just have to roll with it (I'll see myself out). We ordered a bunch of rolls to share and... what?! They were actually really good. Super fresh ingredients, rice that was seasoned like someone actually cared, balanced flavors, and that magical combo of creamy, crunchy, and chewy. Honestly, we were impressed--and kind of shocked. The vibe? Meh. The lighting was doing weird things (don't blame us if our food photos look like they were taken on Mars). Service was friendly, but here's the twist: we wanted more sushi, but the chef was apparently tired. At 7pm. On a Thursday. Meanwhile, across the street? People are partying like it's 1999--dancing, drinking, singing karaoke. That's some potential sushi business just walking right on by. Bottom line: weird lighting, sleepy sushi chef, great rolls. For a tiny town? This place punches way above its weight. BTW, there are two Yelp entries for this business
