We were excited to try Nosu Ramen, but unfortunately most of the dishes were disappointing. The…read morepork belly baos and the salmon bento were the only tasty dishes. The Karaage was decent but the dipping sauce was off. The pork belly ramen broth, which should be the heart and soul of any ramen place was overly salty with a weird flavor. The sesame dashi ramen was bland. The chicken katsu was dry, and the sauce was just wrong. The pickled radish and cauliflower that came with it was unnecessary and overwhelmingly vinegary. Pickling should enhance; this just assaulted. The bibimbap was less than memorable as well. Then there were the chopsticks. The cheapest wooden chopsticks imaginable - the kind that snap in unexpected places and in ways that make you question the physics of wood. A small detail, maybe, but it says something about how much a restaurant values the full dining experience. While the service itself was friendly and attentive, the overall experience didn't feel even remotely authentic. Not one of the staff were Asian which should have been an indication from the start.

First thing I noticed is that it's very clean and the decor is very pleasing to the eye. The menu is extensive and finely detailed. It was really hard to narrow down the choices to just a few. The miso soup was first rate. One of the better I've ever had. Our sushi came out about ten minutes after we ordered it and it was fresh, well plated and absolutely yummy. Our server was friendly and efficient. Our drinks were never dry and he knew the menu well. Parking was easy and it's a nice area of town. The only reason this wasn't a five star review is I felt the person that was allowed to sleep across the chairs in the very front of the dining room was tacky. It really took away from the overall ambiance and my eyes just couldn't stop being drawn to the situation.

Just a few steps down from the main food court and away from the loud noises and conversations, you can eat in peace and have a nice conversation with your friends. Mark Sushi, the name of the restaurant was named after the owner's young son, offers great options including fried dumplings, tempura, bento boxes, chicken bowls, and a large selection of sushi and sashimi. I ordered the mango avocado salad, which was filled with delicious and thinly slices of mango and avocado. This salad was very fresh! It contained fresh seaweed and leafy greens. Sesame seeds were added to the top of the salad. For $7, I don't think you can get a better salad than this one. My main entrée was the salmon bento box. The rice that was underneath these 5 pieces of salmon was very good. Along with the rice was the sauce, which gave the dish some great savory flavor, this part of the bento was delicious. My favorite? They were the pieces from the California rolls. As I ate these pieces, I loved the crunchiness from the cucumber, and the crab meat and the fresh avocado gave these 5 pieces a nice taste for my tastebuds. Oh? What about the broccoli tempura? Cooked to perfection. These florets were cooked in oil, but they were not oily. Not at all. The place is small. Perhaps no more than 25-30 diners, but the owner and his 2 staff members were very nice. He checked on us often, making sure our group is doing okay. If you are at Colorado Mills Mall and want to eat something other than some so-so food at the food court, walk toward Dick's Sporting Goods , which is Gate #5. There, you'll find a hidden gem you didn't even know. You will thank me.

Or were they slow to clean up? Either way, it looked messy and unclean. The chef's young child was running around behind the counter, and in and out of the kitchen. Not quite professional in appearance. As for the food. I got a spider roll that was very tasty. I also got salmon, tuna and unagi nigiri. To be honest, the pieces of fish were so big that it was almost impossible to eat the piece as one. The rice fell apart and made it a little difficult. I actually prefer some smaller pieces of fish, but even with that criticism, the fish was very tasty. When I go back again? I'm not sure. It was still almost $40 for lunch, which is a little high considering I only had water to drink.

Honey, before I begin this culinary TED Talk, let me explain why this glamazon even sashayed…read morethrough the door. I kept hearing whispers. Rave reviews. Local legends. So naturally I showed up to investigate with my appetite, my unrealistic and dramatic standards, and the emotional support personality of someone who writes sonnets about raw fish. I'm not here for dinner. I'm here for an experience. Possibly emotional closure. I adore sushi. Which means my expectations, even in a landlocked state, are higher than my credit card balance. The restaurant itself? Oh, she's that mysterious queen tucked into a strip mall like she's avoiding her ex. Tiny. Moody. Dimly lit. The kind of place you almost don't want to review because selfishly, you NEED your favorite table available. Reservations, darling. Don't test fate. This hidden gem has officially been outed. When the sushi arrives, it arrives it not on some precious little plate. On a giant wooden cutting board fit for a king, or queen (wink). Sharing is caring. Unless you touch my last piece. Then all bets are off sweetie. The service? Fabulous. My waiter, (only went by S on the receipt...odd) mastered the ancient art of appearing exactly when needed and vanishing before becoming part of the conversation. Attentive without hovering. Give that man an Emmy. I ordered the Red Dragon Roll:Salmon, yellowtail, and avocado tucked inside...then crowned with tuna, jalapeño, and sriracha. Now let's discuss Miss Thing. The slices were thick. THICK. Like that gorgeous hottie you deny eyeing. Decadent. Chewy. Gorgeous. My only complaint? Girl, my mouth did not sign the consent form. I tried to be elegant. One dainty bite. Then the entire roll exploded like it had unresolved family issues. Halfway through I abandoned etiquette and accepted that looking cute was no longer on today's agenda. The salmon? Baby, If salmon tastes like it has unresolved trauma from three Tuesdays ago, I'm calling the authorities. THIS salmon? Fresh enough to still have opinions. It practically looked at me and said,Girrrrrrll, did you see what that tuna was wearing? That's exactly the level of freshness I want. Now, the rice. Rice is the structural engineering of the sushi. It should faithfully escort my sushi all the way to my mouth before gracefully retiring from public service. Mine only fell apart because those glorious salmon slabs required a jaw unhinge worthy of a python. So today, the rice has been pardoned. Knife work? Every slice looked intentional. Like someone whispered apologies to the blade before making each cut. Were a few pieces larger than others? Maybe. But honestly, the only thing smaller than my patience is my mouth. (Side eye) How do I feel about Wasabi? Please don't flirt with me. Attack me. I want enough wasabi to make me briefly question every life decision that led me into this restaurant. I want polite volcano energy. Like finding a lit firecracker in your sock drawer while someone calmly says, Enjoy! Presentation? Listen...Everyone online wants tiny edible flowers with tragic backstories and microgreens raised by monks. This restaurant said, no. Here's your beautiful sushi. On a massive communal cutting board. Figure it out. Honestly? Kind of iconic. The sauces also deserve applause. Nothing was drowning beneath an avalanche of spicy mayo and eel sauce. Because once every roll tastes like sauce... Congratulations. You've invented sushi-flavored ranch. Creativity is wonderful. Restraint is sexier. How was the cleanliness? EXCUSE ME. This place was immaculate. I'm convinced tiny sushi ninjas silently materialize every few minutes to eliminate fingerprints before they even happen. Not one sticky soy sauce bottle. Not one questionable table. Not one crumb living rent free. Ten out of ten. No notes. And the sushi chefs Calm.Focused. Mysterious. Absolutely looked like they've silently judged forty thousand chopstick techniques and still wake up disappointed in humanity. Next visit I'm ordering the nigiri. If the chef hands it to me with one solemn nod like they're entrusting me with ancient forbidden knowledge, I'm legally obligated to cry. Finally... The bill. Expensive sushi? Perfectly acceptable. This place actually felt refreshingly reasonable. Because my personal rule remains undefeated: If six pieces of salmon cost the same as my monthly car payment... That salmon better know my name, my zodiac sign, and ask how my mother is doing. Final Verdict: Hidden gem? Absolutely. Fantastic fish.Great service. Immaculate restaurant. Generous portions.Zero gimmicks. Just excellent sushi quietly minding its own business. Five fish flips out of five. Now excuse me while I make another reservation before the rest of y'all ruin my favorite table.
