Frances and I head down to Sushi Harbor since this establishment is the closest that we need to be on Friday April 4th 2014. Time was about 13:50hrs ish. We opt to be seated at one of the Booths. Our server gave us 2 Nigiri/Sushi/Sashimi Paper Menus, and one TO-GO Menu which is in Paper Form that looks "used", which I found it a little puzzled with it. Hmmm....
Each Sushi/Sashimi items begins from $3.95 to Market Price, depending on what you order. The Basic Rolls are from $4.50 to $9.00. While the Special Rolls are from $12.95 to $13.50. Majority of the Special Rolls has Avocado in it. *SIGH* The Bento Lunch Box are from $8.50 to $8.95.
These are the items we ordered :
* Yellowtail Kama ($10.00) - Sushi Bar Appetizers
* Yellowtail Nigiri ($5.00)
* Smoked Salmon ($5.00)
* White Tuna ($5.00)
* Osaka Roll ($13.50)
While I opt for these items for my Lunch :
* Wasabi Tobiko ($5.00)
* Spicy Scallop ($5.50)
* Spicy Lobster ($7.00)
* Sweet Raw Shrimp - Amaebi ($8.00)
* Unagi Nigiri ($5.00)
We were given Complimentary Salad, primarily it was Lettuce with somekind of dressing in which seems familiar, but I am NOT So sure about it. Hmm, my bad, next time, definitely I'll ask the Server. Initially I opt to have Uni (Sea Urchin), but our Server said that they Were OUT of Uni. A bummer that they RAN OUT of Uni, that afternoon. *Sad Face*
The service is prompt. But somehow, during service, at first, 2 items in our Nigiri/Sushi order got mixed up, aka it was DIFFERENT from what we initially ordered thru the Paper Menu, and our server rectified the problem by giving us the correct order aka Correct Nigiri/Sushi.
I cannot recall what actually Frances had, coz all the Nigiri/Sushi all look the same except the Smoked Salmon at her plate. As for mine, at first they gave me the Normal Tobiko, in which from my Paper Menu, I opt to have Wasabi Tobiko.
Yes, the Yellowtail Kama, came out hot aka they either "fried" or flash-fried the Yellowtail Kama. Its OK, though this fish can get a little fishy for some.
My order of Unagi, was overly sweet due to the Sweet Dark Sauce, aka the glaze, that they brush the Unagi aka Unagi Sauce. Hence THIS Indeed affected the taste of the Unagi Nigiri itself.
As for the Sweet Raw Shrimp, this is yet another establishment, that embedded the FRIED SHRIMP HEADS with Sushi Rice and drizzled it with the Sweet Dark Sauce. Why Oh Why?? Err, the next time around, I would ask them, if I can have my FRIED SHRIMP HEADS, just FRIED, WITHOUT The Sauce.
Frances also ordered the Hot Green Tea ($1.75), while I just opt for water. Our server periodically come to our table, and re-fill our beverages. At the end of our Late Lunch, we each ordered the Mochi Ice Cream. Each Mochi order was $4.50. It comes with your options of 2 Different Flavors. Frances had the Green Tea and Strawberry, while I opt to have the Mango and Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream.
All in all Decent Sushi. To Go Back, its a "MAYBE", if I am in the neighborhood and perhaps from there my review might differ. The Server that afternoon his name is Tom. From the conversation we had, he comes from Indonesia. I wish and hope Sushi Harbor well in their business venture and future undertakings. Left this establishment at about 15:30hrs ish.
There is a parking lot, next to Sushi Harbor and plenty along the streets.
