"I put 4 stars but its more like 3 1/2. I 'll explain. The first time we tried M we sat next to the sushi chefs on the left hand side when you walk in. It was an amazing experience. Seriously, 5 stars. Everything was amazing. Over the years i feel as though the hype may have made them a little complacent? Honestly, i 'm not sure why it isnt as good as it was a couple of years ago but that 's my best guess.While the fish tastes fresh most of their dishes are pretty tasty, (heaven on earth, specialty menu, appetizers) there are a few things that have made me raise an eyebrow or 2. I don 't know if they consistently have problems w/ their AC, but theres been several times when my family i have shown up they have one of those giant shop fans blowing instead of having the AC on. During these occasions i have noticed that the sushi/nigiri isn 't that perfect temperature you would expect from a really good sushi restaurant, which can make a big difference in texture taste. Ive also noticed that unless you specifically ask, or you 're enjoying the omakase, at least in my experience, the sushi rice isn 't brushed with any soy sauce or nikiri shoyu, i also found that typically there was no wasabi or kazami placed on the nigiri so it was pretty flavorless aside from the flavor of the fish.They have some of the highest menu prices in this area for sushi, which is ok if its always on point but it isn 't. Some of the prices make sense, others seem a little on the higher end. The service has always been 10/10 so no complaints there. I really don 't like writing reviews like this but these are things i would want to know. M is definitely one of the better sushi places I 've been to, but they 're slackin a little. I haven 't been to Komachi Sushi in a while, but they 're also located in Lodi I 've never been disappointed. next time I 'm craving sushi in the area, I 'll probably just go there. I really hope M Sushi starts putting out food the way they used to!"
