"Don't judge this place by its looks. The strip mall setting is unappealing, the lighting is inconsistent, the music was set to Taylor Swift and Kesha, and the walls had Italian-style wine pictures hanging in thin frames. The menu is low-priced, and offers hibachi with no hibachi tables in view. All in all, Sushi Village gives a terrible first impression. But any sushi place with an Engrish menu and all-Asian staff has promise, so we gave it a chance.<br/ <br/ We started with Gyoza dumplings. Interestingly, they are filled with shrimp instead of pork, and their shumai have crab instead of shrimp. The Gyoza had a good flavorful filling, and the shell was pan-fried and had a nice crisp crust to it.<br/ <br/ We also had a snow crab naruto (ordered off-menu). It was not served with a sauce typical of the dish, but it didn't need it because the snow crab was quite flavorful.<br/ <br/ But the highlights of the dinner were the April roll (roll of the month, but they spelled it Apirl; basically a RockNRoll topped with steak) and the Fire Dragon roll (tempura shrimp and avacado inside, salmon and crabstick on top). The eel sauce has a little spicy kick to it, which set off the flavor of the rolls perfectly. In addition, the Fire Dragon roll was artistically presented, as you can see in the picture attached.<br/ <br/ The one disappointment was the fried ice cream dessert. It was all batter and no ice cream. But at $3.50, I didn't feel much buyer's remorse.<br/ <br/ EDIT: Oh, and the service was great. Attentive and friendly.<br/ <br/ Sushi Village may not compete with Itchiban or Tsunami in style, but it has it where it counts and at a great price. Go here!"
