"The California rolls were standard—nothing exceptional—and the kani salad was underwhelming, as it had more cucumbers than imitation crab meat. When it was time for dinner, we moved to a spacious booth. We started with a special of the day: tofu topped with spicy salmon. I must admit I overlooked the salmon detail on the menu, expecting something like agedashi tofu, but the salmon was a pleasant surprise.
For our main courses, I decided to branch out from my usual sushi rolls. Sometimes, you just crave some good Americanized sushi with all sorts of unique flavors and sauces. I ordered the Dynamite Roll ($17) featuring wild blue crab and avocado topped with seared spicy scallops, crunch, and fried vermicelli, as well as the Harajuku Roll ($15) with salmon, mango, cucumber, spicy salmon on top, crunchy flakes, scallion, and mango caviar sauce to share. The first piece of the Dynamite Roll tasted a bit off—perhaps it was the sauce? However, the more I ate, the more I enjoyed it. I would definitely order it again. The Harajuku Roll was quite good, but I preferred the Dynamite Roll.
Just to ensure we had enough food, we added a duck ramen to our order. The duck and broth were surprisingly good, but the noodles were soggy and had an instant noodle quality to them. I wouldn’t recommend the ramen.
Service here was fantastic! The staff was very attentive and even gave us a 10-minute warning before happy hour ended. Since it was my aunt's birthday, they kindly brought out some complimentary mochi ice cream. I will absolutely return for the fried chicken sliders (I can only imagine their chicken karaage is equally good) and to try more of their rolls."
