First, this place needs
to clean the bird shit off of its awning. There's nothing that primes
the ole stomach for a meal like pounds of bird guano staring you in
the face. Second, they need to get some customers, or I'm going to
be sticking a big [CLOSED] tag on this entry in the very near future.
The day I was there the sushi chef almost fell asleep in the middle
of cutting my miniscule piece of salmon. The host looked so bored,
I swear he was going to ask me if I could take him back to my office
with me. The long, thin wooden space is reasonably cool, but the pall
of boredom ruins any fun that might be had in this joint. That said,
look to take one of the cheap lunch combos back to your office. Is
it quality sushi? Hardly. Are you going to be hungry three hours later
due to shrimpy shrimp and minnow-like tuna? Sure. But really, for
the price, who needs to slip into a food coma and crash land at their
desk? Fresh made sushi for the price of the stuff that sits in fridges
all day long equals a good lunch deal in my book. Don't expect Nobu
and you won't be disappointed. [MF] |
