Sushi Birthday Cake

I have been there for about 30-40 times so far, and, the restaurant have changed hands for at least 2 times over 3 years.

The thing that I appreciate is their chirashi.

The staffs are ok, not too bad and friendly in general.

One recently surprise: the new management decided to give the whole birthday party a 20% off (book in advance) if there is anyone in the group who has their birthday on that day. And they will include a complimentary sushi cake above – something I have never seen before. The outer rim is full of crackers with spicy tuna & jalapenos paste . The inner ring has 3 kinds of seaweed rolls(tuna,salmon and tamago). And the center ring has a bunch of futomaki rolls in it. I am impressed by the restaurant for the first time. (Probably I will give them a B grade on my birthday when I receieve so much goodies).

Besides for the big surprise, pleasant surprises nomore. The cooked food is bad. Their tempura is extremely non-Japanese where they don’t even use tempura platter to fry the tempura, they use cornstarch and breadcrumbs (not panko).

Good: Chirashi is good-valued, rolls are pretty innovative, only place for Sunday sushi buffet. 20% on birthday party.
Bad: Bad cooked food in general

Conclusion: You can only go there for sushi, and still don’t expect high quality fish.
