We love to eat, and we love to eat out. Our friends frequently ask us for dining recommendations, and we try to stay current with all the new restaurant openings. We aren't professional restaurant critics, and our day jobs have nothing to do with the food or restaurant industry. We pay for all our meals.
There's just two of us, so we may only have the opportunity to visit a restaurant once before writing a review. We won't have been able to try a number of the menu items, so we invite you to share your experiences.
Thank you for visiting our website, and happy dining!
On a recent Saturday afternoon during the holiday shopping season, we stopped by this relatively new Rice Village area sushi restaurant, which is located in a strip shopping center on Kirby. The room was nice enough, and we were encouraged by the number of tables that were filled.
The service was somewhat inconsistent -- our waiter seemed a little overwhelmed. We also aren't big fans of green tea (we know, we know--it's very healthy), and that's the only hot tea available.
Admittedly, we only tried two sushi rolls, but they were the rolls that our waiter advised were the most frequently ordered. We can't recall the names (they were the first two listed on the menu) or even much about the ingredients (probaly the usual suspects -- tuna, salmon, etc.), which should be an indication of how unimpressed we were. Plain is probably the best way to describe both items. We didn't discern any of the advertised spiciness, and the sauce was almost nonexistent.
For a Saturday sushi lunch in the area, our vote goes to Sushi King further north on Kirby.
