Haven’t been here a while used to be pretty good. Of course, menu prices went up, but so does every restaurant right now that’s not a problem, but the majority of their sushi is filled with spicy tuna or would I like to call fish hamburger to save costs. The table was also very sticky to the touch. For the prices, they should be more attentive. Seems like a lot of restaurants are cutting corns to try to survive. I can’t hate. If you want really good sushi go to Japanese kitchens. I won’t return here.
The suishi at Tamashi West was not as fresh and great as at Tamashi.
My first time eating Ramen and it was amazingly delicious.
