I really didn’t want to leave this place a review, but 10 minutes after eating has went by, and I just know that if I don’t say something it’s going to bug me. This is also why I have no photos attached. I wanted to eat everything and give my experience the benefit of the doubt. First, I could count on my hands how many pieces of chicken came with the chicken and california roll combo. There was more edamame in my order than chicken. Second, the sushi tastes like they bought sushi from Fred Meyer’s next door and just repackaged it. I ordered an extra soft shell crab roll and that too tasted like it came from a grocery store. Like if someone brought me just sushi from this place, I wouldn’t be able to guess if it was from a grocery store or from a restaurant. Third, the best part about my meal was actually the Miso soup that came with it (which was actually pretty good along with the rice). This place is the pinnacle of mediocrity. Why I’m giving them a 2 stars is because the worker was very friendly and polite. I didn’t catch her name but I was greeted with a smile and it didn’t take too long for the order to be made.

Blue Sushi Sake Grill – Menu with Prices – 105 Summit At Fritz Farm Ste 130, Lexington

My boyfriend and I were seated and served quickly, we came in at 5 on a Thursday. We appreciated the atmosphere and felt welcome. As far as service goes we were greeted and helped by our server named Andrew. He explained the menu to us and was attentive, they were slow so we were checked on more than normal but I wait tables and understand that making sure your few tables are happy when you aren’t busy is considerate and it was appreciated. Let’s talk about their happy hour, I’ll be honest the happy hour is a great deal… most of their rolls are discounted and drinks are too, I had a margarita for less than $4. This was one of the main highlights for us. We absolutely loved the mango crab rangoons, it was our favorite part and probably the only thing we would order again. My boyfriend really enjoys Sapporo which is a Vietnamese beer that is served in many sushi restaurants, they of course carried the beer, but they served it out of a bottle with a cold glass, which would be great if a bottle of Sapporo is as good as it is out of a can (yes I know, normally beer is better out of a glass bottle) my only reason to highlight this is the fact that Blue has an entire wall displayed of Sapporo in a can but you can’t order it? Alright, Sushi time.. I’ll be blunt here, I’ve had better Sushi which is fine, but I’ve had better Sushi right down the road in Lexington. I ordered the Lion King Roll which was sort of meh, my boyfriend ordered a roll with soft shell crab (spider something roll, we can’t remember the name) so he was really happy to see that they carried one of his favorite types of shellfish BUT this roll was pretty disappointing for the price, a few pieces of his roll didn’t even have the soft shell crab in them. Overall our sushi was average at best. I rarely have pictures to post to my yelp reviews because I make it a point to not use my phone at the dinner table, but, if you’re looking for average sushi I’d go somewhere else.

Philip Sushi – Menu with Prices – 9475 Philips Hwy, Jacksonville

New to JAX so I’m not sure how convenient this location is for the people that live here. But Phillip Sushi is a nice pit stop for those who are randomly craving for some sushi along their travels. Loved the soft piano music they play in the background. The interiors of the restaurant are already nice to begin with, so the music adds to the ambiance. The service was quick. Moment I walked in, the host greeted my right away offering me any seat that I would like. I was the only one there, sure, but it was still nice. I ordered the Miso Soup, Fried Crab appetizer, and their version of the dragon roll. All of it was delicious. The Fried crab was crispy and meaty with crab and the dragon roll tasted great. The avocado, the shrimp, the rice, all of it seemed like it was made fresh for me. Sushi places can taste the same after while. Especially when you’ve been a long time fan of it, but this place stands out from the already saturated sushi market.

Toku Japanese and Asian Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 1301 U St NW, Washington

I usually enjoy spider roll and other rolls, but this sushi place is decent at best. Ingredients aren’t very fresh, and the spider roll is soggy and not crunchy, especially the soft shell crab meat. They also use pretty cheap soy sauce, those that you use to cook but not dip sauce in, so it overflavors the sushi and makes it very salty even if you use just a little bit on your sushi. Wasabi isn’t fresh either and taste a bit strange (kind of those frozen wasabi that you can buy from supermarkets that aren’t fresh and had been there for a long time). They also put too much onion on the calamari, and it wasn’t crunchy either, so it has a strange taste. Overall, food is 5/10. Not great, but edible. Review rounded up due to not delaying my order.

Samurai Sushi Bar – Menu with Prices – 3545 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy, Lafayette

For some reason we always order sushi from this place. Not sure why we haven’t branched out to many other places, but the food never disappoints! We started off with the Fried-Squid. That came out in big chunks, and it was really fresh. You could tell it didn’t come out of the frozen aisle of a grocery store. Then we had mussels, which I don’t think was worth it. There was way two much mustard that took away from the actual mussel flavor. Plus, they only give you two per order. Not worth it. My favorite thing out of the appetizers was the snow crab and salmon salad. It had a good amount of raw salmon packed into it. I could’ve just eaten that and be completely satisfied. Then for the sushi rolls…we ordered the Tuna Tataky Roll, Spider Roll, Samurai Roll, Koko Roll, and the Rainbow Roll (without rice). The Tuna Tataky Roll was really good. I enjoyed the fresh Tuna on top of the sushi roll. There was a prefect amount of rice in there to counterbalance it. The Rainbow Roll was my favorite out of the five, because it had all my favorite fish inside of one roll. The freshness from the fish is what made it worth the price. The Samurai Roll had way too much rice. It wasn’t very tasty. The other two rolls, the Koko and Spider Roll was okay. Nothing too special about them to me, but I’d definitely prefer those over the Samurai Roll. That concludes my review on this place; I will definitely be back!

Sapporo Japanese Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 8 E Broughton St, Savannah

My friend and I were touring downtown Savannah and noticed the menu on their store front. I was just too excited about ayce sushi that I did not think to pull open Yelp and check the reviews. I completely regret not doing so. When we walked in, there were maybe 5 patrons in the whole restaurant. The one waitress was very unfriendly and did not greet us. Food was served rather quickly, but it was just blah. I started with a bowl of miso soup. The flavor was decent but the tofu was undercooked. For sushi, I ordered a couple of special rolls. One had spicy tuna with raw tuna on the outside. The other was fried with crabmeat, cream cheese and eel sauce. The spicy tuna roll was probably the best thing I ate. The other was just trash. My friend ordered a Philadelphia roll. There was barely any salmon, mostly avocado and cream cheese. It also had zero taste. She switched it up for the Alaskan roll. 15 minutes later we still had not received her replacement roll. The manager that stopped by our table asking how everything was and we told her that we had been waiting for her roll. We look over and our waitress was just sitting on her butt at a table across the restaurant. The manager went and got the new sushi roll and brought it over. It tasted better than the Alaskan roll, but still meh. For the final part of the acye, I ordered some crab rangoon. That shit was just terrible. I love crab rangoon but theirs tasted very off. I just gave up and didn’t bother saying anything. Overall, this place is a joke. I don’t know how they are still in business. Aside from the one sushi roll with spicy tuna, the rest of the food and overall customer service was just terrible. This is just a reminder to be sure to check Yelp when in an unfamiliar place. Future customers, beware!

East Moon Asian Bistro Menu with Prices 5920 Kingstowne Center #100, Alexandria

Update: I enjoyed the Sushi so much earlier this week that I brought another sushi lover a couple of days later. This will mow be one of our goto spots for delicious sushi! And their sweetened ice tea was uncommonly good. Perfect level of sweetness, far less than Southern sweet ice tea, a more mellow flavor mot overpowered by the sugar. This was by far my best meal here and worthy of repeat business. I came in for sushi and what a treat. I was the only person at the sushi bar just after 4 pm. I ordered a specialty roll with four types of seafood over a crab mixed filling inside the rice roll and avocado. All were delicious. I added a couple of veggie roles which were also delicious. But the best of the best was a special sushi treat the sushi chef made for me that was outstanding! It had crab, was crunchy like a lite tempura, and a few more things that made this exceptional!

Sweet Rice JP Thai Sushi – Menu with Prices – 697 Centre St, Boston

Key takeaway: very solid addition to JP with good Thai and sushi offerings and decent performance across both cuisines. 1 star – service was quick and friendly, very attentive 1 star – ambiance was lovely with really pretty drop lanterns, sushi bar and window bar seating areas, and pretty cool murals against the chalkboard-style wall 1 star – value was on point, with most dinner entrees running $10-15 including generous servings of duck, veggies, and noodles. Our scorpion soft shell crab roll was $12 and while it over-indexed on rice just the slightest bit, it was a LARGE roll and also filled with nice, crunchy crab. 0.5 star – taste was a-ok, nothing mind-blowing. I think Soup Shack has better noodle soups to be honest…my khao soi was a bit too sweet and not as spicy or flavorful as I like it. My partner’s duck noodle soup was too salty, and her noodles were a bit clumpy, and we both agreed the scorpion roll was under-salted such that we actually needed to dunk it in soy sauce. 0.5 star – innovation. Nothing to write home about although all the good Thai and Japanese sushi standbys like basil fried rice, pad thai, khao soi, and dragon rolls, scorpion rolls, etc.

Tibet Bowl & Sushi – Menu with Prices – 50 Main St, Salt Lake City

Sad to say this place is pretty terrible, i love nepalese food especially momo, unfortunately every component of the momo was bad, the dumpling shell was too thick and bread-y tasting, the meat filling had an offputting old tinge taste to it, and the sauce although it smelled excellent didnt have much flavor to it at all and was kinda creamy like tikka masala sauce or something, i didnt try the sushi but that should have been the red flag from the get go, sushi and nepalese food do not go together just like sushi and chinese food dont go together how do people not understand this!!!

Yosko Japanese Restaurant Menu with Prices 2825 Washington Rd, Augusta

I think this place would have to grow on me. First off, GREAT food! If you’re just wanting to call in & grab food to go, go for it! Their Early Bird Special(5-6pm) is for dine in and carry out, I just wish I’d known that before we stayed to eat. The price is also now $21.99. Their service isn’t the greatest. It took our entire dinner for me to figure if the waitress was rude or just painfully shy. By the end, she actually eased up and we joked a bit. We went on a Friday and they really should tell you if certain things aren’t going to be available. It’s as if their early bird is the ONLY thing you’re getting before 6 o’clock. We wanted sushi, but their sushi bar was closed. Ok. Understandable. Then, we wanted the soft shell crab appetizer. “Oh, sorry we don’t have soft shell.” Umm…you don’t sell it or you’re just out? Then we asked what appetizers they did have. They responded with none. What the heck? I had to keep my composure because it was our first time there but we’d heard so many good things about it. Overall, we really enjoyed our food. If that’s all you want, go for it! My fella ate his entire plate (big appetite) but I had leftovers that I enjoyed for two more meals. I can tell this place is popular and it’s somewhere regulars enjoy going. As far as any atmosphere or service, forget about it.

Seafood Express – Menu with Prices – 2269 E Miner Ave, Stockton

The crab is good and the marinade is well balanced. HOWEVER… A word to the wise if you are planning to buy your own cracked crab for a private party. If you order, say 20 lb you will only receive about 10 lb in your bag at pickup. You will have paid for 20lb, because you are paying for the whole crab. They remove the big shell and the trash inside. After cleaning you have lost 1/2 of the weight you are paying for. So your $6 per lb price just jumped to $12 per lb. Of course they don’t tell you this… these nice people just let you get the surprise when they hand you the bag. What other business does this? Pretty much all crab outlets do this deceptive practice. So, after my last visit in December, I went to Costco and found cracked Dungeness crab for $6.99 lb., actually paying for what I was given. I made my own marinade based on their ingredients. Guess what? Tasted great, and I didn’t feel ripped off. Of course Costco is probably previously frozen, but so is Seafood Express….. did you expect freshly caught? So the next time you go to a benefit crab feed, know that the only ones making out at that feed are you, and the crab supplier. The charity is losing out.

Island Cafe – Menu with Prices – 949 Jewett Ave, Staten Island

The only thing that I really liked about this place was that it was quiet and it had seating available. Unfortunately I only brought a credit card so my friend has to pay for my meal because only he had cash. It’s not often that you go to a restaurant that doesn’t accept credit cards. I had a lox and cream cheese wrap and an avocado sushi roll with brown rice. I have had the same lox and cream cheese wrap elsewhere and it tasted much better. But it was nice that they have an option to have a whole wheat wrap. The sushi was disgusting and mushy. The rice tasted wet. I hate sushi like that. To me good quality fresh sushi the rice isn’t wet and mushy. And to add to that I thought there should have been more avocado in the sushi, and less rice. Plus they charged extra for brown rice, which is not something I am used to paying extra for. They add a 10% gratuity to the bill as well. Not a fan of places who do that. And my friend wanted to leave a tip because he thought he should tip more but the waiter was like that’s ok don’t bother. That was kind of weird and awkward. ****I think this place’s name has changed. My reciept showed this address but listed the business name as “Sushi Corner”. Pictures on this Yelp account match what the inside of the restaurant looked like.

Fish O Roll – Menu with Prices – 4220 Mcpherson Ave, Laredo

I had been wanting to try Fish o Roll for a while And I finally did. The sushi was pretty good it’s a really good size the slices were a little head and could have been cooked a little longer but other then that good. Was missing a little flavor but with the sauce it was good. I got the sushi box (sushi roll, rice and cucumber with crab salad) and wow that was a really good price $8 and some change. I would definitely go back
