My husband and I were looking for a good place to have Friday night date night at, after my haircut. We yelped around and saw this place and decided to check it out. It's a rather standard suburban sushi place in the Arrowhead area. We got there about 8-9 pm that night, and the place was almost empty. Service was prompt and efficient, and we were seated quickly with menus in our hands.\n\nThe drink selection was... okay. I got the watermelon martini, which was good, but truthfully nothing to write home about. I ordered some tempura udon, and the shrimp tempura was crispy and fresh, but the broth a bit too high on the sodium content. The sushi rolls we got were nice, but not immensely creative. Well made though, with decent fish. I did ask to order my favorite- ikura nigiri, and they unfortunately didn't have it. I got ebiko nigiri instead, at her suggestion. Not my favorite, but a decent substitute. Fish eggs are fish eggs. \n\nThe one noteworthy thing that I did enjoy was that they had a good number of rolls with 'white tuna', or escarole. My husband and I love it. But if you do your research and google it you will know that it doesn't always agree with everyone, especially if eaten in large quantities. So reader beware- you may NOT have a nice reaction to it, and really that differs from individual to individual. Neither myself or my husband have ever had a reaction, and we enjoy eating it every time we see it in on a menu. \n\nOverall- 3.5 stars, rounded down to 3. A nice place, but really, nothing to go out of your way to enjoy.
