I've been wanting to try this place for months! I finally made a visit last night. I wasn't sure if I created my own disappointment (gauging from all the good reviews) by hyping it up for all these months, or if my tastes are just shifting?\n\nIt's first come first serve seating in a quaint little space. They have a \"family style\" high table in the middle, a few two tops to the right, and some 4 tops in the back with a bar. The atmosphere was nice.\n\nThis is what was ordered: The crab stack, ceviche, the 808 special roll, the makapuu roll, baked mussels, steamed mussels and a white peach sakeria.\n\nThe ceviche was the best, in my opinion. The crab stack was good, but the sauce that's with it was a little weird, it is just a ginger lime sauce, nothing out of the ordinary. It just must of not paired right on my palette with the other flavors of the dish.\n\nThe sushi rolls were good, my fave was the makapuu, it was a take on surf n turf, with seared beef on top of the roll. But still, its sushi and most rolls taste similar, so it's easy for them not to stand out.\n\nThe baked mussels were ordered first. Baked mussels have to be my most favorite thing in all the lands. But not these. They tasted like bacon.. I know, how could something that tastes like bacon not be fantastic?! Probably when its seafood and topped with wasabi caviar. Also, the texture was off, I'm not sure if it was the wasabi caviar or the mussels that were crunchy, but something definitely was. The steamed mussels were way better, but still, something with the texture of them were off. Flavor was on point however.\n\nI definitely think it is a place to try at least once! Like I said, my tastes may be changing or I hyped it up to much, but I just wasn't impressed. I may go back after awhile for happy hour, that way I don't waste my money on something I'm not completely satisfied with.
