text: In my opinion, a good sushi experience relies heavily on subtleties.  First up, room temperature & vibe.  We were greeted and sat in a corner booth near a window.  Within 1 minute we realized it was hot so we decided to move to an adjacent booth situated under a ceiling fan.  We were promptly told that they might have to move us in case a large party arrived.  I guess I get that.  Seeing the room was 90% empty, I told her half joking that they would have to wait a few minutes since it was our 18th anniversary. Blank stare retort.  Room temp/vibe - FAIL.  Next up, drinks.  An ice cold Sapporo is sort of my go-to with sushi.  It was cold-ish, not co-o-o-ollld. My wife's wine was fine.  Drinks - Meh.  Next up, Appetizers.  Salad - great, miso soup - great, shrimp tempura....wha? More like Sam's club breaded longish shrimp.  We were not served shrimp tempura but I didn't make a fuss since they tasted pretty good.  Edamame were barely warm.  Appetizers - FAIL.  Next up, Entrees.  The rolls were really good, Rainbow, Boston.  Salmon and tuna nigri were really good too. Yellow tail was not.  My wife had beef teriyaki which she said was not good, bland.  Entrees-GOOD!. (I have to cancel out the teriyaki, cuz this is a sushi place.) I can forgive the low par yellow tail too, we ARE in the desert. They really should not have served it, though.  Oh, our server was super nice but not personable or genuine, almost too nice. She did a good job.  Service - GOOD.\n\nOverall, not bad.  I have been here before for carry out rolls and will likely come back for that vs dine in.  I think a little focus could make this quaint place a gem.  They just missed the mark in a few important areas.
