My Review

2 out of 10 stars

This restaurant was one of my local favourites and I have been several times. The quality used to be really good and the word of mouth quickly made it a very busy spot.
Until today.
I ordered some salmon sashimi and a california temaki.
When the salmon sashimi arrived, I first noticed it wasn't looking as good as the previous times. It was also cut very thick, Anyway I didn't worry too much, went ahead and took a bite. It was definitely not fresh. I am quite an expert when it comes to raw salmon, and that left such a 'fishy' taste in mouth, it just wasn't right.
I politely told them it didn't taste good to me, so (realised they didn't have fresh salmon that day), I asked for some avocado maki as a replacement (I was still waiting for my temaki anyway).
Instead of apologising, the manager/owner gave me a very annoyed and arrogant look, like I was taking rubbish.
That sure didn't make things better.
Anyway, the California temaki arrived. I used to love this as they were using fresh crab meat and avocado. I had a closer look, and the crab meat had been replaced by SURIMI!!! Now what were they thinking?? Like I wouldn't notice the difference?? I am sure everyone knows surimi is the lowest of low when it comes to fish! A fish by-product even! That was really too much and I obviously didn't eat it.
When I told them, I got another hateful look from the manager, who was clearly NOT interested in my satisfaction.
I ended up eating only the avocado maki, which even those weren't as good as the previous time. The seaweed quality was far lower, with a 'fishy' taste.
I left really hungry and extremely disappointed. If they wanted to make more money they could have raised the prices, not lowered the quality.
Never going back there again.
