Very nice sushi restaurant with enough Asian options for those who aren't huge sushi fans.
This strip mall restaurant was quiet and had easy to find parking right outside the entrance. We were greeted right away and given our choice of booth or 4 top seating. After our order was taken, it wasn't long before our soups (Egg Drop for my wife, Miso for me) arrived. The egg drop was on the thin side, but had a full flavor. The Miso also had a lot more flavor than some Asian restaurants I frequent. Good overall.
My wife got the sweet and sour chicken which has a large number of puffed batter chicken that was very tender. The chicken itself wasn't seasoned much, so without the dipping sweet & sour sauce, there wasn't much flavor. She really liked the moist bites and thought the sauce had a nice balance between the two tastes. She thought the chicken was the most tender she had ever had! If only they had used just a bit more seasoning to fill out the flavor. Note that the complementary fried rice was a bit on the dry side like it had been prepared ahead of time had been kept warm.
I got a serving of Gyoza which I found very light (non-filling) with a crispy crunch to the bottom. Very good! I used the dipping sauce and the savory/acidic tastes paired well with the dumpling. Very good!
My main course was the Fancy Dragon, an 8 pc roll with eel, kani (imitation crab), cucumber and topped with avocado and eel, and eel sauce. The roll was sized right making the pieces more bite sized than some oversized rolls I've had elsewhere. The only negative was that the wrap of the roll wasn't overlapping enough, so each piece tended to split on the bottom when picked up (I tried both chop sticks and with my fingers to keep the ingredients inside the roll up.) If only they had allowed that bit of overlap, I wouldn't have had to pick up as much out of the dipping bowl. Soy sauce can leave quite a stain if splashes come from dropped ingredients.
The service was friendly and welcoming and even checked us out promptly, but didn't stop by to check on our water or iced tea. Wait times were minimal between courses.
Overall, a very nice place to dine with lots of Asian and sushi choices....just like the title of the business.
