Grabbed take-out from Daigo Sushi Roll Bar on Friday afternoon. On the higher-end in terms of price, but very tasty and lovely presentation.
Quality: Daigo Sushi Roll Bar is on the pricier side, but definitely worth it. I was impressed with the high quality seafood items, the flavor, and the presentation. We ordered the Three Roll Lunch Special and selected Salmon Avocado, Tuna With Koji, and Hokkaido Scallop for our rolls. Each was very fresh and delicious, I was especially a fan of the juicy Hokkaido Scallop Roll. Additionally we each got a rice cup, I selected the Spicy Tuna Rice Cup and my fiance went with the Salmon Rice Cup. While the small container makes it a bit hard to get a full bite at the start, once you have a small hole, all the different components go together so well. I definitely preferred my choice, but I would have been happy with either.
Quantity: The Rice Cups are on the smaller side, I think two would be needed for lunch, or one with a roll or two.
Value: $18 for the Three Roll Lunch Special. $9 for the Spicy Tuna Rice Cup. $8 for the Salmon Rice Cup.
Ambiance: Daigo Sushi Roll Bar is a tiny, but chic sushi bar in the Gowanus area of Brooklyn. It is a place you would not naturally stumble upon, as it is a bit into the block rather than on the main street. Out front they had a picnic table, for the brave winter diners. Inside they had a pair of high-tops, but the majority of seating is at the long wood sushi bar, which is currently not available. It is a cute, minimalistic space, with lots of wood features and plants. It would be a place I would like to dine at inside once things return to normal.
Crowd: When I arrived one couple was sitting outside eating lunch, and one other individual was awaiting his take-out order.
Service: They are extremely fast, my online order was ready in less than 15minutes. And I love the packaging they use for take-out orders. Rather than just shoving everything into a few plastic boxes, they have a specialty container that opens like an adorable little sushi station.
Parking: Pretty easy street parking in front of the restaurant.
