I decided to treat myself for a prebirthday meal and chose to
Sushi Gallery because of the origami creations from someone's yelp review and it was a lot closer to my shop and here's my first impression. Very small indoors but enough to seat 5 ppl at the sushi bar, and perhaps 4-5 tables to seat maybe 25 ppl. It is in a plaza with numerous Korean restaurants, liquor store, and a Fantastic Cafe, too. Plenty of parking.
The menu is quite simple, perhaps few rolls that most of us are familiar with; rainbow roll, California Roll, Dynamite roll, and hand rolls , sashimi and I liked that the albacore roll was the first thing mentioned. Plus they do have decent lunch menu and quite affordable from $15.99- $19.99 depending on what you like. I really don't care for shrimp but they do offer some. And if you buy 2 rolls, they give you soup and salad with your meal. It was fairly quiet, and the service was super awesome. I dropped my chopstick and the chef quickly gave me a new pair. Here I was lazy to ask for one and they noticed it right away. Love the service!! And I asked who created these beautiful origami dragons and other animal ones and Tim the owner created them all. Superb and talented!!
The Albacore sushi roll was super duper good and the salmon hand-roll was awesome too. Enough food for me.
Second day I craved more sushi and returned 9.21.24 at 2:25p and luckily caught them before closing till dinner menu at 5pm. I did not know that Saturday they close midday from 2:30p-5p and Tim was super cool in taking my order as long as I was taking it to go. And this time the poke bowl:) Yummy choice and had him change the fish selection to just albacore, my favorite and indeed it was my actual birthday lunch to go they gave me miso soup too.
Gosh the fish is fresh and I ate that poke bowl quick!! The server remembered me and happy I returned for another sushi treat. I love smaller restaurants and Tim has had the Sushi Gallery for 18 years here at this location. Very cool it's only 7 mins from me and the 91 freeway on ramp is a block away from the plaza!!! Yay !! Now, Why a 4? Well, I really do wish there were more big slices of fish on the poke and the roll. But decent enough during these " trying" times of 2024. Ok im being emo for sure.
