This is my first Japanese restaurant outside of Manhattan. Okay, so I didn't expect a river separating two boroughs to be a cause for concern. Needless to say, Brooklyn lived up to expectation. Okay, now on to the review.
The first thing I noticed upon entering was how nice the ambience is. The place is really nice. You can tell they spent a decent amount of money on the decor.
As for the food, I had the sushi love boat and it lived up to Manhattan's Japanese restaurants. I would venture into saying that the sashimi is better than most Japanese restaurants in Manhattan. Really. I highly recommend this place.
This review is in reference to a delivery order I placed and received from Mitoushi.
I ordered several special rolls, and 2 were completely inedible due to severe fishy taste on the crab. I could not believe they even sent these rolls out. They need to require the chef's to taste test the old fish first, to see if they can even get away with passing it off as fresh.
I made the mistake of ordering on a Monday, thinking it fish on a monday can't be that bad? But oh Boy was I wrong, I paid 20.00 and threw them out. Super disappointing.
I had:
Tuna tataki appetizer
Salad that comes with entree
Eel with avocado roll
Salmon roll
Omlett roll
Dining companion had:
Grilled shrimp appetizer
Salad with entree
Chicken roll
Shrimp tempura roll
Cant remember the third roll
Place is very clean.
My eel rolls had more rice than eel which was disappointing but the flavor was good across the board. You MUST try the tuna appetizer as it was beyong delicious. A bit spicy but totally the way to experience seared tuna. Grilled shrimp were perfection! Chicken roll was an interesting texture and great flavor, however, not something I could commit to for a full roll.
Overall, pleased and happy to return.
I have to admit that I was skeptical, I have my doubts. Between the yelp comments and the low occupancy on a Friday night, I really second-guessed my girlfriends for picking this local sushi spot for dinner.
We each ordered some basic rolls, priced at less than five bucks a roll, I was really impressed by the quality. The service and ambiance was nice but not too impressionable.
This review was based solely on the rolls we had while eating at the restaurant, and the additional rolls I had ordered for take-out.
I will be back to try out their specialty rolls and other stable Japanese menu items. Consider this my quest to either overthrow the Yelp bullies, or to nod my head in agreement with the average 3 star rating.
1) One of the yelp reviews is from a guy with the name "Mitoushi" who gives it 5 stars and says "Nice restaurant." Obviously the owner and says a lot about the honesty of the establishment.
2) Sushi rice was barely seasoned. Tasted like normal rice.
3) Chicken teriyaki used breast meat and was dry as cardboard as a result. Teriyaki sauce tasted watery and gross.
4) Soft shelled crab used regular breadcrumbs rather than traditional light, airy panko (Japanese breadcrumbs). Felt like I was eating stale bread instead of rich crab at some times.
I could go on but what's the point?
Horrible.
Before I moved in the area, I knew of this place and have come many times in the past for sushi and drinks. I can honestly say I had no complaints. The sushi was always fresh and the drinks were cheap. One night, I was about to order for pick-up using grubhub. Before I placed the order, my roommate insisted that the prices on grubhub were incorrect and that she'd never paid that much, however I was there a week prior and ordered take-out and paid over $10.00 for just two rolls. To prove me wrong, she called up, ordered her usual two rolls with a miso soup. Needless to say, she paid less than I did, and the prices that were on grubhub were significantly higher than what appeared on her receipt.
I'll be generous and give them three stars for the great specials they offer.
Yesterday owner here with 3 other crew members during our walk away lunch. The place is very quaint. They have plenty of house style rolls which provided a variety of flavor and options.
Since I was there for lunch I ordered the Undanon which is eel over rice. I also order a Bay Bridge roll which is eel and cream cheese fried. As you could see I was in the mood for eel.
The lunch special Undanon was very beautifully done. It was placed into a plate and kind of like a deconstructed eel roll. It had long eel pieces over a circular bed of rice. The Bay Bridge roll on the other hand wasn't what I expected. The taste and flavor were spot on but I was expecting a crusty outer shell since the description said fried. In reality it was covered with soft fluffy white rice with an inside crunch.
In the end I was fully satisfied with both the food and service.
I ordered sushi from here last weekend and it was ok. It wasn't bad enough I would never eat here again but it wasn't good enough that I would run back and re order. The sushi was ok but I have had better and the teriyaki vegetables were not what I expected. They came with nothing on it and were basically just steamed. If that is what I wanted to eat I wouldn't have ordered Teriyaki vegetables. My bf like his meal a lot better then me but for the price I will not be ordering from here again.
