So what's with the Unable to Rate deal you may ask. Well, unfortunately a few hours after I had lunch here I felt really sick and got a bad case of the stomach flu for the next few days. I wasn't feeling too great before I came here but things got really bad after I left here. So obviously if I picked up something from some unwashed food here, I can't in good conscious give it a good rating. However, where I'm torn is that I actually really liked the sushi here.
But to back up a bit. My first impression of this place was a bit iffy. It's not really a restaurant but more cafeteria style where you order at a counter and then they bring it to your table - so it was just not something I was really expecting at a sushi place. Also another interesting fact here is that they only use purple rice which they believe has added health benefits. I decided to order the H3 roll ($13) which was spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, avocado, cucumber, tobiko, eel sauce and spicy mayo and the crazy roll ($9) which had fresh tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado and spicy sauce. So both rolls were very similar but both sounded tasty to me. I figured these were regular sized rolls, so I asked if they had a small house salad which I didn't see on the menu. The waitress said they could put something together ($5) which I said ok. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't ordered the "salad" because it was just shredded lettuce, some cucumber and sesame dressing on it. The shredded lettuce just made it seem really low budget and cheap. I didn't finish it and left room for the rolls. When they came out I was shocked, only because there were so many pieces! Most places usually give you 6 or sometimes 8 pieces but this place gave you 10 fairly large pieces. I couldn't believe it. If I had known, I would have only gotten 1 roll because I ended up taking home over 8 pieces with me. I was a bit skeptical of the purple rice, but it was totally fine and didn't taste too different. I thought the rolls were innovative and very tasty and I was actually looking forward to having the rest of it for dinner. Unfortunately that never happened and I ended up throwing it away because I was so sick.
So sadly I feel like I can't rate this place properly. I would say it's probably still worth checking out mostly because it's a different type of sushi but just go in with an open mind. Total bill: $36 with tax, tip and a soda
