Sushi Cafe K

Hmmm. We went on a Saturday night, 6:15 or 6:30ish, and very few people were in the restaurant, which didn't make me feel very confident. We got the Japanese greeting, promptly sat with water, and what seemed like seconds later, our waitress took our drink order and brought out soggy room temperature edamame. I'm spoiled -- I like my edamame fresh from the steamer, crisp and salty. We discussed what we should get and settled on nigiri, nori, tempura and tofu agedashi. The agedashi was nothing to write home about. The tempura batter was great, and we had a great assortment of veggies, including pumpkin (which tastes like potato -- who knew?). The fish in the nigiri seemed fresh, and the rolls were okay -- just not really what we were expecting.

Neither of us were all that enthralled. It wasn't that expensive ($40 for everything, including a large Kirin that we split), but compared to other choices like the Takahashi, Yoko's, and Marinepolis, it just didn't seem all that great. Your mileage may vary.
