| Box B: Tempura, chicken teriyaki, sunomono nigiri sushi (3), california roll - 2 J's comment > tempura was decent, served piping hot and fresh; chicken teriyaki was also OK, crisp skin and juicy chicken; california roll was (as you can see) more fake crab than avocado, your avg cali roll; nigiri rice were all too vinegary and the fishyness of the tuna was definitely called into question; as we skeptical 'sushi' joints like this, go for the cooked stuff |

The place smells funky, and not just because it's located in an old building. There was a slight food rotting aroma, and a few fruit flies flying around. Due to time constraints, I didn't have an alternative to leaving, and was seriously anticipating food poisoning, but thankfully I got lucky and avoided a visit to the ER, but I'm definitely not chancing it again.
It's places like these that give real sushi a bad rep. For the real thing, go to the one and only Octopus Garden.
