Ordered sushi take out from Gen Kai later in the evening. It was ready in 20 minutes - service was also very friendly. The food was very fresh and so delicious. California rolls, tuna rolls, salmon rolls, and cucumber rolls were all hearty and had plenty of fish/stuffing. The tuna and salmon came with cucumber and avocado, something that is often an add on other places. The portions were very good and 2 rolls felt like a real meal not just an appetizer!! The rice was tender and, again, it was all super fresh. Thank you for a wonderful take out meal to eat at a scenic overlook!!
We ordered the baked mussels with an avocado and shredded crab meat under it with mayo and we ordered the Sammy special, salmon nigiri and scallop nigiri and Salmon Kama and surf clam. All of these items were phenomenal!! I drove from San Diego downtown to go eat sushi here!!!
I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. The service was really friendly, fast, efficient and good. The restaurant was packed on a friday night. We started our meal with the Miso soup. It was overall good, but I felt it may have been a bit too salty and grainy for my liking. We then had the fried gyoza as an appetizer. It had a strange pork like mushy texture for the filling. It tasted good, but weird texture. Our entrees included the Spider roll, which was really nice and delicious. The pork Katsu meal was really good as well. it included a salad, fruit , rice and a sauce for the Katsu. The salad had the normal Japanese ginger,carrot,cucumber dressing. In my opinion, it tasted "off" and not like the normal dressings you would generally get in other Japanese restaurants. It wasn't sweet enough and may of had too much ginger flavor. Another entree we had was the sushi and sashimi dinner. It was beautifully presented and the sushi roll (california imitation crab?) was good. The sashimi pieces of salmon, white fin tail, shrimp and tuna were good and fresh. My only criticism was that they were cut way too thick to enjoy. Part of eating sashimi is the thinner slices that are delicate and will melt in your mouth. These pieces were "hacked" into chunks and thick slices. Way too thick. The last entree we had was the Chirashi. This is basically sashimi variety on top of a bowl of sushi rice. This was beautifully presented. Again my only complaint was that the sushi pieces were twice as thick as they should be, sliced. We finished our meal with a light and creamy green tea mochi ice cream. Overall, a pleasant experience and will return to try other dishes.
