COVID-19 Takeout Review here-
As a disclaimer, you need to go to the back door to pickup at the kitchen. Door has a few posters that say “Naoki” on it.
We had the “Classic Dinner for 2” sushi set, which included two rolls, four nigiri, and two miso soups. The biggest takeaway was the cost did not fit the meal and the meal itself was partly subpar and partly just straightforward ... bad.
Miso soup had strong vinegar tastes, which we have never tasted before - and we have experience living in Tokyo for a period. It’s ... interesting. Not my favorite soup version. Vinegar and miso do not mix well.
The tuna roll was underwhelming - it was okay. You have some tuna, rice, seaweed flavors that congeal too much that there is no “interesting flavor.” The spice addition couldn’t save this roll.
Salmon nigiri was pretty good. The cut was proper for the price tag. The tuna nigiri was awful. It was very ripe and old, which may be why it’s partner, the tuna roll, also had low ratings.
We both enjoyed the tempura shrimp roll - that would be the only item worthy of purchasing.
And to top off the meal, you get a small container of spicy mayo sauce. Not sure what it went with. It didn’t help with the flavor experience.
$50 for this meal was not worth it. We will not be returning.
