Tsuru Sushi Cafe

This is one of my favorite places; I can't stop craving the fresh seafood. It's always so delicious. I never miss a chance to enjoy some plum wine while I'm there!

I used to come here frequently for a sushi snack after my workouts. The rolls are quite big and satisfying, all at a budget-friendly price. I've tried most of them, and they're all pretty good for an average sushi place.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. We ordered miso soup, sashimi, teriyaki beef, and karaage chicken. It’s great that you can bring your own wine, and there’s a bottle shop conveniently located right next door. We enjoyed sitting outside by the heater, which was a nice touch. The service was also quite good.

The sushi rolls were satisfying, but I personally found the sauce too tangy. I tried three different types, and they all came with the same sauce. Moreover, I was not happy with the $10 minimum for card payments. While the restaurant was clean and had a modern look, the service and the uninspiring sushi left much to be desired. I probably won't go back.

I ordered a large assorted sushi and sashimi platter to go, which featured cooked tuna maki, tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, and salmon nigiri. However, I couldn’t really consider this an assortment; it felt more like a box focused solely on tuna and salmon. The tuna sashimi had an overpowering fishy flavor, while the salmon was just mediocre. Additionally, I ordered extra Tamago (Japanese omelette) sushi, and I was worried when the cashier didn’t seem to know what Tamago was. Overall, it didn't feel authentic. My verdict: I won’t be coming back.
