So this weekend, my friend and I decided to try out a new sushi place in Westlake Village. We love to eat different kinds of rolls, so we always try to find a good sushi place on our weekend eatings. There’s an abundance of sushi places in the Conejo Valley area, and we’ve tried most of them (not always that great though). But from the reviews from yelp, I hoped this place would be extra good.
We were the first people to arrive since they opened at 5pm for dinner. They gave us a pickled cucumber appetizer and those toilette towels to clean your hands with.
Our first order consisted of: Salmon and Octopus nigiri, a shrimp tempura roll, and “Love Love Roll” (only because it said it would be shaped like a heart).
The salmon, my favorite fish, was reaaally good. *^__^* It seriously melted in my mouth, yum! The octopus was good also, and the shrimp tempura was average. The Love Love Roll was super cute and tasted pretty good too. It was like a california roll with salmon wrapped in pink soy paper. XD
We then ordered a Rainbow roll and Caterpillar roll:
The caterpillar roll was good (gotta love that eel sauce!). I don’t really like eel that much since it has those tiny little bones (I know you can eat it -_-;;). The rainbow roll was normal (only the salmon tasted better than average). I didn’t get to taste the tuna (my friend was too quick for me!), so I can’t really say for that. ^_^;; But for $14, the Rainbow roll wasn’t worth it.
The place was really small and definitely did not have a nice atmosphere. (They didn’t have Christmas lights in this one! j/k) But then again, I don’t really eat at places for their decor. :P
The bill came out to $57 before tax/tip, which is kinda pricey for what I got. Although the salmon was like heaven, I don’t think I’d come back for another visit since everything else I ate was only mediocre.
