I'm trying to be fair here, but it's really hard for me to separate the enjoyment of this meal with the price. It's sushi. Sushi should be expensive here in Ohio just by virtue of how hard it would be to get fresh and high quality fish, so I understand that, but that being said, I then expect the wow factor to be as high as the price and it just wasn't there. We had a ton of food, so we really had the full experience. We had the V.I.P. Sashimi Sampler which was at market price of $60. My husband didn't blink an eye at the price, but how could you not be disappointed when a mere 8 pieces of fish are brought to your table for that cost?? Yes it was presented nicely over a bowl of ice with condiments of jalepeno, cilantro, green onion, lemon, eel sauce, wasabi and ginger, but $60 for 8 pieces of fish?? It wasn't like it was an exotic offering of fish, half of it was just salmon and tuna. It was fresh, but not exceptional. For comparison, we had the sashimi sampler at Kyoto Ka for $13 and we were served 12 pieces of firm, very fresh tasting fish that was absolutely delicious and didn't need any condiments to dress it up. Don't you just want to taste the delicious raw fish anyway??

We also started with miso soup, which was just mediocre; the seaweed salad and the octopus salad, both of those were good, but of the two we preferred the octopus salad.

Rolls...we ordered the Viper Roll, the Unaka Roll, the Superman Roll, the Black Dragon Roll, the Nagatori (sp?-it's the blue fin belly and scallions) and the sweet shrimp sashimi. The Unaka and the Black Dragon were the table's favorite rolls. In defense of the restaurant, the Viper and Superman were too "mayo-y" for us, which is not their fault at all. The "Nagatori" which is suppose to be super high quality was so unremarkable that I'm struggling with even describing it. The sweet shrimp sashimi was delightful though, as were there crispy little fried heads. 

So, for $175 we had some decent sushi. This was for three people. Honestly, I left hungry and I'm a small person. So, had it been priced the way that Kyoto Ka (so far my favorite Toledo restaurant for sushi) or even Nagoya is, I would have been more inclined to give it higher marks. If you really want great sushi for a fair price (not cheap mind you but who wants to each cheap sushi?) go to Kyoto Ka.
