| What is sushi? Sushi is rice with raw fish wrapped in seaweed. (Wow its a sushi cake! Thats a lot of sushi ^_^ ) Reviews for Sushi House in Alameda Me no likey. Went Saturday, gross food. I've had great great and this was gross gross. People come here like its some great place but its really more likely to be the location of the actual restaurant. Service isn't great, but isn't terrible. the food SUCKED. The only way I could get it down and wash the crap-taste out of my mouth was by downing as much of the beer and sake as possible right afterward. My GOD. Put a better restaurant there, PLEASE. I was trying to find a good word to describe how I feel about Sushi House. After reading some reviews Troy M. described it perfectly: neutral. I feel neutral about Sushi House. It's not great, but it's not terrible. It's not worth over an hour wait, but I wouldn't mind waiting 30 minutes. There is always a crowd. Like, always. I've come for dinner on a weekend, dinner during the week, lunch on the weekdays and I've always had to wait. I'm not sure what it is about people and this place, but Sushi House seems pretty recession proof. We get: - House salad ($2.00) - Lion King Roll ($10.95) - California Roll topped with baked salmon and tobiko - Bay Scallop Roll ($10.95) - California Roll topped with baked scallop and tobiko - Spicy Scallop Roll ($4.50) - Shiro Maguro Roll ($3.95) - White Tuna with green onions and garlic - Crazy Monkey Roll ($6.95) - Yellow Tail, Salmon, Eel, Tobiko & cucumber If you like specialty rolls, Sushi House is great. They have a lot of specialty rolls and they're all decently priced. The Lion King Roll and Bay Scallop Roll are two the most popular specialty rolls here. Both are pretty good. I really like the Lion King Roll. It's a lot, but it's tasty if you like baked rolls. The Shiro Maguro Roll is very garlicky, but I love garlic so it's okay. Everything else here is eh. The fish never seems like it's of the best quality. There is usually lots of rice and little fish in the simple maki rolls. I do like the house salad dressing. It's kind of sweet, kind of tangy, very creamy and just tasty. The leafy greens, however, are more often times then not wilted. Service is usually always less than stellar, but it has yet to be terrible. Sitting at the sushi bar seems to have its benefits on a busy night because we got our sushi really fast. Overall it's okay. There is most definitely better in the East Bay. Sushi House used to be my favorite sushi spot in the Bay Area. However, I have not visited it since 2008. During my last visit, I went for lunch. The service was pathetic, and the fish did not seem fresh. Prior to my unfortunate visit, I used to order the Island roll, Lambada roll, and A's roll. This place gets really crowded, and during those times, the sushi is mediocre. So its really hit or miss for me. Had dinner there on Tuesday and it was the worst dinner. We've had in quite awhile. We were not greeted at the sushi counter even when no other customers around us and six or seven sushi men watched us being seated. Service was non-responsive, inattentive and unpleasant; but the worst part came when I saw my sashimi combo ; the Hamachi sashimi was badly discolored and the Maguro was some very old slices which I could not pick up with my chopsticks 'cause they were breaking into small pieces. After over $60 some dollars and half untouched meal, I was even more amazed and insulted by the sushi chef's nonchalant attitude when I asked him about the quality of the raw fish- - "no one complain about bad pieces, only you" was his combat answer to my question!!!! I'm from Hawaii, and I travel between Japan and CA more than once a month, trust me when I say that half of the sashimi served to me at Sushi House that night would've considered not edible in either standard. One day my friends and I went to Sushi House in Alameda for a birthday party. When we arrived, it seemed a little crowded but decent. We were 4th on the list and we waited. We didn't wait that long so that was good. The waitress gave us the menus and we ordered the food. But the waitress had a little attitude but it was fine. The sushi was a little costly but we managed. We made a mistake in our order we asked to correct it, It took a very long time. Service was ok but it takes to long and they happen to forget you. This is a great restaurant besides the poor service and impatient waiters. I would recommend you to come here as often as you like, only if enjoy to wait for good food.    |
