West Side Sushi Review: Mixed Food and Service Experience

I had a late lunch today with two friends. We met up on a rainy day and walked around until we found this place.

First, I want to mention our experience with the servers. Both my friend and I noticed that one of the waitresses seemed a bit uncertain when we asked about food ingredients, which came across as slightly off putting. There was also a male server who appeared more comfortable and well trained with customer service and was pleasant during our brief interactions.

Now, about the food.

I had miso soup, which was basic but fine and honestly hard to mess up unless it ends up too salty. I also tried some shumai, a spicy tuna roll, and a spider roll.

The spider roll had an inconsistent flavor where some pieces tasted a bit fishy while others did not. I am not sure what caused that. The spicy tuna roll was not particularly spicy, but it was real tuna and did not taste bad, just not what I expected. The shumai was rather average and did not stand out.

Overall, I gave the place a try, but like many restaurants I have visited recently, I probably would not return. There was not anything that stood out enough to bring me back. My friends who are familiar with Yelp did not seem very impressed either.
