Decent sushi

by licious13

We enjoyed trying the different sushi options on this menu. Flavors were good, but a tad bland. But to be fair maybe it's just the selections we chose to eat.

We will try again one day for the outdoor dining ambience.

• Pros: Seated promptly, food was pretty good, outdoor eating
• Cons: server wasn't attentive, some items were bland

volcano sushi is the bomb

by kcshoots

This has become my husband and my favorite QUICK BITE to eat in Ballantyne Village before heading to the movie theater upstairs. If you get there around 6-7 ish weekdays, there is no crowd. The wine is good and the sushi is very good. We do like the creative, new sushi styles like dynamite sushi with crunchy fillers. The waiter we had gave us his recommendations and we went with everything he said. We were thoroughly pleased and loved the volcano rolls WOW-wait till you see how cool they look and taste how great they are. I am so bored with california rolls and find that only sushi newbies eat those because they are afraid of raw fish. Don't be-try some tuna rolls and anything with cooked eel is awesome-sweet, tender meat that has its own flavor. I love it! We had the dumpling appetizer and it was unique and very tasty. Great place to catch up with your loved one with good food, good wine and conversation. Wait staff is very young and hip looking and there is balcony dining for warm nights overlooking the fountain (hope they turn it back on this summer if we get enuf rain!)

• Pros: Parking in the parking deck is plentiful and nearby
• Cons: Needs more ambiance inside-decor is plain
