Seven Sushi Bar and Lounge

I don't know how they came up "Seven" but maybe it has something to do with them being unable to serve more than 7 people at a time. Or me feeling like I died Seven deaths from the wait. Can you say "In da weeds"? Cuckoo cuckoo!

Not only was the wait excruciating... The menu was as well. When 5 outta 8 pages consists of rolls, you gotta ask yourself...

"Where am I???!!!"

It seems like they used everything from Fune when they took it over... including the menu and the stockpile of raw fish. I was kinda looking forward to the "Kaiten" theme but I'm glad they didn't have sushi on a plate playing hide and seek on that conveyor belt.

Fune's selection of sushi had me Fuming in the past and Seven ain't turning my frown upside down either. Even the sushi chefs seemed disappointed with their selection... Looked like they were about to perform Hara-Kiri since there was no Otoro to be had. Hey, belly for a belly right?

Tako Sunomono - 4 slices of octopus, 4 strands of seaweed and 400 slices of cucumber. The octopus wasn't bad but the cucumber salad had the acidity of water. For $8, I hope they used Bling H2O.

Shrimp/Veggie Tempura - What do you think it tasted like... Crap dipped in tempura batter and fwied. Everything tastes G O O D fwied.

Sushi/Sashimi Combo - After they unhooked, scaled and butchered up the night's catch... It finally came out. The sashimi was your standard selections but sliced a tad bigger than usual... It tasted ok, it didn't melt like butta in your mouth, more like Play-Doh. The nigiri on the other hand was dreadful... It wasn't sushi rice, it was more like regular old short grain. The crap wasn't dressed with rice wine vinegar and fell apart like kitty litter. The fishies on top of the saw dust clumps tasted like 2 day old chum... Jaws could smell this a mile away and turn around. I just didn't get the inconsistency between the sushi/sashimi on the same plate.

The standard Side Salad that came with the combo is what you expect it to be... Left out on the Side. Meh.

The laugh riot of the night was Miso vs. Gween Tea... Miso was piss warm and flavorless. Gween Tea was scorching hot and burned all the flavors/taste buds outta my mouth. Even Godzilla couldn't drink this magma.

It's no wonder why Fune went belly up... but if Seven keeps this middling quality up they might as well do the honorable thing like a Samurai should. Slicing motion from left to right...

Tanto...

2.5 Stars.
