Good food. Food is great! The only thing may be the portions are really small for what you pay. If you want to have some good and unique sushi, it would be a place to go!
portion sizes for hobbits.
I've never paid 45 dollars to only end up going somewhere else for dinner right afterwards.
The portions are tiny, like, smaller than happy meal sized.
For 12 dollars my companion for 3 tiny pieces of overcooked, chewy beef and 2 spears of asparagus. Rice costs extra.
I ended up paying 9 bucks for what must have been 2 oz of the saddest tuna ive ever seen. The flavors were not well seared in, the dressing was too sparse.
At the end of the meal, we paid and went across the street to lovejoy bakers and had a lovely dinner for 20 bucks.
The salmon roll we got was nice, that was the only saving grace.…
good sushi, not overpriced. We hesitated to try Hiroshi based on complaints that it was too expensive. I am so glad we went! $100 before tip for 2 big guys and myself. We had appetizers and lots of nigiri and rolls, saki and beers. We were absolutely stuffed and left a couple of pieces on the platter. Based on my sushi experiences, it was a decent value for high quality sushi. No more than other quality sushi restaurants.…
Just great food.
bluefin tuna belly and secret sauce is unbelievable! quality of the cut is hard to obtain, well worth the price. We had about 8 different rolls and nigiri. Everything fresh and delicately presented.
Mrs Hiroshi's desserts were absolutely wonderful too!
Overall, a great dining experience. No rudeness, no evil eyes. Maybe we get what we give?…
Want sushi, not extinctions for lunch.
The first thing we saw on the menu was so called "Black tuna," which is a common name for Bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus). The species is not only recognized as an endangered species (see Seafoodwatch
program) but is known to carry elevated levels of mercury and PCBs.
Yummy!
The second thing we saw was a dish called "wild Tasmanian salmon." When we asked the waitress about such an interesting new type of salmon and noted that we thought wild Pacific salmon only originate from the North Pacific (not South Pacific near Australia), she responded with "That's what our distributor told us." Well, young lady, maybe it’s time for a new distributor? Because there are only two options here: one, the fish is farmed, which means you are mislabeling your product. Or two, it’s an escaped farmed salmon that is now spawning in the wild!
Tasty!!
Third thing I saw on the menu. "Oregon salmon roll." I’m thinking, heres something I can feel good about eating. Surely during the peak of the wild salmon run in Oregon your dish called Oregon salmon roll is using our local salmon bounty. Or, at least its using Alaska wild salmon. But not at Hiroshi. "Sorry," she said. "Its made with farmed Chilean salmon!"
Check please!
When will these sushi restaurants realize that as a purveyor of ocean species, they have a obligation to learn where they get their fish, how it was harvested, and whether the species is in trouble or not. Lets make sure we have sushi around for our kids and grandkids. I’m going to Bamboo Sushi instead.…
