Ootoro

We were gonna be in the Rowland Heights area, so we decided to try a sushi joint close by.

Ootoro, located in the City of Walnut, had the best review in the area.

The ice vase makes this dish look pretty.

But there was a lot of 根 in the fish.

It was pretty busy there.

We were so hungry, Galen forgot to take a photo of the sushi before he ate a piece.

但總有美中不足的感覺

Alaskan king crab leg (with thin gold piece) – not as sweet as the ones Janice and Benny brought back from Alaska

Uni wrapped with scallop – very disappointing.  You can only taste the scallop.  What happened to the sweet taste of uni?

Uni on mango – good try but just didn’t hit the spot

And that’s our general concensus of the food.

Abalone – lacking taste and the texture just doesn’t cut it.
