Charcoal Sushi & BBQ Restaurant

Charcoal Sushi & BBQ Restaurant is near Empire Seafood Restaurant. To be honest, judging from it's location and it's outlook, I didn't expect much from Charcoal Sushi. Another reason is it's still a new restaurant, the chefs and waiters might not be skillful enough. In an ordinary Sunday, EU suggested Charcoal Sushi. So here we go!

Sockeye Salmon Sashimi-3/6

• I forgot the price
• not impressive...it is still acceptable though but I'm sure I have had better ones

The Submarine-4/6

• I forgot the price
• this is one of their special rolls; I can't recall what the fillings are but there are wakame salad on top of each roll
• the size of the rolls are acceptable; kind of like bite-size pieces
• they didn't drizzle the rolls with much sauce, which is good

House Roll-4/6

• I forgot the price
• I am not really sure about the fillings, but I remember it has tuna, avocado, crab, cucumber, and salmon
• it is different compare to typical "House Roll" because they are not as big as the others are
• it is just a roll that includes all kinds of ingredients, apart from this, nothing is special about this roll

Tuna Tataki-2/6

• I forgot the price
• I'm not sure whether you can see the ponzu sauce or not. They added waayyy too much sauce into the delicate tuna pieces. Even though I love the sourness of ponzu sauce, I think the sauce has covered all the flavour of the tuna.
• I don't understand why they have to cut the tuna into tiny little pieces!
• apart from the ponzu sauce, they have added too much garlic to this dish. I can hardly taste the tuna and its texture.

Special Request-5/6

• it is actually come from one of their special rolls, but since I don't like eating avocado, and I can't eat prawns/shrimps, EU and I decided to ask them for a change (+$1 extra)
• crab and mango, topped with tuna and salmon tempura
• everything is alright except EU found the mango was a little bit sour
