Shadow here. Nice little sushi joint in Venice, Florida. Simple decor, granite table tops, hardwood walls decorated with traditional Japanese artwork and trinkets. Interior is very, very clean. Bathrooms are immaculate. Service was friendly and accommodating. Pretty large selection of special rolls. Went with the Volcano Roll and, upon recommendation of the waitress, the Tokyo Roll. Presentation could definitely use some work with here. Both rolls were garnished rather sloppily, particularly the Volcano Roll, which had the shredded kani (imitation crab) just dropped on top of the roll, not the skillful artistic precision you would expect of sushi. The cooked seafood topping on the Tokyo Roll could definitely use more color to make it more appetizing. Rolls tasted great though, very flavorful and rice was cooked well. We also ordered the Party Sushi C. Waitress was more than happy to substitute the tamago (egg) nigiri for something else at no addition charge. Miso soup that came with the order was good, not too bland or too salty. The sushi itself was presented much better this time. Fish was very fresh. Overall very good place to satisfy that sushi craving in the Venice area. On an unrelated note, if you are into collecting seashells and fossilized shark teeth, definitely also check out Caspersen Beach. It is only 5 minutes away. In just two hours we collected nearly 100 teeth, not bad for amateurs.
