If you've ever been to newly renovated shopping center across from the Cerritos Mall, you've probably noticed Gatten Sushi. Let's just say it's hard to ignore sushi moving around a restaurant via conveyor belts... or maybe it's just me since I suffer from SOS... otherwise known as Shiny Object Syndrome. :) I have been to one other place similar to this one, located in Tustin where the 5 and 55 freeways meet, but it has been a while since I've been there. Here are my thoughts on Gatten Sushi:
*It's not the best quality sushi I've ever eaten. Does this mean I wouldn't go back? Actually, it was good enough and the prices were decent enough that I would go back again. Some of the sushi chefs are not even asian, but they do have a lot of spunk and spirit there. It's one of those places where every gets greeted when you enter and you get a friendly thank you and goodbye when you leave. And it's not that the food doesn't taste good, but part of good sushi making is presentation and how well the rolls or individual pieces stay together.
*Yellow plates are $2 each while red plates are $3 each. We didn't end up grabbing too many red plates... not because of price, but more because we didn't necessarily want what was on them. I think our red plates consisted of the edamame and another with shrimp tempura. Awesome pricing and of course we had to finish off the meal with some green tea ice cream. Note to all: I wouldn't recommend the green tea cheesecake. It sounds more exotic/appealing than it actually is. Not worth the $3.
*It's crowded on the weekends. Try eating here on a weekday if you can to avoid the waiting to be seated plus the parking is sometimes difficult due to the nearby Lucille's BBQ. There is parking in the back of this complex, but even then it can get a little hectic driving in this area.
Have you been to a good sushi place? A penny for your thoughts?
