Overpriced, Bad service, Good Sushi 6/24/2006

I graduated on Friday the 23rd and I wanted to celebrate with my family by going out for some sushi. I came to this site to find a nice place to go and sushi twist looked great. I had my 2 little brothers, my mom, dad and I. The review said that it had great food, good service, great prices, and that it would be good for kids. When we walked in, immediately I was surprised at how dimly lit it was. We were seated immediatley but we could barely read our menus because it was so dark, we had to use the candles on the tables to read the menu. We ordered an appetizer(shrimp tempura) which only came with 4 pieces but cost $9. we waited at least 20 min for that simple dish. each of us ordered sushi. My dad never had sushi so he ordered a sushi appetizer for $12. it was very simple and only came with 4 peices. Completely overpriced.My little brother got a yellow tail sushi for $7 and my mom got a spicy salmon roll for $9 also, not bad. I got a Tokyo triangle sushi for $15. The pieces were huge and delicious. We ate and paid $6 for 3 sprites, dad paid $6 for a corona (beer) we were ready for dessert. I got banana brulee for $6 which came with 2 cherries, 3 chocolate covered strawberries, and a banana cut up in 4 peices with a crisp sugar coating (only on 2 of the bananas). It tasted like something i could have easily made at home. My brother had the creme brulee which tasted like burnt milk on top but tasted okay. The main problem with the dessert was that it took almost an half an hour to arrive! At one point we were ready to say ""forget it, just give us our check!"" it was'nt even that good. It was COLD. \r Unlike the other customer, we weren't even offered a complimentary tea! The total price for the everything came out to $80.00. too pricey for sushi! \r We left Sushi twist with empty stomachs and disappointed.\r Pros: Delicious sushi Cons: Super slow service, waited too long for food, cold dessert more

Stay Away 6/22/2006

OK.. The Sushi was good, but you pay $15 for a roll that cost $8-$10 anywhere else. I went there with my girlfriend tonight. The place only has about 12-15 tables, but only 3 were occupied when we arrived (7:45 Friday Night) Our waiter was a complete useless waste of space. My first impression was "why is there some swedish guy taking my order at a sushi place" The apps and sushi came out very quickly (about 15 minutes for both) The problems arose after the main course, when we decided to stay for dessert. We sat there and waited and waited and waited for our creme brulee and icecream. And in the 40 minutes of waiting for dessert the waiter couldnt be bothered to even offer to refill our water. Finally after a few glances from my girlfriend the waiter finally comes over apologizes for the wait and offers us some green tea. I almost choked when he said "this is on me" Are you kidding? 40 minute wait, horrible service and youre offering me a free cup of tea thats costs all of 0.25? The creme brulee finally arrives, but no icecream. So we both start into the creme bruless and realize they forgot to put sugar on top.. Burnt milk is all I could taste. At that point I asked for the check, told them the creme brulee was awful. The brought the check, I signed the credit card bill.. and then the icecream arrived.. All I can say is go somewhere else, you'll get the same food at a better price with much better service and atmosphere. I cant say I will ever be eating at Sush Twist ever again. Pros: Good Sushi Cons: Bad Service, Awful Dessert more

sushi twist 4me! 6/15/2006

Not a HUGE fan of sushi, but need to lost wieght, decided to try- must say, I loved the rolls there. Thought $15 for a tokyo triangle roll was expensive, but when it came out, the one roll was hard for me to finish! It was at least 10 pieces! AND, it was in the shape of a triangle, very fun!! Good for my wallet, and my stomach! Pros: big portions more

Memorable Birthday 6/12/2006

After waiting over an hour at another restaurant (with reservations), fed up, we decided to try Sushi Twist. We didn't have reservations, and it was 8 of us. Though it was pretty busy, they did their best and sat us down in less than 10 minutes. The staff was very welcoming, so we asked her to pick a few of her favorite rolls for us all the share. We all agree that the food was phenomenal. We all shared the Twist Salad, big enough for a meal, and the Explosion Roll was my favorite. They even surprised us all with dessert. Food, with the service, with the Twist cocktails made my birthday memorable! Pros: friendly staff, yummy food Cons: limited seating more

Second Office 6/12/2006

For someone who is always taking out clients to lunch for meetings, I've found it hard to find a quiet, trendy place with good food. However, I've found that time and time again, Sushi Twist has been a perfect place for business lunches. The owner even remembers my name, making me feel important everytime i go in (beneficials for my meetings). The sushi rolls are truly one of a kind. Love it there, sure others will too. more

Worth a shot!! 6/10/2006

I was always freaked out about sushi but my boyfriend insisted we go to this place where he always goes for his lunch break. I was hesitant to try any of the raw stuff but there was quite a selection of cooked item and very appetizing roles that was made up of mostly vegetables and stuff. All in all i had a great meal and the servers were very informative about the food that i was trying. Pros: friendly more

Trendy,fun,and lets not forget delicious 6/10/2006

I rarely write any recommendation about restaurants but i felt like i owed it to the public to comment on how delicious my meal was at sushi twist. Seriously if your down to having a japanese fusion style meal in a cozy trendy atmosphere sushi twist it the place to be. I had the roasted king crab legs and dang simply hit the taste buds in all the right places. Hey seriously check this place out highly recommend it Pros: the wonderful staff Cons: wish my stomach was larger more
