Review of Gekko Sushi

Recently changed owners and entire staff. New own...

Recently changed owners and entire staff. New owners have made choices to dilute the overall experience. Consistency and quality seemed to have decreased a bit - for example the crispy, tasty spring rolls were replaced with Chinese-style egg rolls with mushy, frozen filling. I swear they reduced the number of shrimp and overall size of the tempura udon, but I don't have a previous example. Americanized and predictable "Chinese" dishes were added to the mostly-Japanese menu. Large TVs were added above the sushi bar that play ads or even TV shows. Even the website is now amusingly poorly translated.

I would have preferred them to move in the other direction, to a more "really good Japanese" restaurant instead of a "whatever, Asian" restaurant. Still, OK service and food quality.
