Reviews about Sushi Hunter
Cheapest, smallest and thinest sushi I have ever tasted in my life
I am originally from Sapporo, Japan where the best town for the most foods(especially seafood).
I am telling you IF YOU LOVE SUSHI PLEASE DON'T GO because you will be disappointed unless you are drunk(well, the restaurant located around many bars).
"Neta"(Row fish on rice=sushi) has very little "umami" so that you won't taste anything but rice.
Umami is a taste that is characteristic of monosodium glutamate and is associated with meats and other high-protein foods. It is sometimes considered to be a fifth basic taste along with sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
Sushi Chefs are not experienced. The way they cut sashimi(sashimi is the same as Neta but Sashimi indicates by itself and Neta is always on rice) and made rolls, it appeared to me that they were just hired as sushi Chefs trainees.
Kitchen foods were more than average. Serves was good.
I felt like I spent $28 in Chinese Buffet which usually charges $8.99.
If you happened to be there, get some sakes and something spicy rolls or kitchen foods.
If you can avoid this place please do and go somewhere else.
A TIP to real sushi lover
Good sushi is composed of goor rice and good fish.
Good rice is cooked and cooled off properly with vinegar.
Good fish has enough amount of umami.
Don't go Hunting here, ok sushi
I didn't go in expecting much because they had an "all you can eat" menu. But I ordered from their regular menu and got the Philly Roll, Spicy Scallop and a specialty roll I have never heard of but sounded good. The portions were about par for the price but the quality was not more than a 5 on a 1-10 scale. The worst part was the Scallops were "fishy" and anyone that eats raw fish on a regular basis would know this is turned (bad). But I shouldn't fault the whole experience on one roll. The service was good and the staff was very pleasant. The atmosphere was fine. But I won't return.

We were in the North Beach area during our vacation and I love sushi so we decided to eat here. We went on a Monday night and the service was very slow, the sushi was not fresh at all. My boyfriend had the Bento box dinner and the chicken tasted undercooked and extremely dry. We had the worst dinner here during our entire trip. If you like pretty things on the wall and don't care about how the food tastes, then this is your place. Otherwise I say find another sushi restaurant.
