Rumor has it that the chef/ owner from Sushi Kado used to work at Sushi Sase, so my husband and I decided to give it a try. I mean..how bad can it be...right?Sushi Kado is located just up the street and around the corner from Sushi Sase. Although there are not much reviews on Openrice, the restaurant was quite full when we arrived. My husband ordered the $450 sushi lunch set, and I got the $380 sushi and udon set.

Sushi Kado is located just up the street and around the corner from Sushi Sase. Although there are not much reviews on Openrice, the restaurant was quite full when we arrived. My husband ordered the $450 sushi lunch set, and I got the $380 sushi and udon set.
First off, the taste of the chawanmushi reminded me of the soup you get at a Chinese banquet. Although it had crab meat in it, it didn't outweigh the non-authentic taste and texture. Then came the sushi course. We were disappointed just by looking at the sushi. It was smaller than small. The texture of the rice was acceptable, and the seasoning was on the light side. However, we couldn't get over how stingily small the sushi and sushi roll were!
Highlight: Seared Ika nigiri - Seared beautifully to a nice texture. The flavor of the squid was enhanced by a touch of lime juice.
Let down: Toro nigiri - Tasted exactly like the ones I eat at Senryo. Don't get me wrong, I like Senryo for its quality and value. But why would I need to come here if I can find the same quality at Senryo?
My $380 set ended with a bowl of udon, which still left my stomach feeling empty after. My husband and I decided to go for a second lunch because we were still hungry.
Verdict: Not going back
