I went to Izakaya on Castle Street for sushi as my birthday meal but service was awful and the people on the table next to us & behind us waited an hour before their food came so ended up getting their meals for free it was that bad. They were so short staffed, the place is only small but they should have been prepared for it since it was bank holiday, the weather was so nice & Liverpool had been playing.
We got the Sake Nigiri - salmon on rice
Philadelphia Uramaki - salmon, cream cheese, cucumber
Aubergine Dragon Uramaki - green beans, takuan, kanpyo, carrot, chives, aubergine, miso & agave sauce, hot sauce
Hoi Sin Duck Temaki - duck leg confit, hoi sin sauce, cucumber, spring onion, sesame seeds
Looking back now at the photo I've just realised we ordered the Tuna Maki & that didn't come but we got charged for it. The sushi looks nice but it really wasn't as good as it looks. The hand roll was basically empty inside like 2 slices of duck, 2 slices of cucumber & spring onion with hardly any hoi sin sauce.
The wasabi on the side - not that we were going to eat it was like toothpaste/chewy defo not how wasabi is meant to be like.
Mushroom Vegetable Gyoza - looks so unappetising
David got the small squash katsu curry with sticky rice & picked veg.
So disappointed with the food & sushi definitely wasn't a good choice to eat before drinking & was definitely still hungry after it! We waited ages to even get the bill.
I know that sushi takes time to make as you need to make it fresh on the go but there was only 1 chef making sushi when all the tables were full! Definitely won't be going back again. David told them it was my birthday & they said they don't do anything for birthdays not even a cake or a free drink! We should've went next door to Santa Maluco for pizza at least that would have been filing & the service looked much quicker!
