Chuan Fin Japanese Restaurant, which has generally good reviews on the Internet, is full of regular customers during peak dining hours, and you have to wait in line to be seated. The last time I wanted to dine there, I was unsuccessful and had to wait for several groups, so this time I went in as soon as it opened at 11:00 noon.
The dining space is quite clean. You can see at the door that the store uses Japanese rice, and there are also a variety of raw fish in the refrigerator.
It was my first time to eat here, and I wanted to try every classic sushi dish in this restaurant, so I ordered the "Twelve Sushi". It looked very impressive, with 12 sushi dishes placed on a large square wooden plate. Come on. There are nigiri sushi and chirashi sushi, which come in different shapes and are quite visually diverse. The contents are as follows:
🍣 Twelve Sheng $599
The twelve-sheng plate is gorgeous but not exquisite. The soy sauce and sesame are a bit like a mesh trying to cover the entire wooden plate, which is a bit rough. The most deducting thing is that every sushi is sprinkled with yellow + orange shrimp eggs. Oh my god, it looks super cheap (especially the yellow shrimp eggs, the texture is immediately reduced to zero)
The sushi itself is not bad, but there are a few dishes that are not very fresh: tuna and angel shrimp, you can taste the fishy smell. I don’t know if the fish supply was not in good condition that day, but judging from the reviews on the Internet, both kinds of fish are pretty good. , so I am commenting on this meal, maybe it’s just a case👌
My friend ordered the supreme sashimi donburi. It looked very rich, and the prawn in the middle looked even bigger and more delicious. However, when I took a bite, I noticed that it also had a fishy smell...the prawn head had a stronger taste, and in the end I didn't dare to suck the head at all. . A friend said that the tuna in the sashimi also had a fishy smell. OK, it seemed that there was something wrong with today's batch of tuna.
I don't think the extra price for the set meal is necessary. The miso soup is very ordinary, just the common Taiwanese noodle soup. You can refill the bowl for free, but I wouldn't want to refill it. The side dishes were not impressive either, the chawanmushi was just okay.
Overall, I think it's not as good as the reviews on Google, and I won't want to visit again. I'll probably give it two stars~
