Food: Solid seafood, shaky execution

Mutsumi, while praised for fresh seafood like the Live Scallop Sashimi, Sweet Shrimp, and Tuna Steak, loses points due to a blend of deficiencies. While freshness is beyond reproach and chefs' ingenuity impresses occasionally, diners often leave damning critiques regarding taste, portion sizes, and variety of options on the menu. Combine these factors with value concerns surrounding overpriced dishes, and the menu seems as palatable as raw ginger.

  • Great Quality

    Fish sourced fresh, often from Japan, ensuring a premium sushi experience.

  • Okay Taste

    Reviews often mention good food yet marred by poor service.

  • Small Portions

    Portions very small, diners left unsatisfied with size on multiple occasions.

Vibe: Cramped scenes and mild buzz

Complaints galore surround the ambiance at Mutsumi. The cramped interiors coupled with dim, rather lifeless, lighting, drain the place of inviting vibes. Adequate for an unwinding beer but not for a date night, the vibe here leaves a sour taste. A bustle of activity, a local buzz, tries in vain to energize the atmosphere.

  • Great Buzz

    Popular spot, buzzing with no disappointments, indicates a lively scene.

  • Okay Drinks

    Good imported beer selection, provides a quiet, unwinding atmosphere.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Complaints of cramped space, dim lighting, and uninviting atmosphere.

Perks: Negligent service, juice box not included

Packed like a can of sushi, Mutsumi makes for a stressful parking experience. While table reservations may come easy, customers wade through loud chatter from the staff. Matters turn for worse for families with kids and large groups; inhospitable service, coupled with lack of kid-friendly and group-friendly provisions, add up to a diner's nightmare.

  • Easy To Reserve

    Easy to be seated later at night with great service provided

  • Bad For Kids

    Not friendly at the sushi bar if dining with your kids.
