Wow â this was a GREAT meal! It was our second trip to this Wegmanâs-owned restaurant, and it was every bit as good as our first visit. I had a memorable beet salad for my appetizer, and the poke bowl for my entrée. I thought they were both superb, and the setting was wonderful as well. (The décor inside this place is pretty trendyâ¦nice!) I highly recommend this restaurant for the experience and the fine dining.

I wanted to give Plum Garden a second chance. It's been a couple years since I made my first visit, and that wasn't too spectacular. Not quite sure where to go on a Sunday evening for mid-lunch, I gave it another go. We called in to make reservations at 4pm, but were told to 'go ahead and walk in.' We walked in, were greeted and sat down on the diner side. I have to note, the diner side is one of the best Japanese looking restaurants I've seen. I absolutely love the way how everything is laid out with the décor, and the overall atmosphere. If the diner side was a stand alone restaurant, I think it'd look wonderful. We placed in our appetizer (Gyoza) which did take a bit longer than expected to receive. Being only two couples in the restaurant (us included), we're not sure what was the hold up. When we finally received the gyoza, these were very tasty. Tender, tasted homemade but on the lukewarm side. I then saw a "special appetizer" on the small plastic stand on the table, and ordered that as well. It was baby octopus "Ee Taco." These small little guys were tasty and accompanied with a tasty sauce. Placing in a couple kitchen entrees alongside with a handful of nigiri and a roll, these came out in a reasonable time. For the entrees, we opted for the Nabeyaki Udon, and Unaju. The Nabeyaki Udon was tasty and I don't have any complaints. The only thing that threw me off, is there was a piece of chicken in the bowl which from my experience a Nabeyaki Udon doesn't contain chicken. Normally just shrimp tempura and vegetables (as it states on the menu). Good thing I wasn't a vegetarian (who can eat seafood). As for the Unaju, it was a nice piece of eel on top of rice in a box with a top. I have no complaints here, but nothing that blew my mind. I've had better Eel bowls elsewhere. As for the assortment of nigiri, I ordered tuna, mackerel, salmon, egg, octopus, squid, yellowtail, sweet shrimp, toro, scallop, and uni. These are why I drop a star. The tuna and salmon both tasted fishy. Color wise, looked fine, but taste wise was off. Same for the uni. Wasn't the freshest, but passible. The one disappointment that really struck me hard was the toro. Mind you, these are $5 per piece. The slices were extremely too thin, and literally not unified with the rice whatsoever. Seemed like they were just placed on top. Not only that, but again for $5 a piece, I expected them to be at least sliced decently. As you can see in one of my pictures, the piece wasn't sliced correctly and looked like one end was ripped off. There was a peculiar pinkish liquid left on the plate after picking up a piece of toro nigiri. Taste wise, these weren't bad. But I've had better. I also want to note the rice formed underneath the nigiri was too sporadic. From different lengths, and to different amounts. Onto the roll, I only have one complaint which is I wished it was wrapped tighter. But other than that, it was tasty and presented pretty standardly. Now we get to why I'm deducting yet another star. When we finally received our appetizer, I can over hear some conversation by the staff. It was between the sushi chef, and the wait staff. I'm not one to eavesdrop, but from what I had caught, a hibachi chef called off and now the sushi chef is called to take over and cook for a table. This set the sushi chef on a rampage. Cuss words here and there. We were sitting the furthest away from the sushi bar, but we heard everything. It was crystal clear the sushi chef wasn't happy. Besides the cussing, we then heard some utensils being thrown around, clanging in the kitchen and at the sushi bar. Regardless of the situation, we thought it was unprofessional to cuss around customers, let alone throw things around and throw a tantrum. This made us feel uncomfortable, especially since he was still working on our order. Flicking the order receipts off his sushi counter onto the customer seating counter below just set a bad vibe. This behavior left a bad taste in our mouths. Overall, I wanted to give this restaurant a second chance because I remembered how beautiful the interior was, and hope the rice wasn't mushy this second time around. None of the nigiri blew me away, the time we waited for our appetizer, and the behavior and attitude of the sushi chef are the main reasons I won't be returning to Plum Garden.

Here at Sakura Home, you can experience not only traditional style sushi, but also new style-sushi, which is an innovative Japanese style of presenting sushi. We are one of the first restaurants to bring this style of sushi to Rochester. Sakura Home alway

Our regular "out-to-lunch bunch" met here for a sushi lunch last week, and once again it was really good. Their sushi chefs always do a great job of putting together dishes that are both tasty and esthetically pleasing. I had my "regular" sushi lunch plate that was superb. Even the salad dressing on the salads is great. We had a very nice server, too...all in all a wonderful experience.

I believe that I last reviewed this restaurant over 3 years ago. It actually has been under new ownership now, but the new owners and prior owners worked together closely to insure that there were no transition pains. The new owners have been in place for about 2 years now, perhaps a bit longer, and the food, atmosphere and service are still absolutely superb. We were there today for lunch, and I often order the Sweet Thai Basil dish, which comes with soup (delicious and made from scratch with fresh vegetables that are crisp and haven't been sitting in broth for hours) and pork roll (handmade and delicious---no frozen stuff served here). Also choice of white or brown rice (no extra charge) and all of this is extremely reasonably priced. The owner's wife serves during the day and everyone is polite, courteous and focused on providing the best service to go along with the incredible food. Also, I am not a sushi eater, but I've been told by numerous people who frequent the restaurant that the fresh sushi is like nothing they've ever had. Highly recommend.
