Besuto Sushi Bar

*3.5 stars for Besuto*
I was in town for work and had enough Polish cuisine. I was craving sushi and Besuto had good reviews on Unilocal.I went on a weeknight for dinner and we got a sushi set that had salmon, tuna, crab rolls, baked salmon roll, tuna rolls and tamago. I also tried the baked scallops and unagi and rice dish. I think the sushi rice needed some vinegar and there was too much rice under the fish. The tastier items in the set were the tuna roll and crab rolls. The fish was fresh but I knew going into it that the sushi wasn’t going to be like sushi in LA but it was fine. The baked scallops were served on a shrimp chip in sweet sauce but the sauce was way too sweet and made the chip soggy. The unagi and rice was fine but also on the sweeter side. The atmosphere was modern and sheek. I loved the cute paper lights and the service was excellent. Overall a decent place if you’re craving something other than hearty Polish food.

Place is ok, staff seems friendly, but not quite sure whether the young Polish chefs had training from anyone who has a remote link to Japan. Sushi looks beautiful, and bean spouts are apparently de rigueur as garnish, but the rice was unfortunately overcooked, which makes the entire sushi experience rather chewy. Starter (Japanese dumplings) was really nice. In all, not horrible, but given the price, not quite good either.
