“There's nothing creative about this place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2009

We live down the street from this place, so we decided to try Creative Sushi tonight. (Unfortunately, we did not check TA before going.) The results were very disappointing. We ordered the spicy tuna roll, the spider roll (crab), spring rolls, and the vegetable tempura. The spicy tuna roll had a yellowish tint to it. After trying one bite, we... More

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2006

Went to Creative Sushi tonight. We were very hungry, but the service was painfully slow and inconsistent. The portions were stingy: only 5 little pieces per roll at prices comparable to what I'm used to paying for at least 8 pieces. The rolls tasted somewhat stale; possibly because this is such a small restaurant without a lot of turnover. Overall,... More
