"All the way in the heart of Moraga; I only wish this place was worth the trip. The food was just OK. I just didn 't have the love for this place the way other Yelpers do. Maybe because the day was just super hot. Pretty good tasting food, but nothing special or reason for me to easily give five stars or even make the drive way out there. Upon arrival, the dining area appeared small and looked like it needs a bit of cleaning. Even worse is the lack of ventilation, especially on a 90 degree day. I thought I was gonna eat Chinese food, but instead their menu had a large variety of Asian food to choose from. Kinda reminded me of the Asian food eateries in Dublin IR. We weren 't really greeted at the front, until someone in the back assuming the manager) pointed and said you can sit anywhere . Okie! The waitress was nice, but had a hard time understanding us. We were new, and we simply asked 'what 's good ' or 'what were they known for '. She seemed lost, or didn 't know how to respond. Oh boy! What we ordered: 5 piece Sashimi: We ended up with the Nigiri Sashimi Combo. With tuna nigiri $5) two small but fresh pieces over rice, and salmon sashimi pieces $7.30) also good and fresh, but 'yikes ' on the price! The Moraga Roll $16 yikes again) Tempura shrimp, crabmeat, avocado, buried, yes buried, under tempura flakes and sauce. Crunch, ok yes, pretty good. Rice was okay, but was a bit cold for a supposed fresh sushi rice. It just didn 't justify the price. Super Crunchy Roll $15) Crabmeat, avocado, tempura flakes and sauce. Boy was I fooled! Add the tempura shrimp, and I 've got a Moraga Roll. The ol ' switch 'a 'roo trick on the menu. Check out my pics on how buried in flakes both rolls ended up. We did get a free sprite and free chow mein served to us, and I was full. But overall, I went to the wrong place expecting good sushi and the price wasn 't worth the long drive. Also, looking at the Chinese entrees being $10 12 is like, WTH!!! The manager was really nice, and he even gave us a big bag of fruit as a kind gesture. I really wanted to give a third star, but nothing earned it. I just don 't see myself coming back any time soon."
