I was parking nearby and went for a stroll and stumbled across this place. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, food quality and service. I had the Chefs special sushi deluxe which came with miso soup and salad. I was by myself and sat at sushi bar. Service was prompt and accurate and I was in and out in 20 pleasant minutes. The chefs, TVs and server kept me company. It was very pleasant. Remember to tip well.

I returned here and had a number of different types of rolls. All the fish appeared very fresh and of high quality from what I could tell. The ones I tried are below. Cosplay Roll - This was a special roll on the night I attended. It was rice paper wrapped salmon with spicy crunchy salmon, avocado, and mango sauce. This had a different texture to it because of the rice paper presence. It was very light, and the presence of the sesame seeds was a nice added touch. Tango Roll - This had a tuna and avocado filing that was topped with yellowtail, jalapeno, onion, and a jalapeno cicras sauce. This was my favorite roll of the day. I just really enjoyed all the toppings coming together. The sauce made it that much better too. Spicy Mama Roll - This contained spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy salmon, and asparagus wrapped by comdu seaweed. This was alright. It was my least favorite tried of the day, but I would still order it again. I liked the slight crunch from the asparagus. Tsuru Roll - This had a white fish tempura, spicy tuna, and avocado topped with black pepper tuna, tobiko, spicy coconut and a cilantro mayo. This was another pleasant tasting roll. I did not get a real good taste of the spicy coconut, however. The cilantro mayo provided a different touch to the overall roll. Mystic Roll - This had a spicy crunch tuna and an avocado filing with a tuna and red wine pear on top with black rice and a special sauce. I was most intrigued in trying this one because of the pear present. I never saw that with a sushi roll before and it did not disappoint. The pear had just enough sweetness to work well with the rest of the components of this roll. Sweet Potato Roll - This was extremely large. The warm sweet potato filing was soft and tasty.

I have been going to Tsuru for almost a decade, and it never disappoints. Always fresh, quality, delicious sushi. Price has went up significantly over the past year, but I don't blame the restaurant for that since the price of everything has gone up ever since Biden became President, and the price is similar to comparable places in the area. Highly recommend the Ajisai Roll or the Atlanta Roll (or both!) with a side of the spicy mayo. The Hand Rolls are delicious also, always packed to the brim with fresh fish!
