Congratulations (and kudos) to Mo C Mo C Japanese Cuisine on Tulane St. in Princeton for the nice review by Karla Cook in today’s New York Times. I’ve dined there a couple of times now, and posted the first time. And I can attest to the bounty of the chirashi dish that is pictured in the review. it was a very good version, and outshone skimpier and more expensive versions I’ve had.
That dish, an assortment of seafood arrayed on sushi rice, is my “test” of a sushi restaurant. There’s no place for poor quality to hide (or in sashimi and nigiri, either), unlike with the fancy-schmancy rolls that are so popular. All those ingredients together in a roll are often too much of a mash-up for me…why is it I so quickly tired of that? But those rolls are hugely popular and just seem to grow and grow in intricacy. But I seem to be going more and more in the direction of “simple is good,” when it comes to food.
It’s on my list of places to try…but,Faith, it really bugs me that their website menu has no prices. It seems unnecessarily snooty. I like to know what to expect-even Elements has prices on its website, and that is certainly a higher end place.
