text: Put simply it may be the case that the Cowfish is overrated Located next to the shopping mall underneath an apartment building I do not want to be associated with people who live in apartments basically on top of a mall Ick the Cowfish restaurant seems wildly popular It has nearly reviews in the solid redorange range of four stars My wife and I could not get a table at on January so we sat at the barnnHere you can get sushi or burgers or a combo of both I guess this means your health nut friends and your obese unhealthy friends can all get together in one restaurant For that Cowfish many kudos In fact more restaurants should be heading in this direction And for that you deserve four stars Below is why I knocked it down a notchnnStep inside the bathroom and you hear automated recordings of a man and a woman taking on a faux North Carolina hick redneck accent and spewing off a number of homespun axioms I wish I could remember a few but they were things like Do not pee on my back and call it rain and they were repeated ad nauseam It was truly difficult to bear The next reason Cowfish drops a notch is simply due to its service It took forever to get a food order and when we did the food arrived fairly quickly I ordered some edamame and sushi The edamame was good and not too salty The sushi was also good spicy tuna and vegetarian rolls They were wrapped pretty well you got a good piece of fish in there and it tasted freshnnOn the walls are the paintings that are humorous takeoffs on famous paintings or art Some seem mildly offensive or distasteful One of them is an Asian Mona Lisa What Another is a rendering of Picassos Guernica which depicts the German bombing of a Basque region during the Spanish Civil War It is a pretty gutwrenching painting of a solemn topic But in the Cowfishs rendering all the character people suffering and fleeing from a Nazi bombing are COWS It is just not in good taste Granted some of the painting are actually funnynnTo top it of after I paid my server started awkwardly joking with me as I fiddled with my phone I know you want to dance he quipped to the loud pop music pumping in the background It is okay Go ahead and dance Where was all this attention when I wanted to order a meal I managed a polite if feeble grin and got the heck outta there
