| - This was one giant mouth orgasm. My tastebuds couldn't have been more pleased. I visited on Friday night (11/16) and I still have the Kanpachi Amberjack (baby Hamachi) on my mind. I made a reservation through a phone number that was listed on the website. I came at a fairly early time, 6:30pm, because the restaurant wasn't very busy. My guy and I ate outside on the patio, which is why I recommend making reservations for the choice seating.
There were two servers, one was supposed to be food, the other beverage. Louis, who was our beverage, was excellent; he ended up being food towards the end of our meal. The other guy was so-so, I don't even remember his name. Louis was very nice and helpful.
We ordered:
Kanpachi Amberjack, Shiromi Whitefish, Miruagi Giant Clam, Spicy Scallop roll, Hamachi Poke w/Cilantro, Garlic Chips & Citrus Soy Sauce, and Yellowtail Tartar.
The Kanpachi Amberjack was by far my favorite; so creamy, just melted in your mouth. Thank god my boyfriend is a sushi aficionado, he knows how to pick 'em! The Yellowtail Tartar also had me moaning. The clam and whitefish were a bit flavorless albeit the clam was very fresh. The best clam I've had was at Sushi Ota in San Diego (plug for them).
I forgot the name of the sake we had, it was called Star something, the Blueberry sparkling one. Hella good!!!!
We ordered the vanilla ice cream with crunchy corn and the little ube (yes they have ube!) dipping sauce for dessert, and since it was my bday they put a lil candle through it. Adorable.
The bill came out to about $135 for 2 peeps; it was all worth it. Classy joint, nice ambiance, don't wear your flip-flops.
