Sushi craving kicked in and we wanted to avoid the downtown traffic after a UW football game, so we looked a little further and found VIP. I was a little skeptical by the spotty reviews on service here, but from what I could see the sushi was really good based on other reviews. To our surprise our waitress was on point, she was quick to greet us and help us out with the menu. We wanted to do the sake bombs, and she made it work with the happy hour special- ask for regular (not flavored) sake on the happy hour menu to be warmed up and a sapporo beer if you're interested. The happy hour goes from 430-930 Thurs-Sun...what a steal. We ordered the dragon roll and hot babe roll and two spicy tuna hand rolls. The specialty sushi rolls usually come as 8 pieces and are priced 12-14$. Hand rolls are not on the menu, but we asked for them, and again she was able to accommodate us. Sushi was good, tasted fresh.
