| - I very much enjoyed my experience here, but I can't quite give it a five. We made a reservation for seven people. They put us at a four person table. I ended up sitting on a chair right on top of an air vent that was blowing air up my back. Not a fun starting experience. Another table cleared out, and we got moved to that table. Thankfully, that one was for six people. Service for the rest of the night was quite pleasant.
Had:
Beef yakiniku salad ($9.50) - Tasty. Beef was tender. Not worth the $9.50 price tag though. Small portion.
Shimesaba ($12.50) - Seared mackerel sashimi. Good portion for price. Blowtorched at the table. Mackerel is salty to begin with, but they have soy sauce on the side, and they also serve it with a generous amount of green onions and ginger.
Supreme assorted sashimi ($35) - Had about 20 pieces. Good value! Great assortment of sashimi. Presented beautifully. Fresh. I'd definitely order this again.
White tuna don ($16) - Tasty. Decent portion for price. Shreds of shiso leaf add an interesting flavor to it all.
Agedashi tofu ($5.90) - Four pieces. Lightest batter I've seen on agadashi tofu. Tasty. Fresh. Not cheap though.
Toriten nanban ($12) - Full portion. Tempura chicken cutlet with tartar sauce. Super tasty. Outside was crunchy. Inside was juicy. Not the cheapest, but also not particularly expensive. I'd order this again.
Soft shell crab ($15) - One of their daily specials. Tasty, but not particularly unique.
Bluefin tuna sashimi ($15/3 pieces) - Another daily special. Didn't taste it. Looked fresh. Decent portion.
Seafood yakisoba ($9.50) - Smaller portion than I'd hoped. Very tasty though.
Tonpei yaki ($9.50) - Egg omelette filled with pork and cabbage. The egg was just cooked and the entire thing was delicious. I'd definitely order this again.
Honey chicken ($6.50) - Small pieces of chicken in a terriyaki/honey-esque sauce. Tasty, but small portion for price.
Negihama roll ($6.90) - Chopped yellowtail and scallions. Eight pieces. Softest sushi rice I've ever had. In a good way. Super delicate. Quite tasty.
Volcano rainbow roll ($10.90) - Torched rainbow roll with honey sauce. I've had torched rolls much more expensive than this, and the quality on this one was superior to those ones. Bang for buck? Prolly. Torched at the table. Honey sauce makes it so much better. I'd definitely order this again.
Matcha cheesecake ($5.90?) - Came with a choice of black sesame, ginger, or green tea ice cream, if I recall correctly. We had the black sesame. They served the good kind. A lot of places have grey colored black sesame. This place has the black kind. It's stronger in flavor. Yum. I don't know whether I enjoyed the ice cream and the cheesecake together, but the black sesame was on point, and the cheesecake was tasty.
tl;dr:
pass: honey chicken, negihama roll (Pay more. Get another volcano), softshell crab, bluefin tuna (Had it once before. Would rather get another supreme assorted sashimi), agedashi tofu, beef yakiniku salad.
maybe: matcha cheesecake, seafood yakisoba, white tuna don, white tuna don, shimesaba.
definitely order again: volcano rainbow roll, tonpei yaki, toriten nanban, supreme assorted sashimi.
Final thoughts: Not a cheap sushi place, but good quality makes up for it. Tiny place, so make sure to make a reservation. Grandpa started by saying this place was dilapidated, but his final thought was that it was the best Japanese meal he's ever had. Cute.
