| - Arrived at 8:15pm on a Friday night and had to wait 20min for a table for three, the place is small and there's not many tables due to the partitions that seclude each table. We were fortunate that some other tables before us gave up on waiting as that helped shorten the wait time, and you can easily pass the time by thinking about what to order as the dine in and take out menu are the same.
Each table is partitioned off so you don't look face to face with any other tables, and even keeps the noise down. The seclusion creates a more intimate ambiance and let's you focus on your food and your company as opposed to checking out what others ordered. However this makes it a bit tougher for waiters to see you, so actively raise your hand if you need something.
We ordered a sushi and sashimi combo (~40pcs), 2 miso soups, and a seaweed salad to share among three girls. It was the perfect amount of food as the sushi had reasonable amounts of rice, the sashimi was reasonably sized, and the seaweed salad was a good portion for the price. All in all I had no complaints about the food. The fish was fresh and the rice was well flavoured and stuck together with the fish for the sushi. Plating was simple but still attractive - great for photos!
All in all, from an à la carte sushi perspective I had no complaints, the price to quality was reasonable and quality was on the good side. I did notice that tempura orders are a little skimpy for the price, and the variety of dons, bentos, and noodles is limited. There's a large variety of specialty rolls, though majority of them are generic fillings that cater to a wider audience (raw fish eaters and non-raw fish eaters). I would've liked to see more specialty items and variety in their combo deals.
