| - Another great meal, this time with a couple of friends. Our friends are newer to sushi on a whole but they were blown away by the creative things KC setup for us. We tried a few new things and my friends had a white tiger roll amongst many, other rolls.
I think they just found their new honey hole for sushi. I was happy to take them.
Hospitality again was bang on, service as we needed anything, I normally drink their cold green tea and I never was without. Saba, again was perfect and flavorful - we had more sashimi this time. Everything was flavorful and tasted fresh.
Here is the kicker with this place. For sushi, in the valley it is really reasonable. We have other choices in the Surprise / Glendale area but for my money and either way I have to drive somewhere to get sushi, they get my business. They have the right combination of not being too big, not having too many crazy rolls (he does make creative things but he doesn't have 10000 rolls, and almost all of them are NOT DEEP FRIED) and really good quality fish.
It is an intimate experience in a small restaurant with people that really value you being there. I think in the last month I've been there 4 times and they always make us feel like we're guests in their home, and they serve us with such care you just want to go back. Little touches like mocchi after the meal, light salads to start, heck this time the sweetheart even gave us a bottle of sake to take home with us, as a thank you.
They have set a really high standard that I hope they can keep. It definitely seems like they have all of the kinks worked out and they are definitely firing on all cylinders.
Also, it was a tuesday, after 8pm, and the place was steady with take out orders and table orders. A very good sign.
Keep up the excellent work, we'll be back next week :)
