We walked in to see approximately 3 tables of Couples and a Single Lady at the Sushi Bar. Yup, this place had reservations on pretty much all other tables. EXCEPT for mine. :P
We were offered to go into the Sushi Bar area rather than the Cafe area. Good thing I'm too lazy to reserve on this Weeknight. The place setting were all offered as in Chopstick Holder, Soya Sauce Dish, Ceramic Cup but we were still given Wooden Chopsticks(?). The Ceramic Tea Cup was impossible to hold for my friend as the heat penetrates it completely unless you have asbestos fingers.
#1 Cafe Michi Sushi Set($18.95) which I thought was quite reasonable however there are small details lacking. Sushi is an art-form therefore I will critic it as so, it's only fair. This was only considered acceptable value since Cake Slice and App Salad was given, however no Miso Soup.
The California Roll was yummy but my Yelp friend would say "where's the Black Sesame". The END pieces were also facing up which breaks up the uniform 6-piece Rolls. In terms of the Sushi, I only fault it for the Snapper having a rip right in the middle.
#2 San-Shoku Chirashi($27.50) although with a modern presentation, I felt a bit overpriced here especially when the Squid, Octopus pieces could barely be considered a morsel. The Salmon seemed to be in half slice which just lacked that satisfaction factor.
Mocha Cake had Mocha smoothness once you let the solid state Buttercream melt in your tongue. It is good but not better than the Green Tea Cake which was light fluffy with Green Tea flavour while the Creamy portion was reminiscent of Green Tea Ice Cream.
All this said and done, Le Cafe Michi is still 4 *Star* worthy. Especially the Sushi Chef was so patient and friendly in handling the drunk disturbing Lady whom should have went to an Izakaya instead. He was still in FOCUS on his busy task at hand, my hats off to ye.
Good place to take a Friend for a quiet Birthday dinner since the Cake Slice was included in the Specials. :P
