| - Some of these reviews are funny. I've never been to half-off night (nor would I ever, that's asking to be disappointed anywhere you go), I never order rolls, and I ate between lunch and dinner so it was not busy - take my review based on those facts.
I sat at the sushi bar and ordered through the sushi chef. I asked him to make me a chirashi and he obliged. This wasn't on the menu, but any sushi chef in he world knows what it is and how to make it. It was exceptional. The fish was fresh, not vacuum-sealed frozen garbage like some other places in Ohio (I'm looking at you Otani!), and the arrangement was gorgeous. It included albacore, yellowtail, standard maguro tuna, salmon, and octopus over a bed of sushi rice garnished with flying fish roe. The chef also included a cup of albacore in a sauce of jalapeƱo, vinegar and ginger (how tuna tataki is commonly served except without the sear). Nice spread.
The only thing I can suggest is that additional sashimi be added to he menu. The lack of scallop, mackerel, snapper and giant clam for example is a shortcoming. However, I overlooked this because the meal I had was top-notch.
I will be going again. You should too. Ask for a chirashi and thank me later.
