| - Amazing. This place has the freshest sushi I have ever tasted. I used to think I knew fresh fish, but clearly I was wrong. Once I ate the yellowtail nigiri here, it was so flavorful and delicious that I thought he must have killed the fish himself just a few seconds earlier. (I found out later that this was, in fact, the case.) Same went for the baby tuna, and the salmon, and it was simply amazing.
I'd definitely try the Monkey Brain, it was amazingly good, with a shiitake mushroom, cream cheese, and spicy tuna on top, covered in tempura and fried. Very good. They have an interesting selection of other fish, as well, and the rolls are pretty good, too. Keep in mind, from 11:30 to 3, Mon-Sat, they have happy hour, which many of the sushi items are half off, and this is what I recommend to just sit and sample the fresh nigiri. If you come at dinner, get the rolls. All of them are gigantic, and more than worth the full price.
The place itself is very well decorated, with stone and contemporary stylings, although the music in there can be hit or miss. I've been there about 3 times now, and one time it was bouncy loud hip-hop crap with repetitive rhythms and vocalists who talk the whole time instead of singing. The second time it was techno remixes of pop songs, and that was more bearable. The third time was nice, with more Japanese style singing and a little bit of a trance feel, and a little bit of a big-band feel.
Very good place over all... Freshest fish I've ever had.
