| - This place is seriously good.
Walking in, the staff is always quick to greet and seat you, and I think we've been fortunate enough to always come at a good time. It never seems to be overcrowded.
I eat a lot of sushi, and it's easy to get familiar with the taste, or find something that really stands out. The rolls here are flavorful, and fresh tasting, and it makes ordering additional rolls a little too easy. The nice thing about these rolls is that they fill you up without making you feel stuffed or like you've gorged and are going to regret it later. Some sushi doesn't always fly with me. This has remained consistently pleasant.
Also of note is their sake. The have a sampler that offers fiji apple, plum, and raspberry. Honestly, I can't recommend one over another. They're all good, and like the sushi, they don't overwhelm. You will likely feel comfortable after a few, and really that's the way I prefer it. We had a dinner party tonight, and bought a full bottle of the plum assortment. Whee-ha. No complaints.
As mentioned earlier, the staff is nice. There are certain sushi places that always want you to try samples from the chef. We've tried these salty little pancake type appetizers that were a nice filler, and tonight, they wanted us to try this smoked fish head platter. I appreciate the thoughtfulness. What I did try was actually quite good, as it came with this vinegaresque sauce, but push comes to shove, I don't think it's going to be a regular thing. Still, it was a brave, new experience, and I like to be nudged out of the comfort zone once in a while. I blame the sake.
A few times in, I'm consistently pleased. It's consistently good, which means a lot, has a great overall flavor, and the staff are attentive and friendly. I fluctuate from sushi place to sushi place. Some stay, others I end up making a one time meal, but this place is quite alright, and I can easily recommend this little place to friends.
