| - I got lucky reading some really good reviews about this place, and saw some nice pictures from fellow Yelpers to convince myself of bringing my gf on our 8th Year Anniversary! This place has one of the 'FRESHEST' sashimi EVER!!! Of course, this comes with some STEEP and not CHEAP price... Great place to dine and say you have no money and wash dishes there to pay back..haha
Smart move I made was making reservation prior to arrival! (ping...I'm a genius!) I ordered for my gf the $65 Omakase just for her. She got their classic 8 course meal.
First Round: Crab martini salad with seaweed. While this is an enjoyable dish, the crab was far and few pieces.
Second Round: White thin slice fish with ponzu sauce. Nice and tender sashimi style fish.
Third Round: 9 Pieces of Sashimi- 3 Salmon, 3 Maguro Tuna, 2 Hamachi, 1 Ebi. This is super fresh for fish, but the shrimp was a bit soggy.
4th Round: Lobster tail chopped into few chunky pieces. Very tender and enjoyable.
5th Round: Tempura Shrimp and Veggies. The batter was light and not heavy like ayce joints.
6th Round: 7 Pieces of Sushi- 1 Unagi (Freshwater Eel), 1 Sea Urchin, 1 Hamachi, 1 that looks like Hamachi as well, 1 Salmon, 1 White Fish (Not butter fish), 1 Tuna.
- My gf was getting full not mainly because of this meal, but because she had some of what I ordered extra as well which I will list afterwards. We decided to just eat the fish without the rice, and it was STILL tender and easy to chew.
7th Round: Seafood Soup Cleanser. The broth was very nice and consist of one baby scallop, one shrimp, one chinese mushroom.
8th Round: Choice of Dessert. Went with Mango Mochi which is frozen ice cream inside, but outside like gelatin texture.
We're going to the judges decision... This place is a Unaminous Winner!!!
I didn't get the Omakase course, so I ordered random a la carte stuff.
To start, I got 2x handroll of Uni (Sea Urchin) ($3 per order) and 2x Spicy Salmon Handroll. ($2.5 per order)
- The great thing about the handroll is after the first bite, there is still the toppings in there until your last bite. No disappointment there for sure!
I got the Maguro Tataki which is light sear tuna with ponzu sauce with some orange caviar and seaweed which all tasted very nice. ($6.5) per order.
Next taster was their 'Monk Fish Liver' which I read from some blogger that says its real good. I got to say that it was definitely a nice try. Uber tender, and enjoyable, but for $6.50 for two pieces...I'd maybe pass next time on.
I got their 17 pieces of fresh sashimi.($25) Has squid, scallop, tuna, salmon, hamachi, toro like fish texture, uni, and amaebi (sweet shrimp). No complaints to this one, except their shrimp which is a bit soggy.
Had to try this one for myself and gf, so I made one order of their 'TORO Sashimi' which is only 2 pieces for the STEEP price of $13!!! But its worth the try, because this ended to be one of the most memorable fish sashimi to ever be digested by our stomach juices! heh heh heh.
I also got the 'Gindara' which is black cod. Super tender and fresh tasting. But this is steep as well at $16 just for the quarter size fish. Next time I'd try their Hokke which is a japanese fish that is cheaper, but bigger portion size.
Now with all this great food, the pace of the restaurant is sometimes fast, and sometimes not. When we started off they would bring our dish fairly quickly, then there would be a halt for 15 min gap, then we would get dish quickly again and then not. I did notice they would always bring our dish first, then we would have to pass them our empties to make room. The servers' are all Japanese and very friendly, so I was fine leaving them a great tip for a hefty bill for two people. Their space capacity of holding maybe 25 people max.
Without the chef, I don't believe this place would be as prestige for certain. The service is not able to hold it together with the great food offered in this joint. I will still come back to this place, once I recuperate my losses.
