| - If we could give a 4.5, we would. Great sushi and atmosphere. When we walked up, we thought it was closed because the windows are so tinted and the lights low. Luckily, they were open and not too busy on a Sunday night at 6:30-ish. It is a pretty small place with 3 1/2 booths, probably 6 tables and then the sushi bar.
We were seated and handed the sushi order form but no other menu. We noticed black books on other tables and grabbed them. It was the full drink and food menu and then a photo album with pictures of the sushi rolls and descriptions of what is inside them. Helpful for sushi novices or for anyone regarding their specials.
We were there during happy hour (daily until 7:30!) and ordered many items on the inexpensive list (Cali roll under $3!). Veggie tempura to start and the sauce was so good. (Our wimpy roll ;-) )Crunch, Cali and AZ rolls were all on the list and were extremely fresh and tasty. The Las Vegas roll has rave reviews on here but was probably the roll we liked least of our bunch. The AZ was unique and crazy good! It tastes like a fried Cali roll with a seafood salad and yummy sauce on top.
We also appreciated that the presumed owner went around checking on tables. I know many complained about the timing of the sushi being too spaced but we actually appreciated it. We had a few minutes after tempura before our two non-fancy rolls arrived and then 10-15 min after, as we were finishing up, they brought our last two. Especially with fried rolls, we liked being able to focus on those while fresh and hot.
The only slight negatives would be not being given menus and we had no set server for our table. There were about three different waitresses checking on our table throughout the meal and they would ask the same questions as the server prior to them. We did get a correct order, refills on our drinks, and our bill in a timely manner. Thus, not unforgivable. :-) Definitely found our new local sushi spot.
