I went here with the wife yesterday and I must admit I was surprisingly pleased with this place even though we had been years earlier. It's not that I was blown away (it's a pretty typical looking sushi restaurant; Bamboo plants, rice paper booth walls that look like you could jump through them, etc), however there were a few small things that stood out.
1. The service as fairly prompt.
2. With the sushi dinner ($17.50-19.50) there are a couple of extra starters other than the miso and salad most places give.
a. a cube of giggly tofu with sauteed onions (1st)
b. a little bowl with small fork full sized amount of noodles in broth (like those cup-a-noodles type noodle only not junky) (2nd)
(...and this is the one that got me thinking.)
3. the shrimp sashimi wasn't rubbery and ghetto. Usually this is the worst part of any sushi dinner I've had, but this shrimp was still fresh and crisp. I was surprised.
The only thing I noticed was that the sushi wasn't really "cold" when it arrived. It was room temperature and I'm not used to that. It was however pretty fresh, and the pieces were larger than normal.
We walked in on a Tuesday around 7pm and there were lots of empty tables. I suspect you could stroll in here most weeknights without a reservation and get a seat. Its not really busy.
