| - Heard about this place so give this place a try and glad I did - yummy. :)
Reservation is recommended and you need to do this via email and I believe it's the only way. I am ok with it since I have to use email everyday anyway. If you have any allergy or food restriction, just let them know also. The service are very friendly in my opinion.
We reserved seating at the Sushi Bar (6 seats) and I also recommend Sushi Bar seatings as well if you are planning to eat sushi - you also get to see the chef make your sushi in front of you. Based on my understanding, there are 3 timeslots for Sushi bar seating: 5:30, 7:30, and 9:30 with 2 hours each. So if this is your first time trying this restaurant like me, get the Sushi bar for the best experience and you also get to chat with the chef at the same time and ask him questions directly about the food!
We ordered the Omakase menu for $45, and I think it's what you should go for because you don't need to think about what to order. I didn't keep count, I think I get about about 6 pieces of sushi, one handroll, a sashimi dish (2 pieces), and an appetitzer. The fish are very fresh and tasty(yummy), and looks like using real wasabi. At least for the sashimi, I see the chef grated something that looks like wasabi root. As for the Sushi, not sure what wasabi is used but each sushi piece are tasty. The most memorable item for me is the handroll, the nori seaweed used is very crunchy and with very strong seaweed aroma/tastes, very like the one I tried in Zen or Shoushin. :) You gotta eat this immediately (I didn't even bother taking any pic for this handroll because I want it as crunchy as possible). And when you lightly (very lightly) dipped the end of the handroll into their homemade soy sauce before taking each byte, it's very yummy! My friend and I cannot resist and ordered another one at the end... lol!
I don't think think the Omakase portion would fill my tummy so I also ordered two more appetizers to share with my wife: Taro root with Wagyu tallow, and Maitake Salada. Both are good, For the Taro one, I really loved the sauce and the tallow, it's a really good combination and goes very well with the Taro. As for the Maitake Salada, the mushroom are organic and it is roasted so it has a very strong mushroom flavor. I find this dish is abit on the salty side but it is still very good! If I go again next time, I probably will get the Taro again - cheaper and yummier. :)
And we also tried the Wagyu beef sushi, this I would have to say it's the weakest item I have tried. It's not bad overall but for $10/piece, I would use that budget to repeat the handroll a third time (it's just me.. lol). :)
Overall, the experience is a pleasant one, good sushi, friendly service. But too bad it's located in downtown, it is quite a long travel for me... But if I am in the area again, I will go back for sure ! Thank you chef for the yummy dinner!
