| - I have been struggling to find good quality sushi in the burgh, and I think this place may be my new go to! I ordered the sashimi donburi and hot and sour soup - the meal comes with choice of soup, love that.
Food takeaways: Their fish is very fresh and their house soy sauce is good enough to drink. Seriously, I definitely consumed more of that sensational soy than would be recommended by a physician. The soup was very tasty and the sashimi was obviously high quality. My only complaint with the food was that the single slice of "salmon" in my dish was clearly the last fatty end hunk that should have been trimmed off before they even turned that fish into sushi. It was pretty heavily laced with white fat and the back of the cut was all white and tough. Bummer, since I'm a salmon lover. Would have preferred if they just replaced the salmon with something else if they were out or running low. That being said, I would order it again and am definitely coming back for some of the other mouth watering dishes being whisked by to other tables.
Service takeaways: Meh? It is a very small establishment, yet I waited a good five minutes before even seeing a server or bartender to be seated...from signs in the window, looks like they're hiring so maybe they're just under staffed right now. Also, my server wouldn't seat me at one of the three available bar high tops insisting they wanted to save those for a party larger than one. I get it, I was dining alone. However, it was a pretty steady but not crazy busy Sunday night and there were plenty of available seats in the bar and dining room for bigger parties. I simply would have been more comfortable at one of the high tops. Also CASH ONLY which is a slight inconvenience to this card carrying millennial.
All in all, quite good! I'm willing to put up with weird service and a trip to the ATM for sushi this good. I will definitely be back!
