Um, yeeeeahhh, about this place. No way to avoid sounding like a stuck up ass here, but if this is the best meal you've ever had, then enjoy your first trip out of Buffalo!
We did the $150 omakase or whatever the top one was. Wanted to see their A game. Very disappointing. The quality of the sushi serves here was akin to any mid to low level sushi spot in NYC or California. Think Haru. Ok. Not great. We say at the counter for the full experience. Let me highlight that for you:
1.A really sweet guy who has been working with sushi for 7 months (his last job was at a Mexican chain it came up in conversation) who is trying his best and working his ass off but has zero training.
2. A drunk Japanese chef who I am sure used to be great and could still be so but is more interested in free sake and leering at the women in the restaurant.
All in with drinks and tip was $700. Would have been better off just eating that.
So sorry Yasuda, I will never cheat on you again!
Ps- would be remiss in omitting that some of the cooked dishes that came out of the kitchen were actually quite good, but we came her for sushi.
