I must admit that I am a sushi/sashimi snob.
Nothing but the best fish does it for me. But I also want friendly, courteous and prompt service to complement the food. Very often sushi places fall short on this account.
This evening, after a rigorous workout at the gym, I decided to reward myself with sashimi. I had been to Kodo one time before and it was a great experience. That time I was with other dining companions (two of the under 7 years of age) and that can be a tricky proposition. As it turned out it was. The less than fully potty trained 3 year old had an accident and all hell broke loose with his mother. So the circumstances were less than optimal.
This evening I was alone. And the experience was sublime.
The fish was fresh (toro, yellowtail and salmon). OMG! The sushi chefs were so engaged and the conversation was terrific. The fellow seated next to me at the sushi bar turned out to be a Buckeye and a foodie. You know what that means: terrific conversation.
So, it appears that this is now my go to place for sushi/sashimi. My next visit here will be for the omakase.
