| - YAY, went out to eat again :)
Tonight's trip brought to us by girlfriends b-day, this went much better than last years ....that I forgot :( Come on, its a couple days after Christmas, its a hectic time.
Arrived Monday night about 5:30 pm, lots of parking. The entrance is large with fish for the kids to get excited about and ample waiting area, although we strolled right in. The place is split in two with an average length bar with 2 and 4 top table seating. There are also 2 semi private rooms that I first thought was traditional Japanese seating until I saw people slipping their legs under the tablecloth !! So basically you step up on a platform, then sit down on thin cushion. There are No full booths, but one wall of 1/2 booth seats. Floors are a bit slick when wet so be careful if you're there with wet shoes. And if your petty, they play "jazz" music, might not have been an issue but I was directly under a BOSE speaker, I almost missed the typical twangy Asian restaurant music.
Anyway, about our Dining experience.
Monday/Tues happy hr is 1/2 price sushi maki rolls 5-7 pm so we took full advantage of that !! We started out with the calamari, and it was great. A full heaping plate full the size of onion rings !! I wasn't a fan of the dipping sauce, but still ate it nonetheless. (8 bucks, its 5 on wed/thurs) we had two huge platters of various sushi rolls and left nothing behind !! (11 rolls total) plus a white tuna Sashimi that was awesome !! sliced thick and very good ...a 1st for me and I thought it good with zero "fishy fish " taste. ( I hate fishy tasting fish) The rest of the sushi we had was great, the rolls were cut small easy one bites worth without looking like someone cramming at an eating competition . I'm not a fan of seaweed on the outside of my sushi so none of ours was made in that fashion (can't stand the texture) .

While waiting for the food to arrive I took a stroll to the hibachi side and it was very large with ample seating and double grills for large parties. There was only a few people seated at 5:30 or so but the place was near capacity with only 2 free tables by 7:00 when we left. There was some smoke in the air on the hibachi side but that's to be expected since you're sitting in the kitchen !!
Our total before tip was under $50 with no drinks or x-traxs. I would go again but if you like to go nuts, Mon/Tues is your best value since its 1/2 off maki rolls.
