| - Bottom Line Up Front: Bei is a delightful surprise! Great quality, fresh fish, awesome happy hour!
FOOD: 4/5
I kept it original and ordered Sushi Nigiri for Salmon, Yellowtail, and Uni. I also asked for fresh wasabi. To share with the group, I also ordered the Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. The fish was very great quality especially the salmon. The only downside was the Uni. I would give it a 3/5 based on freshness but all the other fish and dishes made up for it. The prices are very fair and again the quantity provided was amazing. The Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl is not a true poke bowl in the sense that the fish were all shopped up. It begs the question is they are using quality parts of the fish or if they are including scraps and chopping it up to hide this. I hope the former. In any case, it was very good with a healthy ratio of fish to rice. It was nibbled on by three people and it was enough. Be sure to check-in as we had two specials -- free miso soup and free edamame!
SERVICE: 5/5
I can't remember her name! Monami? Monoma? She was extremely attentive and constantly coming by to check on our water, orders, and just overall satisfaction -- all with a smile. She definitely sets the model standard for service and I hope all the others are at least as good as her. The food came out as ordered and with a reasonable amount of time.
AMBIANCE/DECOR: 3/5
It definitely is better than what you'd expect from its location and its view from the outside. I felt a little more like I was in an art gallery with the super white LED lighting and spaciousness. However, I am big on the quality and service categories and not so much on the ambiance/decor so this doesn't really play a huge factor. For me it was ok.
PRICE: 5/5
We came during happy hour so many of the rolls came out to be a dollar less. Overall, I paid for spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, spicy ahi tuna poke bowl, uni nigiri, salmon nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, and two orders of fresh wasabi. With Yelp's check-in, I was able to get free Miso Soups and free edamame. My total bill came out to be around $55 less tip and tax. Not bad at all!
