| - Last weekend, Kat and I were hit with post-work hunger pangs - hard. It was a Sunday night, aka. Yr City's a Sucker Time, when nothing at all is open downtown except pubs - and this place. It is hard to say no to a Japanese place that is open late, so we walked in (although "staggered inside with weakness" might paint a better picture) and were promptly seated in a cozy booth, next to a heavily tattooed couple in the adjacent cozy booth. We four had two cozy moments. Menus were dispersed, orders quickly taken, and food reasonably quickly served.
We tried the takoyaki balls (well-seasoned, but tiny piece of octopus), I had a miso soup (standard quality, although a big Western-style spoon?? Points off for missed aesthetics!), and we shared the standard bearer of a sushi place: California rolls. Fantastic, though it might have been the hunger speaking.
For the mains, I had the unagi roll and Kat had the other standard bearer, the Katsu don. I was not prepared for the entire roll to be deep-fried (although I was hungry, it WAS late and I prefer to keep it light by that time), and it took away from the fish; all I could taste by the end was batter. Her Katsu don was slightly better, though I have tasted superior ones in other places. Overall, it is worth a visit if its late and you are in the area and craving sushi and nothing else is open.
