| - Fresh fish, genuinely attentive service, and a great atmosphere, all at affordable prices. What a pleasant surprise to hungrily stumble upon!
Using everything from clusters of little tea light candle holders to an upturned wicker basket with a candle inside it, the lighting and atmosphere is warm and inviting. Booths and tables of all sizes are divided with wooden dividers and Japanese curtains for maximum intimacy.
The chirashi, ($14.95) served with an appetizing little rice wine vinegar dressed green salad and fresh tofu miso soup, was the most unique and creative I've had...well, ever. Besides the usual sashimi slices of salmon, tuna, and tai, there were also warm saucy unagi slices and mini nigiri of spicy tuna mixed with crunchy tempura bits all laid out scrumptiously on a bed of sweet and vinegary warm rice. There was even a complimentary scoop of suspiciously fluorescent, yet satisfyingly mangoey ice cream at the end of the meal.
The service was impeccable. Lengthy conversations with a steady stream of regulars coming by to pick up take away as well as directions for me were conducted in broken, but sincere English. I was able to devour my courses hurriedly with the aid of my most helpful server, but would highly suggest that you visit Samjung Sushi for a nice intimate dinner instead.
