| - I give this place about 4 stars.
6.5/10 stars for the quality
9/10 stars for the value.
8.5/10 for services
7.5/10 overall (not an average)
This place was one of my favorites (until hwy 7 started doing constructions, my workplace being too far from this place, etc). Still, I find time to come here from time to time.
While the quality is not the top of the line here (like Aoyama, Jabistro, etc), but the quality is still great while keeping the prices really low. I think their prices haven't changed for at least 10 years (and I've been going there for at least that long).
I typically order the chirashi for 10 dollars after tax for some quick sushi fix. Sometimes I order the ichiban sushi for 13 dollars. Excellent value for the amount of pieces you get, but the variety can be lacking sometimes (like 5 out of 10 pieces may be salmon). Some people are okay with that, and I'm certainly okay with that if I'm just going for some quick sushi fix.
If I recall, the order only includes soup if you dine-in.
They typically give out free hand rolls as you are waiting for your take out.
Once in a while, when the mood strikes (and if they have stock), I order the sea urchin sushi or sashimi. Typically, they have fresh, tasty sea urchin sashimi, which you may not expect from a small restaurant like this. Some people expect bigger restaurants to have better sea urchins because they order more often because they high turnover of products. I believe it's not necessarily true. I've had some bad tasting sea urchin from seemingly good restaurants. Ideally, inspect the sea urchin to see the color before you order it, which you can do when you're ordering, as you have full view of their sushi bar items.
Anyway, sea urchin sushi ($5.50 for 2 pieces) and sashimi ($5.00 for a glob, for lack of a better term) here is excellent value.
I've also ordered big party trays for catering. Again, excellent value for the amount of pieces you get, but typically it lacks variety (usually lots of salmon, california rolls).
If I were to compare this to some of the other places in the area..
Akasaka is much pricier and somewhat better (some people might disagree).
Miyabi is also much pricier (expect 30-40 a person) and much better in quality.
Wasabi is all you can eat but the quality is poorer, and I would much prefer Kim's Ichiban over wasabi.
This place is cash only, I believe.
The restaurant doesn't have a lot of place for sit in, so don't bring big groups.
Bottom line: If you're looking for some quick, cheap sushi fix of good quality, this is your place. And I come back time and time again because they have good quality Uni much more often than other places.
