I came here after reading a few reviews and also since I am currently living about two blocks away. When I walked in, I was surprised to see a very small crowd seated at the tables (which is a good sign in a way). The main crowd was seated at the sushi bar. So, I sat down at the far left seat where a "local" immediately asked me: "Hey man, do you come here a lot?" Of course I answered "no" and told him this was my first time. A grin immediately overcame his face and he proceeded with "suggesting" to me what to order. Typically I don't like it when folks insist on eating what THEY eat. However, this guy seemed so enthusiastic for me to try FLOUNDER and a SCALLOP that I could not say no. As I waited for my food to come - the local INSISTED I try some of his freshly ordered makeral - which he insisted I try to eat some of the "bones" from his dish. Of course I didn't want to insult him - so I ate the bones and smiled as I chewed. Actually, it was not that bad. The servers were nice and the chefs were fast and accomodating to my requests of spiciness as far as the tuna HANDROLL was concerned. I will probably come back to this place. It was made clear to me that every single person sitting at the bar was a patron of not less than 5 years. That IS a good sign of a good sushi place!!
