| - Shuseki is a formidable alternative to Ichiza, if you dislike large obnoxious crowds. I eat here about twice a week, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon. They have a small crew of sweet, polite, fluent Japanese-speaking waitstaff, composed mostly of females.
When we go there, they seat us promptly, and if you go often enough (like we do) they remember your preferences. For example, we always order green tea and water, and my boyfriend dislikes ginger and miso soup. They always remember this, after about the third time they didn't ask anymore.
I appreciate the ambiance, it's low-key and somewhat earthy. I like that the girls who work there shuffle their own iPods on the stereo. It is changing all the time, and mostly Japanese, but I like that.
Sharing dishes is encouraged, and the entrees are pretty big. Sushi is exceptionally fresh for being in the desert. I love the mochi ice cream and the bathrooms are always clean.
