| - I can't sleep on these folks! I stopped in here for lunch today... interesting story...
'Lunch' for me usually just means 'any meal I eat before 7pm'. Often my mid-day meals fall around 2-5pm, and that is a TOUGH time to get into restaurants. Most everything is closed between lunch and dinner. Not these good folks, though... is it wrong that I almost gave them five stars for that alone...??
So anyhow, I stopped by here at about 3:30pm, and my first impression was that it was a nice little spot. So I saddled up to the sushi bar and took a look at their offerings. Pretty typical fare, and pretty much what you'd expect from XYZ Sushi establishment. Nothing overly surprising, but a decent menu nonetheless. So I ordered a few bits of sashimi, a few cuts of nigiri-zushi, and of course my salmon skin rolls. Everything was really good! Looks like they have a decent selection of sake, and a LOT of home-made infused sake as well. The service was prompt and attentive, everyone was friendly, and the sushi was damned tasty. I was impressed that they serve ama-ebi, and even fry up the head for you. The ikura was equally tasty, and all of the sashimi that I ordered was generous, with a nice heap of daikon.
The salmon skin rolls were top-notch. I liked the little bit of spicy sauce that they put in there, it added a nice little zing.
All in all, this was a solid place. I like the fact that they're open pretty much all day, and they're close to the gym I work out at. I can't really 'rave' about their sushi, because they didn't have a lot of the stuff that I really jam out on (toro, uni, iwashi, etc). What I *CAN* say is that that won't stop me from coming back here after a workout for a quick lean-protein fix. :)
