| - Exterior is unassuming, and you walk in to an immediate brick wall before entering the sushi bar. Very awkward. Japanese kitchen area is separate, did not go into it during my visit. Lunch menu til 4PM allowed me to score half-portion (and half-price) rolls for me and my guy, along with a salad and an app for around $40. Score!
Tuna poke salad ($8) was tasty, shrimp shumai ($5) was okay but didn't hit that craving-dim-sum spot that I hoped it would.
Sushi was surprisingly good- fish was fresh, flavors were on point. BF and I were torn between picking favorites among the rolls: his was the WHITE TIGER (shrimp, takuan, avocado, cucumber, topped with lightly seared super white tuna, soy sauce, bansai sauce) while mine was the KAI'S SPECIL (eel, spicy tuna, avocado, cream cheese, eel sauce). The Cali roll was as expected, and the OH KAMISAMA was good too (shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, topped with seared salmon, tataki, banzai sauce).
Service was attentive up until our bill came- then our guy disappeared for a solid ten minutes for no apparent reason. We were the only patrons present in that part of the restaurant.
