Came here on a Friday night. Reservation for 7 people at 8pm. We arrived a half hour early with only 6 of us. No problem. We are seated at a great table and served hot green tea right away and not rushed while we wait for the last guest to arrive.
In a nutshell, the service and food are incredible. I think the King Alaskan salmon sashimi was the best I ever had.
What we ordered (note that one order of sushi is 2 pieces and 1 order of sashimi was 3 pieces). We started with hot dishes and then finished with the sashimi/sushi.
Drinks:
- bottle of ippongi denshin sake: $150
Starters (we ordered 3 each since there were 7 of us). Prices below are for one order:
- tuna tartare : $12 ...get this!
- clams with mushrooms. Nice broth. $7. Likely wouldn't order again compared to everything else.
- oyster shooter $7. Everyone loved this but it wasn't my thing. Texture is slimy in your mouth. But glad I tried it!
Hot dishes (ordered one each and split). Bit tough to split the seafood bowl as there are 2 scallops, 4 clams, few shrimps, one piece tempura, but we did it!)
- seafood bowl. Excellent. $19
- tempura soba (hot): $15
Sashimi/sushi (we ordered 6 pieces of sashimi and 2 pieces of sushi for each)
- King Alaskan salmon. My favourite of the night! $6 for one order of sashimi and $5 for one order of sushi.
- Butterfish. Note they seared this very slightly. Nice taste. $7 and $6 for sashimi/sushi
- Sea bream. $9 and $8 for sashimi/sushi
- We wanted horse mackerel but they didn't have so we got Sayori instead. Make sure you check my pic! It was so cool. After we finished they deep fried the heads! $42 for whole order.
- Uni sushi (6 pieces). I don't like Uni but I was told it was amazing. $9 for one order.
- Ika (squid). 2 pieces sushi only. $6 for one order
- Anago (eel) sushi 6 pieces). $10 for one order.
We were there 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Total cost was $518 plus tip. But keep in mind we did have a $150 bottle of sake and there were 7 of us.
Definitely go and enjoy this experience.
