| - I dropped in here with hubby for lunch at 11:30am--we were greeted promptly and were seated at a table by the window.
Although we glanced briefly at the sandwich board that listed the daily specials, the lunch combos on the menu were a good deal ($14-$16) for sushi/sashimi/izakaya with rice, miso soup and salad. As more customers came in (this place fills up quickly), we noticed that they were all ordering the lunch combos(served from 11:30am to 2:00pm).
Our server was pleasant, attentive, and very informative (I added "izumitai (=white fish)" to my vocabulary today).
Hubby ordered the Lunch Combo #1 and I ordered the Sushi Lunch.
Our miso soups were served piping hot. Mmmmm....comfort food for me!
The salads were dressed in light vinaigrette and not doused with Thousand Island/Ranch dressing like most sushi restaurants.
My sushi was very generously portioned and the freshest I've tasted. Both tuna and salmon melted in my mouth and was served at the perfect temperature. The sushi chef uses fresh ingredients, right down to the shiso leaf (they don't use plastic green leaves here) and the California roll (crab, avocado,fish stick) was carefully made. The pickled ginger was pleasant to eat (not overly strong or pungent) and the presentation was impeccable.
We will be back to try some of the selections that are rarely offered elsewhere (e.g. sea bream, blue fin tuna, grilled whole squid, Japanese whiting).
