| - 5 stars:
Second time here, this time with reservations on a Friday night. Finding parking is a challenge at 7pm but got seated promptly when we arrived.
Annie was our server and she was great, attentive for a packed house on Friday night, food came at reasonable time and tea thermos stayed topped off, the tablet ordering system is very efficient and even marks the time the order was sent to the kitchen.
After having the torched sushi I could not go back to eating the regular sushi rolls! The spicy white tuna roll tasted dry somehow and we couldn't finish some pieces. The fish was very tender and sauce was very flavorful, it felt delicate to eat. The torched beef had a unique flavor from the flame, almost like a kiss of BBQ, our table kept ordering more. The pressed sushi had a nice unique sauce but it's just pressed into a solid brick of sushi. The house even sent a complimentary dish, deep fried oyster, scallop sashimi, in tapioca with a ponzu sauce.
Somehow found room to down the desserts, the mango slush is tasty with real fruit, creamy green tea brûlée which I wish could eat a few more, but now I'm waddling around super full but extremely happy I tried his place. Would visit again, it seems they fixed the service issue from previous reviews.
4 stars: The early bird Yelp dinner
- MUST make a reservation can't show up, if they tell you that over the phone that person is wrong! Cuz it happened to us
- portions of rice bigger than normal dinner experience
- menu was smaller only 3 torched items, standard sashimi but quality was off
- only 6 tables that night but some plates didn't arrive, we got the last call for early bird at 5:30pm and got the bill then here arrived the seaweed shrimp skewer(delish but we're stuffed and leaving)
- waitresses were all friendly and even let my toddler take an ice cream to go
