The fact that this place always has a line up (of at least 3 tables) speaks about popularity by itself.
The place is small, cozy, and if you don't know it, could be difficult to spot because the entrance is narrow.
One thing I don't understand about the management is why they make reservations if they always lack spots. Waiting 15 min. for a table (while 3 or 4 empty ones have the reserved sign) when you are hungry is like a culinary harakiri. Don't join the conga line if you are starving, you will give dirty looks to the people eating hoping to scare them away.
Once seated the service was really fast. I think that the quality of the seafood over passed the beef's one. The salmon sashimi was really fresh, buttery, and colorful; I recommend it 100%.
I also liked the spider, spicy tuna, and dragon rolls.
The beef tataki was dry and chewy, so do the short ribs, as well as the beef slices on the pad thai. On the other hand, I tried a bit of the chicken teriyaki and it was juicy, tender, and crispy.
The unagi, ebi, and salmon teriyaki were perfect.
I liked that they kept asking us if we wanted more items, and whatever we asked in spare of the main order came right away, they didn't "forget" like in other AYCE joints...
