| - I live in this area, and have always seen this little joint by the Target and wondered about it. When a girlfriend at work wanted to go for Happy Hour I decided to pick this place- one for its proximity and two, for the fact that their Happy Hour goes until 7 pm. For a workaholic like me, who doesn't ever know if I have to stay late- that's totally a WIN.
So me and my friend roll into here at the tail end of happy hour and it's pretty busy. Clearly the locals are in the know about the happy hour deals at this place. We wait a little while- not too long, and get seated in our own little booth. There are two sets of menus- the happy hour one, and the regular one. We order off of both and wait for our food to arrive.
First off- cocktails. She got the sangria, I got the Tokyo Tea. Both are great- the Tea is DEFINITELY pretty strong, so be warned. It's apparently their version of Long Islands, with Midori added. Good to know. I lucked out with it being good- the cocktails had no description and so I picked blindly, hoping it would taste decent.
The sushi came out very promptly, and was decent for sushi. Nice portion sizes, fairly fresh. I unfortunately can't remember what exactly we ordered, though.
Interestingly enough, we note after we finish our first plate of sushi that we're missing some. We flag down what I'm pretty sure is the Lady Boss, and she apologizes profusely- and brings back out for us the Happy Hour menu. Even though it's actually AFTER happy hour at this point. I was quite impressed, to be honest. But we tell her no, we had orders on the regular menu, and she brings that out instead, we mark down what we got and reorder again. This had a bit more raw fish- I believe we got the Cherry Blossom roll, and the... white something? My memory fails me, but it had white tuna, and mayo, and was awesome. I also got my standard Ikura nigiri, and that too was okay. It can be too fishy if not fresh, but this was good.
For all the sushi we ate, and the drinks we drank (we got an appetizer AND miso soup as well) it only came up to about $30 a person. Pretty gosh danged decent, given that us two ate enough for 4 people. So definitely worth a stop in, and for me- repeat visits, if only because it's so close to home.
