| - I may be a little biased because this is directly under my apartment and it is so super convenient to swing by and grab sushi from here.. But I really like this place. It's quick, the service is great and it has a trendy vibe with an outdoor bar. Squid Ink has become my neighborhood sushi spot. I usually sit outside when I dine in, otherwise I'm ordering take out, which by the way is usually ready in ten minutes or so! The front desk staff, Aida, is so sweet and remembers me as soon as I tell her my name over the phone! A few favorites include the dynamite roll, which has a special twist with a whole cooked piece of salmon on top; unlike your usual crab topping that is typically garnished on the roll.
Once a week or so I have an extreme craving for their miso soup, which I pick up and take upstairs to enjoy with a movie! Another favorite would be the Pot Stickers- served with scallions and a "tiger" dipping sauce which is a ginger-soy tangy and savory treat.
One thing I would definitely stay away from (and the main reason there are not five stars*) is the Toro. I was a little disappointed with the Toro- (usually known for the fatty, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth consistency) ironically, the first piece of Toro I consumed was extremely chewy... I had to swallow the whole piece after trying to chew that one single piece for a prolonged period of time..
A few things to consider:
-There is a parking garage that is connected to the building (Cityscape), but I always walk so I'm not sure if it's validated. Fairly priced parking.
-Quick bar service
