| - It was OK, but I remember it being much better. Met a friend there for dinner and should have chosen a different place just for the noise level. The place is loud, so I'm officially old. The bar is right in the front and was packed at 7 on a Saturday, but they sat us right away at the sushi bar. The service was quick and the sushi chef was helpful, though it was hard to hear him (again, old).
My wife and I had the 'RA'llipop, RAckin Roll, Chili Ponzu Yellowtail, toro nigiri, salmon nigiri, king crab nigiri. My buddy ordered a watermelon and kiwi salad with shrimp and sushi that I lost track of. When we asked the sushi chef about salmon skin he told us it was 'kind of like bacon' and made some for us to try (no, not like bacon...).
The RAllipops and the Chili Ponzu were the standouts of the evening and the toro nigiri and king crab nigiri were a bit of a disappointment. The toro was a little fattier than I like (I know, some folks like that), and the king crab had a lot less flavor than I'd remembered it having and tasted a little like refrigerator.
I would have given four stars (the service was five) but for the value. I really expected knock out sushi. It was 'good sushi', at a 'great sushi' price point. (And too loud for this old man).
