CONDENSED IN A SOUP CAN: Watching your wallet but want to pig out on sushi and sake? They have excellent service to go with their quality fish and offer a good variety on their AYCE menu - which will only cost you around $20 for lunch and $22 for dinner. Can't beat that!
THE MEAT: We went in for lunch on a Wednesday and were 1 of the only 2 tables there. Our server was so friendly and attentive and the food came out in good time and pace. The soft shell crab was light and served with a tasty ponzu sauce. "The shit" (crab and cooked salmon in nori, deep fried and served with yum yum sauce) didn't quite live up to its slang name (I wonder if they chose it for its aesthetic resemblance). The salmon kama was presented beautifully (as all of their food are)... it is a piece not quite on the collar itself but still very tender. The monkey brains will please any fusion fan, it surely teased my palette with familiar crab salad mixed with sweet banana tempura. I wanted to hate it so bad, but got quite the opposite effect.
And the sushi, my oh my. The fish to rice ratio is ridunculous! We loved the salmon, hamachi, super white tuna... and the lasagna roll is good if you like cream cheese. How they make profit for serving great quality with an extensive AYCE menu for so cheap in a low key neighborhood eludes me. I do hope they can keep up the exceptional value for your money! I would totally franchise this spot. Binge on good sushi with flip flops here or hide in one of the dark corners with an ugly mistress. GOGOGO! (P.S. I recommend not bringing the kids unless it was for lunch, or if they are capable of behaving like... college students out for sushi and sake.)
I'M STILL DIGESTING... The Japanese pop music videos filled with scantily clad grown high school students. Now there's a night's worth of conversation over sake.
