| - This was my go-to for sushi place before I found Hinote. Compared to them, Tei's sushi rolls are too small for my liking (which I guess is the typical sushi size everywhere. Hinote's rolls are above average)
The restaurant has nice decor, fun small japanese huts for more private dining, and seats a lot of diners. The waitresses, cooks, and hosts are also very friendly. Most, if not all, immediately greet you as you enter the restaurant. You feel at home and very welcomed. My bf and I joke around and often call it "Bob's Place", making it seem like we know the owner himself. We actually met him one time as he was walking around table to table asking people if they enjoyed their meal. Nice man. His name isn't Bob.
Prices are a bit more expensive than compared to other sushi joints, but the quality and service makes up for this. Regardless of what you order, they always have on-the-house apps, usually 6 of them, that are offered while you look over the menu, alongside with tea. These include edamame, fish cake, bean sprouts, spicy bean sprouts, some fish dish, kimchi, etc. It sometimes changes. Also, last time I went, although it didn't come at first, my dad mentioned how he loved this fried fish he had before. The waitress immediately whipped us up an order- also on the house. The fish was huge! Definitely entree portion. I live for the fish cakes, bean sprouts, and edamame.Even more so that it's free. The fact that other jap restos typically charge you per app, I find it this a nice treat. Another reason why people often come back.
LOVE the sashimi. I always endulge and get 8 piece to myself. I believe its about $11+ for that. A little pricey, but the cut and grade of the salmon is worth it. I'll sometimes get 3-piece if I get a large entre. Whenever I get the actual dish, it always comes with 4 pieces though. YAY! haha. I joke around about this too, saying that it's because I'm pretty that the waitress decides to give me more. One time, however, I made the slip of saying "4 piece sashimi" instead of 3. Sad to say, that time, they gave me 3 pieces. followed by a, "I guess you're not pretty today" from my bf. LOL. This rarely happens though. The occasional time it does, my boyfriend makes sure to let me know how unattractive I am that day. haha. anyways...
Their Korean food is AWESOME! Great selection. Super Delish. Kalbi, Bulgogi, Spicy Bulgogi, Fried Yaki Udon are my favs. Love, love, love their yaki udon. Such good sauce, huge portion, and I loveee all the seafood in it. Have seen pork bone soup, udon soup, etc. Haven't eaten them myself, but people rave of them.
If you want delicious Jap and Korean food, I highly recommend this resto.
*Cheers*
