| - ambience: 9/10
- great decor, each little table was sectioned off away from the others and v private
- quiet, not too busy
- overall a great place to eat on your own or on a date or with a small group
food: 9/10
- got the maki b set and the sashimi b set. both were quite good, especially the maki set which had some really excellent spicy salmon, but almost all the sashimi came out still with the tinges of having been frozen
- no complaints about the salad, which had a dressing that was less sweet than most japanese places make it
price: 7/10
- for the amount of food my sister and i got and the prices we paid, we could have just as easily gone to fushimi or another $$~$$$ range ayce place and probably been offered a little more in terms of variety. basically, this place isn't really the place to go to if you're looking for great, authentic sushi at a bargain price.
service: 6/10
- the servers were nice enough in the beginning, and i typically don't care if the servers are authentically japanese or whatever, but at one point there was just a lot of korean being hollered from downstairs to upstairs and it knocked a point off the ambience, which had been awesome till then
- they cleared away my plate literally after i put the last piece of sushi in my mouth. my mouth was full and they were whisking all my things away, which i found hella rude. attentive service is nice, and i appreciated that they came regularly to refill water, but i didn't need to feel like i was being watched
- overall i'd say we got rushed out of there faster than anywhere else i've been in a very long time. it was clear the staff was ready to go home, having just had dinner themselves at the tables at the side, but for somewhere that closes at 10:30pm they were bent on getting us out of there way before 9:45pm.
the food was great, and the decor was great, and if i had a date somewhere in the area i might go back. i wouldn't go out of my way to head out to parliament again just to visit this place, though, and i probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they found themselves in the area and didn't mind paying ~$30/person for good (not great) food.
