After viewing the barrel-like booths of this place and knowing they serve sushi was enough to draw me to this amazing restaurant. The food alone is worth the visit, but the atmosphere is so laid back and welcoming it makes for quite the dining experience. Our waiter was very patient as we scoured the menu, pointing out favorites we might like and instructing us how to fill out the card for the courses we ordered. My oldest went for the curry chicken and loved it. I ordered the 10 course meal and what a feast it was! The standouts were the scallop carpaccio, the salmon bowl, and the soba salad. I ordered the blue diamond roll as part of the 10 courses and it was plentiful, fresh and delicious. The carpaccio was made from the sweetest scallops paired with thinly sliced lemon, masago and a mild ponzu sauce. It was heavenly. The salmon bowl contained thick salmon slices on top of rice. The salmon was not stringy or tough like one might expect of such a plentiful portion. The taste was fresh and sweet, and the next time I visit I may just go for the refillable salmon bowl. The soba salad has a creamy yet light dressing and noodles with the texture of fresh made pasta. The sushi chef was very friendly and it was quite evident he was very passionate about his sushi. The service couldn't have been better, our drinks never went empty. I would recommend reservations as the place is small and often packed, yet is so worth the wait. I will definitely be back soon.
