This location was home to Brendan O'Neills for many years. And looking back I'd have to say I'm glad it was replaced. In comparison, Asuka is a great sushi spot to have in the area.
Not the best sushi you'll ever have, but still great nevertheless. The kind of place you go back to because it delivers, and that's what's most important.
The prices are reasonable and the portions are your standard sushi size. I haven't had the hibachi here, but I imagine it's a little more filling.
The wait staff is always congenial and ready to grab something or refill water or tea. The sushi selection is wide, although I've seen wider. They have sweet potato tempura sushi which is always a plus!
The sushi bar is big and there's a flat screen above it, so if you're not watching the sushi chefs you can keep tabs on a local sports game or the news. There's a private hibachi grill in the back for larger parties. Overall, the decor is good, with a very spacious feel and Japanese decor.
Westlake hadn't had a sushi place until this one showed up, so for Westsiders it's a great find.
