| - I've been here a few times and really like this place. In a sea of downtown bars full of TV sets and burgers, this is a nice island of relative tranquility. Now at wintertime, you can look outside the window and see the skaters in CitySkate. While there may be a TV at the bar, I don't see or hear it at any other table, and see nothing but their funky murals or other patrons enjoying a skillfully made meal.
I've generally just ordered sushi, which is presented without adornment on shiny white porcelain of different shapes. Everything tastes nice and fresh, the nori is nice and crispy, and they are inventive with different combinations of house rolls.
Just don't expect to be in and out of here fast. You generally can expect an hour's stay, even on a not-too-busy day. But that's ok, good sushi should be savored, with the eyes and the mouth.
I once got green tea ice cream for dessert, and the serving was very generous...enough for 3 people.
The service is always friendly and professional.
Expect to pay a bit of money. This is fresh fish in the desert, not a McDonald's hamburger. Set your expectations accordingly and you won't be disappointed.
