Decided to try this place for lunch today with a friend, was not disappointed.
We arrived a little before noon on a Wednesday and the tables hadn't filled up yet so we were seated immediately. This place is VERY small though so in the future I will definitely know to either come early or make a reservation (especially for dinner).
Service was quick and friendly. We were promptly served hot tea as well as our miso soup and salad as soon as we sat down.
Both my friend and I were craving sashimi so we both ordered the sashimi lunch ($15 each) which was delicious. Each came with 14 pcs of assorted fish, all very tasty and fresh. My friend and I were both impressed that even uni (sea urchin) was part of the assortment - something you don't see too often in other Japanese restaurants. Every piece of fish was very flavorful, and though I will always love my salmon sashimi, the salmon was actually overshadowed by how outstanding the other pieces of fish were.
Glad to have found a spot downtown with fresh and delicious sashimi!
