| - It's really not fair for me to rate sushi restaurants on the same 5-point scale... My 5* is reserved (see below) for the best of a category. And although this place rocks, it's not the absolute best. That being said, it's the absolute best for a reasonably priced restaurant that's in my city, that I can go to without saving and setting aside money just for the event. I'm giving it a 4.5* that I cannot round to 5 just because I'm sticking to a consistent rating system. But by every-day standard, this place is a solid 5*!
The bf brought me here for my birthday dinner, and we had the omakase (6-course meal). We both really enjoyed the meal, and left sufficiently satiated. The problem with omakase at sushi places is that you often finish the courses and still feel hungry. But here, we had a cute little appetizer dish, followed by a wonderful grilled black cod with miso paste (I'm assuming it's inspired by Nobu's black cod with miso -- different, not as good, but still delicious). The next 2 courses were a sashimi platter, followed by a nigri platter -- both serving quality fresh cuts of fish, presented beautifully, and yummilicious! And the last 2 courses were miso soup and a dessert. Their green tea ice cream is made in house using match green tea -- which I love!! But if you're used to the store-bought super sweet green tea, you'll find this to be much less sweet and a stronger green tea flavor.
If you call ahead quite a bit in advance, you can reserve a table. We did, just because the bf hates waiting for restaurants. But they have very few tables, most of the seating is at the bar -- and that's walk-in seating. If you come during peak hours, you'll likely have to wait 60-90 mins for a seat without reservations. If you're planning on walking in, try going before 7pm or after 10pm to avoid the long wait. But regardless of how you go, just go... it's delicious!

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I'll come along. I'll find something to eat. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going.
