| - Came here with some coworkers. My last visit was quite a while ago, and I noticed that the prices have gone up a little. I ordered the sashimi set.
- Miso soup - flavorful, as it should be. 9/10
- Ordered toro sashimi - 5.25 for 2 pieces. If you guys read my other reviews, you should know that I love toro. So this piece of toro is probably the lowest quality toro I've had at a good restaurant. It had no melt-in-your-mouth texture at all. Now of course, for 5.25 for 2 sashimi (compared to say, miyabi 3 pieces for 18, yasu 1 piece otoro sushi for $10), you get what you paid for, but I wouldn't mind paying more had they offered better quality toro. I'm almost certain it wasn't bluefin tuna. Just judging the quality, it receives a failing grade. 4/10.
-Sashimi set - good quality. Maguro wasn't all that great. No Uni. Scallop and sweet shrimp were good. Not sure if it justifies the price increase though. 7.5/10.
-Baileys cheese cake - my coworker and I didn't really taste any Bailey's. Not gonna give a rating since I'm not too into cheese cakes to begin with.
Onto what my coworkers had
- Chochin bento - I tried the fried chicken. Great chicken (just like when I ordered it before) but might have been stingy with the spicy mayo. We asked for more though. 9/10
- Coworkers liked the chicken don and the salmon roll.
The quality may have gone down a notch since the last visit. Also since the price increased, value seems to have gone down too. Good service, which is about the same, but the entire restaurant only had one other table.
I'd return again, but probably not for the sushi/sashimi items. I'd like to try the sukiyaki udon and stuff someday. For in terms of sushi, I'll probably stick to Aoyama, which is almost just down the street, for better sushi and better prices.
8/10 for quality, 8.5/10 for service, 7/10 for value. 8/10 overall (not an average).
