| - This place is nice. Really, really nice. I came here for lunch and ordered up a bunch of sushi, and the service was great. Every single person who was employed here took a minute to at least say hi to me, and the environment was really warm (maybe just because it was slow, but it was impressive nonetheless). I never wanted for anything- the sushi chef was extremely attentive and personable, and my server made sure that my tea was hot, my water was topped-off, and a smile was on my face.
The sushi was fine. Full disclosure- I had JUST brushed my teeth before coming, so I had a little bit of a minty mouth when I sat down to eat and I'm sure that affected the taste a bit. The unagi was perfect- oh-so-slightly crispy at the edges, succulent and warm in the middle with a very nice, unobtrusive sauce. The shiromaguro also had a really nice sauce to it, which I'm not used to on white tuna- but it was really nice. The ikura seemed a little bland, without the pleasing brininess and juicy pop that I usually enjoy. I will say that I was a little disappointed in the snow-crab used in the California rolls- usually when you see specific crab labelled it comes out as a solid stick of scrumptious leg-meat, but this was shredded and possibly from the claw, without much flavor. The rice was fine, but could have been a little more vinegared... but like I said, my tastebuds were a little off-center, so I'll have to come here again before I can really evaluate it.
All that being said, the exceptional friendliness of the staff was more than enough reason to give this place a solid four star. Maybe I just caught them on a good day, but service like that needs to be recognized! Thanks folks!
