| - The stark white minimalist decor is misleading... as you walk in the restaurant it feels empty, sterile, and "cheap". Don't let this dissuade you... wait for the restaurant to fill with people, voices, and beautiful sushi.
As this restaurant is BYOB, we brought a bottle of red, and the waitress quickly supplied a corkscrew and glasses. She made great recommendations including a special roll of the day. Her service was warm, efficient, and friendly.
We started with the squid app (3.95) - a bowl of seasoned calamari that was not quite to our taste. Onto the main event... the special roll of the day 3 way reverse cowgirl (15.95) was incredible. It was balanced, filling, interesting, and really delicious. We also really loved the ebi ten (5.50). The sweet potato roll (4.10), rainbow roll (12.50), and 86 roll (10.25) were all fairly standard - but good none the less. The boy also enjoyed eel nigiri (2.25). The fish was fresh and beautiful. The colors were bright, the taste was clean, and the slices of the fish (especially the eel) were thick full slices (we thought it was a great value).
On a whim, we shared mochi for dessert... both the chocolate and green tea were delightful. The dough was thinner than mochi I've had before - which made it less gummy and really allowed the flavors of the ice cream to come through. At 2.25 per mochi we thought they were well worth it - truly a great treat.
