After reading mainly positive reviews, we decided to make a last-minute reservation for 4 people on a Saturday evening @5:30pm. It was a little busy (a good sign!) but certainly lots of open tables as well. Probably didnt need the reservation. I liked the ambience- spacious, well-lit and pleasant at our table by the window.
Service was good and the place is even kid-friendly. The server brought water and I liked how he brought a covered cup with straw for our kid. Bonus! He came to check on us a few times throughout the meal and was friendly. He even brought tiny spoons for tiny hands.
We ordered Assorted Tempura ($6.95) and a Medium 50-piece Mixed Sushi Platter ($49.95). The tempura batter was crunchy and light. The sushi was really fresh, though the platter was a little heavy on maki and light on sashimi. The rolls were a little loosely made; however, they tasted great. I thought it was a little strange that some items like the Tako and butter fish sashimi came with only 1 piece which means you have to fight for that piece! Also, I thought the Medium platter was a bit too big for 2 people, so next time I think we'll try the Chirashi and a couple of apps, or go for the Small platter. The meal came with complimentary miso soup.
We finished the meal with some green tea and mung bean ice cream (yum)! 3 scoops for $3.95.
I'm glad we tried this place. We'll go again!
