| - Exceptional sushi, drinks, & service from Christa last night. My fiance & I came in about an hour before closing after walking around Fashion Show for a while. The interior is beautiful and dreamy, with stainless steel tables, dark colors, blue ambient lighting, and a large aquarium that is thankfully not overcrowded with fish so it didn't look tacky. We were greeted, seated, then met by Christa within 5 minutes. She was the right amount of friendly & efficient. She made great recommendations. We were only looking for something light and a drink or two, so I got the tuna tower (wonton crisps on the side) along with a cocktail (forgot the name, unfortunately) & he went with a basic california roll and some Stella.
Our drinks came out quickly and were beautifully presented with waters on the side. Our food took some time but also came out right when we started getting ravenous. I had expected my tuna tower to resemble a messy pile on the plate which I could dig into, but it was much more tower-like than that. It was an underwhelming small dense cylinder of sushi rice, mixed crab meat, avocados, and raw tuna topped with micro greens and roe. It really did look small, but I found that when I took it apart it was well-worth the $16 cost. Because it was so incredibly dense, it filled me up and the wonton crisps were a spot-on recommendation by Christa. I crave it again as I write this. Even the california roll was good. Would definitely get both if I return. We got two more Stellas.
Overall, great experience, a bit pricey but that is to be expected, so we left a good tip. Will definitely come back soon.
