I decided to check out this place based on a friend's recommendation. Now she recommended lunch and I went during dinner so that might affect my impression.
1. Very small place. It's a hole in the wall kind of joint with probably only 4 tables that are elbow to elbow. So, if you aren't fond of people listening in on your tableside convo this might not be the place for you.
2. Presentation of the Dishes Were Beautiful - I do admit I give them +1 for this since I find a lot of sushi restaurants lack the artistry that is so important to true Japanese sushi. Now this place isn't run by Japanese (I knew from the name alone) but they have maintained some aspects well.
3. Pricey. Perhaps this is because I went during dinner so they don't have any specials during these hours. But I do say for the freshness of the product served the price is reasonable. However, I found the portion sizes rather bleak (there was barely any rice - which is usually not an issue). Skip the edamame, so not worth the price for the amount given.
4. Selection of Sushi is Nice - Great to see a place not just offering dynamite rolls and spicy tuna. They have a good variety of fish and don't try to sell off tilapia as red snapper (ah my pet peeve !!). Something about the rice I wasn't crazy for... but that might just be my high standards.
So at this point I'm not completely sold on this place since I just don't see the price matching the food compared to other true Japanese run places I've been to.
