Goddam I love this place. I came for a special night with my special lady (Wifey) and had my best experience yet. I usually sit in the restaurant but NO MORE. Its teh sushi bar for me. It was, hands down, the best sushi experience of my life.
So fresh. Such great recommends from the Oscar, the head sushi master.
Tips from Oscar - 1. If you order your sushi of sashimi "toro" they don't charge extra but it is extra good. It is the fatty belly of the fish instead of teh "sides". Fish fat is supposed to be good for you so eat up.
2. Order a Kirin and get an saki for a buck
3. Order a Kirin and get an appetizer for a buck
4. And this is why I usually don't sit at the sushi bar... I like to tip well but always feel that when I'm at the "bar" that the sushi guy deserves the bult of the tip but I still don't want to short the waitress. I gave the waitress $15 because my check came to $75 (we ate a drank a LOT) and I also gave Oscar $5, but really the situation should be reversed since Oscar took my order and did everything but bring the drinks. He thanked me for asking and advised that they SHARE the tips. PHEW! I feel so much better!
I'll be back asap.
