4.5/5
The menu is a conglomerate of authentic sushi and Izakaya or tapas-style dishes. The authenticity cannot be overstated. This is the first sushi place I've been where both the restaurateur and clientele is Japanese. Most importantly the food tastes good and is of great quality.
I have to say that I didn't expect much from such a tiny, informal and reasonably priced place but it impressed me quite a bit. I took the recommendation of Yelpers and tried the Volcano roll. I wasn't disappointed. The waitress torched the salmon at the table. It was quite the spectacle! The negihama, yellow-tail with green onions, had a distinct taste to it. My friend had the supreme assorted sushi, which was top-notch in terms of presentation. The spicy shrimp tempura was hot and crispy without being greasy. I also had a couple of rounds of Shochu on the rocks, which I've become fond of lately. The one they carried here had a very crisp bite to it. I would recommend the grapefruit cocktail to anyone. It comes out with hand juicer and half a grapefruit.
I would definately return here. I hope they continue doing what they're doing.
