| - Insist on Eugene at the Sushi bar. Accept no substitute. Wait, gamble (with your money), or come back another time. Trust me. Otherwise it'll be dicey, as in you'll take your chances (with your cuisine).
Hats-off to my young but talented sushi chef, EUGENE. Giving my third AND FOURTH star for his expert technique and skill, uniquely and traditionally elevated/formal Japanese (and I mean, DAMN traditional) style. You are an asset to this place, sir! Domo Arigato Gozaimashte Eugenesan!
--small, traditional japanese-sized nigiri, not American all-you-can-eat-two-bites-per-piece
--excellently crafted seaweed wraps. (is he bringing in his own? because... see below)
--veggies for salmon skin roll _cut_to_order_. Now _that's_ fresh.
--tamago rice served inside the egg, not under it. Crafty!
--blood-red maguro, my absolute favorite.
--natto roll. you bet they have it. cut roll had no juicy strings. (that means he stirred it exactly the correct number of times)
My usual but quick scan of the display showed that Tuna was the fish to order today. I was not disappointed.
Normally given the choice, I'll choose the seat in front of the senior chef. Today, the gods were with me and my instinct to choose his junior chef was well rewarded.
I say _INSIST on Eugene_ because from what experienced the next day from the senior chef, I wouldn't even be writing this review. He's just lost his passion. ...
# rice falls apart with every nigiri as i pick it up. i mean even before it even makes it to my soy sauce -- and i'm no noob (newbie)

Note: you cannot hand back a dish of nigiri to the senior chef in front of him and his junior chefs. If you do, you must immediately leave the restaurant. Instead you just have to stumble through every piece, hoping that they're noticing that every piece is crumbling. You got it, I stumbled through every last $7 piece. (hana oh hana, i can't wait to get home) And you got it again, no one took notice, and no one apologized, nothing.
What an humiliating spectacle!

# all-you-can-eat-two-bites-per-piece is appreciated at $12-14 for two pieces, but I want the masterful technique from yesterday.
it ends up being sashimi with a pick-up-pile of rice now busted and all over my plate (see above)
# rolls thrown together, not even packed. no care. what a disappointment.
# seaweed has been exposed to humidity and air and is not the crispy "fresh" and dry i expect when sitting at the bar. EPIC fail.
