"6"^^ . "5"^^ . "What a gem! I'm typically not a fan of fusion or Americanized sushi bars but this place is off da chain. I came here on a late night with my favorite person and the experience was fantastic. \n\nWalked in and immediately had a flashback to the time I was at Yonaka. No Japanese patron found and place was packed with haole. Usually that's not a good sign for me but I always give the benefit of the doubt. First thing I noticed was how smoky the place was. There seems to be no ventilation of any sort but surprisingly, no one seemed bothered by it. Atmosphere is dark and intimate, perfect for the dinner occasion I was at. \n\nStarted out with some oysters which are part of the special. They were fresh and plump. My favorite has to be their little skookum oysters which were really sweet and fresh. \n\nGrilled branzino with sweet potato. Holy moly. Grilled and seasoned perfectly. Fish was boneless and was grilled with lemons and bunch of different herbs. \n\nWaffle fries. The dipping sauce was bomb.com! It was a creamy aeoli sauce with some tangyness and was perfect with their crispy waffle fries.\n\n*From here, I was a little intoxicated and don't remember the exact name of each dish\n\nAlso tried their spicy salmon roll with lemon and caviar. At first, I thought slices of lemon they had in between each roll was just for a presentation but I ate it with the rolls and wow. Flavor parade. I guess it is good to be intoxicated while trying something new because you get to be adventurous. Lesson learned.\n\nSteamed mussels in a pot. It was a recommended dish but turned out to be ok. Mussels were small and nothing mind blowing. \n\nFantastic flavorful seafood dish heaven with impeccable service. I hope to be back soon."^^ . "5"^^ . "2016-04-12T00:00:00"^^ . . . . "4"^^ .
