"3"^^ . "2"^^ . . "2"^^ . "Satori is defined as individual enlightenment. I personally did not experience any flashes of awakening, not with the ambiance or the sushi. The motto here is \"sushi.sake.simple.\" I will say that this sushi restaurant does not try to compete with others in the valley by baptizing it's rolls with flashy names, or even creating fresh and contemporary spins on the traditional rolls. The staff is friendly and attentive, but nothing that defines the character of the place. The rolls we sampled here delivered what the motto promises. Simple. Too dry for my tastes, but nothing a dip in the soy and wasabi couldn't cure. The hamachi collar, as well as the tuna carpaccio were great, but sadly there is nothing about this Japanese eatery that would make me return.\n\nHighlights: every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday is double up day. Get 2 for 1 sushi and rolls, as well as their saketinis. Thursdays come in and enjoy happy hour drink prices all night.\n\nDowners: happy hour is only four days a week, and only five of the most basic rolls are reduced at $3 per roll. Beer, house wine, and sake are also $5. Only four of their appetizers are on special.\n\nOverall quality of the food leaves some to be desired. Despite the yellowtail collar tasting great, it was still undercooked and raw in places. Tuna carpaccio, although delicious, was $14 for about 6 thinly sliced pieces of tuna with avocado.\n\nRolls were dry, ingredients were dwarved by the rice. The yellowtail and scallion roll we ordered barely had any scallions, tuna was also minimal.\n\nMy dinner partner tonight echoed my sentiments, and felt like the $50 wasn't worth what we ordered, despite enjoying two for one rolls and nigiri."^^ . . .
