Sushi Sai Japanese Restaurant

The uni and live sweet shrimp is great. Try it out. Pros: very fresh sashimi, nice staff and chef. Cons: Very short staff, expect to wait a little. more

This place is a neighborhood gem. It's a tiny room usually filled during the weekends and not as packed during the week. I can only eat sea urchin and sweet shrimp from here. In fact, prior to this, I hated ebi and uni, that's how different fresh sashimi tastes versus frozen. The other usual sushi is good too. For some reason something as simple as the cucumber roll tastes so much better here than other places. My favorites are the halibut in vinegar and the kobe beef sashimi, which is not always available, very pricey but worth it. The owner is the head sushi chef. Service can get slow on weekends because it's so busy but it's worth the wait, just sip your sake and anticipate the melt-in-your-mouth sushi. Pros: The freshest sushi and sashimi, and friendly service Cons: Long wait during peak hours more

I've been to this restaurant several times, mostly during lunch. The restaurant is quite small, can accomodate max of 30-40 people only. This is a good place to go for lunches. They have great menu for lunch special, the combo they have are similar to any other Japanese restaurant (Teriyaki and tempura/california roll). The price is reasonable, considering its a restaurant. But in comparison to a fast food joints in maybe a bit pricey ($8-$12/combo plate). Customer service is good, except that they're always short staffed. The restaurant gives you a Japanese feel, however it is not elegant. If you're trying to impress someone or going on a date this place wouldn't be the best place. It gives more of a family restaurant feeling, than romantic. Parking are available in the front entrance and at the back. Pros: Lunch specials at reasonable prices Cons: Often short staffed more
