I read all the reviews previously here. To summarize, its basically an amazing restaurant for a raw bar. Everything else is so so. The service is quick, but totally impersonal, and watching the sushi bar, even the people sitting there were completly removed from the sushi chefs. For the quality of the fish, I have never had anything that matches this, but for a nice cozy sushi dinner, one that will still provides great food, at half the price, and with a personal touch to match, there are other places in Santa Monica that do that.
Pros: great fish
Cons: impersonal, loud, expensive
