The only place I've ever had better sushi was at the fish market in Tokyo. Admittedly, I'm not a profesional sushi critic, just an armchair fan, but that's my experience as a ""civilian"". Fish so fresh it melts in your mouth, warmed rice that (to me) enhances the flavor, and fresh (not fake?) wasabi. Omakase is good, but if you're in a party smaller than 4, go with a-la-carte and order your favorites. (sometimes I've gotten some items on the omakase that I wasn't thrilled with). Absolutely recommend: salmon sushi, albacore sashimi, chilled toro, and butterfish. Heaven, heaven, heaven....!
Pros: certain items on their menu make my eyes roll back into my head because they are so delicious
Cons: I'm not a trust-fund baby, so I can only eat here every once in a while :(
