Sushi Rolls do not a true sushi bar make. Having eaten at restaurants like Nobu, Masa, Sushi Yasuda, Jewel Bako and other top sushi restaurants in the United States this is merely average fair. I don?t understand why this is rated as high as it is and why a foodie like Caroline Yeh raves about this place. \r
\r
The fish is fresh but average, the presentation and orginality is lacking. This merely an average sushi experinces. \r

I have also had the pleasure of eating at Kyubei 8-7-6 Ginza Chuo-ku Tokyo, Japan. And had the privilege of meeting the second generation Kyubei himself. \r
\r
Kyubei has been opened for 71 years and it just doesn?t get any better than this. In this temple of sushi only the freshets of fish on perfectly flavored rice some with a hint of wasabi, some with a hint of grated lime is offered up and eaten by true sushiphiles using their fingers to hold the tender succulent morsels up to their eager mouths. There are no bottles of soy on the bar and no wasabi is provided. The sushi is served as the chef see fit.\r
\r
Live shrimp, uni, abalone, tuna belly, yellow tail, all presented on handcrafted pottery. The best I ever had a set of 12 pieces chosen by the chef (omakase shimasu"", which means roughly, ""I trust you [the chef]."" was $80.00 USD with a glass of cold premium sake. \r
\r
Sorry Oishii????.\r
\r
I will actually be in Boston on business and I am looking at trying Ken Oringer UNI. Lets see if it holds up to my criteria for great sushi. \r
Pros: Qucik Services
Cons: Run of mill sushis for the price
