I went in on a Tuesday night, 6pm, and it wasn't crowded at all. The atmosphere is nice but doesn't have an authentic japanese feel. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered the chef's special (there are two versions -- the japanese and american ones). I am not a huge sushi connoisseur but I liked the quality of the fish, taste, and the warm rice was a nice addition. However, in terms of tastiness, I wasn't a huge fan of the Japanese chef's special as the raw squid, shrimp, salmon eggs, and sea urchin, are definitely acquired tastes. Overall the chef was friendly and so were the serving staff. \r

The major complaint I have is that I was slightly surprised by the bill. I only ordered one japanese and one american chef's special (water, no dessert, no appetizers, etc) and the bill came up to almost $190 after tax/tip! I only ate what the chef's gave me and I didn't order any ""extras"" at the end of the course. This was slightly surprising given that my friends and citysearch say that it'll be around $50/person. Anyway, besides that, the food was good but I'm not sure I'll come back b/c of the value.
Pros: fresh fish, exotic, large selection, good seating (on weekdays)
Cons: price, parking
