I've eaten around at a lot of other sushi restaurants... and a lot of japanese restaurants and can honestly say, this is the best place around. The staff can get a little rushed... and the food can get to your table a little on the slow side on a busy night... but, when you look around the room, you can understand why. I've sat and talked to the sushi chefs, and they make all of the sushi by hand. The sushi rolls are made with the best nori I have ever had. They use real crab which is hard to find. Fresh fish arrive almost daily and it shows in the quality of the fish. The best dishes they offer from the kitchen are Butasyoga (stir fried ginger pork), and the very simple ZaruSoba (cold buckwheat noodles with a cold dipping sauce). For those who love Sake`, this place is the best place for the best selection. There isn't a bad sake` on the menu! I wouldn't recommend the Sake` Sampler... $12 for three 2oz glasses is a little too steep for my tastes. But, when the small sizes for almost every sake` they have cost between $6 and $12 you can afford to try many different kinds. Keep the kids at home as the small restaurant only amplifies screams. The staff are all knowledgeable about sake` and the food, and if your server doesn't know the answer, one of the other employees will. I've eaten there many many times and I haven't found a single qualm about the place. I find that if you ALWAYS ALWAYS make a reservation, there will never be a problem getting in. I've seen this place busy on every different day of the week-- a testament as to the authenticity and success of this restaurant. I recommend it to everyone I see.
Pros: Authentic Japanese feel, Amazing Sushi, Great people!
Cons: Friday and Saturday nights between 6:30-8:00-- make a reservation lol.
