Came here solo in the evening for dinner. There was a bit of a wait but I was seated at the bar immediately due to being solo. Did a sushi combo and some other add ons. Everything was sooo good I kept ordering more nigiri. The special was a nigiri sampler of imported Japanese fish, which was incredibly good. Some of the best nigiri I’ve had anywhere in the country.

Great presentation, efficient service (if you can get a seat) and, in my opinion, a really good overall experience. Sit with Eo, if you can. Yoshi is first class, as is Chigusa, and Steve is a refreshingly nice guy who prepares...
Read moreWhat a pleasant surprise. You have to know what to order they have specialty rolls and flavored sashimi. What a disappointment.
Update. Can't say the food was no good but haven't been here in 5 years I got there 10 minutes before they open, there was a line. They are not policing their line although somebody from the restaurant was standing outside observing the crowd. Because four people added themselves to their friends who were waiting in line I got stuck waiting for about 20 minutes because of those four people who were not waiting in line. After 20 minutes I...
