Sushi restaurant, Asian restaurant, Japanese restaurant, Restaurant
Everything about my experience here was 5 🌟 I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, the kind waiters and chefs, and the delicious food! It was some of the best sushi I’ve had! I ordered the salmon lover roll, the rainbow roll, the banzai roll, and the salmon (sake) nigiri! This was an ultimate combination and I highly recommend ordering all of these!
Absolutely delicious.Best sushi I’ve ever had in my life.The fish was so fresh and delicious we ate every bite.The appetizer was also very delish.It had a mushroom filling and came with sweet chili sauce.Definitely definitely would recommend and I will be coming back.
Bottom line, will I go back? Hell yeah! Atmosphere: cozy, warm, feels Japanese -ish, for example, the space is full but neat and well organized. Service: excellent! They were quite busy, being down multiple staff members.I still thought the service was great.They were even apologetic for the wait and business.Any reasonable person will appreciate their effort. Food/drink: They have a very wide menu, I would say, for a sushi restaurant.Don't worry if someone you are with does not want sushi, or does not eat fish. They also have a pretty large sake selection, including nama, if that interests you. Tea was good (overly watery tea always bothers me!) Sushi: wide selection, good value, whimsical, contemporary feel, I would say. You can get what feels like, everything from rolls that feel very fusion, American-y; to straightforward clean nigiri; to some interesting specials. My preference is for basic, clean nigiri that focuses on the seafood. Overall I thought the sushi was quite tasty, if at times it was a little heavy on sauces. For example, I got: Unagi (eel) nigiri, which was delicious (and great value at $2.50).It was very good, but I would have preferred a little less nitsume(?) sauce.Slightly fishy aftertaste from the skin, which I liked. Spider roll- tempura soft shell crab, cucumber, avocado, masago.Good option for someone who does not like fishy, seafoody taste.Mild, crunchy.Dominated by tempura. Mackarel nigiri: really, really tasty.Small slice of lemon, complements fish extremely well while remaining balanced.$2.50 again? Give me a bunch of these. Shinjuku salmon: a unique one, apparently popular in Shinjuku.Partially cooked salmon, big cut.Raw onion.Miso mayo.Very, very intense sushi! There are layers to the flavor, at first the miso mayo is very intense.Then you taste the raw onion.You wouldn't expect to taste the fish, but the first flavors quickly fade and you get the fish.It's a ride. Aged toro salmon- interesting, never had aged fish before.It felt more rich, less fishy to me, than usual salmon.I would say a good option for someone that wants the flavor of sushi and seafood, without the fishiness. Definitely getting again: Unagi nigiri, mackarel nigiri, aged sushi, green tea Thank you Marc!
