My family and I went to this restaurant based on what we read on this website. It was a bit hard to find, but was easy to get a seat at 5:30 on a Sunday. We were promptly greeted, and beverages were brought out just as promptly. We ordered a mixture of appitizers (edamame, gyozo, crab miso soup), 4 various rolls of their speciality sushi, and entree's of the Soy-Ginger Bass, and the Tempura Udon. Though the place wasn't very busy, and 2 people were making sushi at the bar, it took about 30min for the rolls to come out. The plus side was, the hot food arrived at the table at the same exact time. That is rare and impressive in a sushi restaurant. The service was good. It seems like every server had refilled our drinks atleast once, and no member of the party had an empty drink for longer than a minute or two. I would come back again for the Soy Ginger Bass alone. It was absolutely fenomenal. It had an amazing flavor, wasn't the least bit "fishy", and had a simple, but well done presentation. There Udon was good as well, but the Tempora was a bit oily. The sushi was very enjoyable, but the Bass was definately the highlight of the table. I would probrably recommend making a reservation, as there are less than 100 seats there, and they will probrably fill up quick if their food remains consistent with the experience we had this evening. Note: My 18 month old daughter was fasinated with the train track that went around the sushi bar that carried various plates on it, and wanted to touch the thing the entire evening. I'm a big kid, I wanted to play with it too.
Pros: Soy Ginger Bass (surprise!), and the train track
Cons: Temperature was a bit warm for my taste.
