Talk about a small place that is hot hot hot.
Even on a rainy weekday there was a line in the street waiting for diner seating. The establishment has roughly 14 tables for 2 that are set up against the wall with a bench on one side and chairs on the other. These are dragged together or apart depending on the size of parties that need seating.
We waited for about 20 minutes and decided to try a boat for three. Preparation took 20-30 minutes and a nice boat loaded with sushi and sashimi arrived. The fish were selected by the Chef and included Tuna, Salmon, White Fish and Shrimp in rolls, nigiri and clean slices.
The portion was generous and 4 of us felt full and happy. However, a wider variety of fish would have done the dish a great service.
The crowd was mostly young and beautiful locals with a few exceptions. Music is pumped into the narrow establishment but it is hard to make out what it is; the place it LOUD so come ready to eat, not chat. There are no private spaces and seating is pretty much elbow to elbow so get to know your neighbors.
Conclusions:
Service is friendly if a bit slow
Fish are fresh and of high quality
Décor is non-existent and acoustics are terrible; some treatment will go a long way
Value, at $25 per person without drinks (includes tip) not half bad
My vote, go during the week with a small group; expect a wait for seating and food. However, it’s worth it, try it at least once.
