The rice ball (occasionally vegetarian), is best when grilled. The heat toasts the rice kernels and results in a nice nutty flavor.

Sushi is mediocre. Best thing I had was the coconut custard dessert with the green tea sauce.

This place is so obnoxious and pretentious! They keep the music so loud and obnoxious with a DJ to make it seem hip and over the top. Don't waste your time here!

Skip the beef dishes that are too well-done and focus instead on the tender pork belly and the flavorful duck.

Miso fish overrated and pricey. Skip Brussels sprouts and yakisoba. Get beef tataki and eel sashimi.

The eel was the best I've ever had at a sushi place.

The wasabi ice cream tastes like cold wasabi. But after a few bites, you've had enough wasabi. Worth trying though.
Chuq YangJuly 29, 2010
The o'toro sashimi was great. It says 5 pieces but I got 6! Maybe everyone does...
