I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant with some friends who are experts in sushi and Japanese foods. This was a definite plus as I am relatively new to this kind of food but am certainly a fan. We went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. It is a small restaurant with a private room, main dining room and a sushi bar at the back. We sat at the sushi which was a treat as we could see the expert chef prepare the sushi to order.
We started with some appetizers; Agedashi Nasu (fried eggplant in broth), Shrimp Shumai (mini shrimp dumplings) and Ika Rings (fried squid rings). All were delicious although the squid didn't make it to us until we were well into the sushi.
My friends ordered a variety of sushi dishes, which ones I am not sure but I know there was fried soft shell crabs in there, eel, tuna and other delights. All were delicious and tasted fresh.
The service was OK, they were very busy and we ended up having to ask for an extra set of chopsticks, some more water and other little things like that but overall, it wasn't bad enough to ruin the meal.
The staff were very friendly, particularly the sushi chef who spoke to us for a little while once we had finished.
I would recommend this place for people familiar with Japanese cuisine. The explanations on the menu were not sufficient for someone like me who has very little idea about sushi and what is in it.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
