First time at a really nice sushi restaurant. Wasn't really sure what to do. Chris The Bartender (careful, there is also a "Chris The Manager" who was a little frightening to me) was EXCELLENT. I didn't feel like an idiot and he described everything PERFECTLY. Once we sat, the waitress was not helpful at all and got moo-moo bossy cow SEVERAL times. Plates also went to the wrong person A TON! I know they probably like having those different people that bring out each dish and then describe the FUCK out of it, but it was silly to me and it definitely caused a lot of confusion and very long wait times for certain items.
THE FOOD. Oh, my. The pictures will speak for themselves. I tried a bit of everything. Need to go back for MORE!
Social Hour is awesome. $3-$6 appetizers and drink ($3 sake!!). Perfect for sushi virgins with smallish pockets!
HOT waiter dude. Good eye candy, ladies. Gentlemen - your eyes wont be disappointed either.
At the bar. Sake, brussels sprouts (crispy brussels sprouts, lemon chili) $3, takara nigori (unfiltered sake) $3, Eaten nasu nigiri (2 pc.) (grilled japanese eggplant, sumiso, goma shio ) $3, Complementary Thai Chili Peanuts (?)
gyutan nigiri (2 pc.) grilled beef tongue, yuzu kosho $3
kakiage (sweet potato-onion fritter) $3
I unfortunately did not catch the names of the two desserts I tried, and I can't quite place them on the menu. All you need to know is that both were AWESOME. The one above was very sweet. If you love chocolate, get ready to die and go to Heaven (I went to Town Lake, in a kayak, sharing a plate of this with my kayking partner, the Hot Waiter. Mmm...).
This one was very, very summery. If you likes fruit and yogurt and other frou frou stuff, enjoy!5pm-10pm
