"Rather ordinary Japanese food, but if you're local, I guess it would be OK"

Strange crowd at the bar scene with hookers and all.Stick with the sushi because the cooked meats are tough as nails

"Traditional char-grilled Japanese treats; there's the usual sushi, done well, and some slightly unusual sushi, but the most interesting items are those straight off the grill. Good sake and liquor selection. Excellent happy hour offerings. Dark and sleek atmosphere."

"One of the most underrated sushi joints year in year out. I make sure to frequent this establishment at least once a month. Never had a complaint with the food or service, it's always top notch. The decor is better than you would think for a relatively inexpensive restaurant. Don't forget to check out the bar, it's got a solid drink selection and you definitely get your moneys worth!"
