You have to try this place for an unforgettable sushi experience. There are rules. No reservations. When you get inside, it’s a hole in the wall, not a whole lot of decor. You know people come here to eat and that’s it. It’s just sushi, sashimi and hand rolls. No noodles, no rice dishes, no miso soup, no edamame. Just straight up sushi. If there is a wait, you line up. There is no special star treatment, and there are a lot of celebrities that come here. Each time we’ve come, we’ve eaten about $50 – $60 worth of sushi each person. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the sushi.

When you come in, you have choice to at the bar or at a table. If you sit at the bar, you only get to eat the “Omakase” or Trust Me special. Remember there are rules. You have to have at least 4 of the chef’s specials before you get to make your own requests, or when he asks you “Are you done?” or “Want some more?” If you eat at the table, you may order off the menu or eat Omakase. However, if you order off the menu, you may not order the uni or other special items. If you break any of these rules, you’ll feel like hiding under the table.

So now that we’ve gotten the structure of your visit out of the way, let’s get to the food. It’s amazing. Another unique thing about the sushi. It’s served over warm rice. Some people have a hard time with that, but for some reason the cold sushi and warm rice make a great combination; everything just melts in your mouth. He usually starts with the baby tuna sashimi followed by an albacore tuna. In the usual list is also the yummy fatty tuna roll and lobster roll. You have to eat it right away while the seaweed is crunchy. My personal favorite that you usually have to request is the uni. It’s really fresh uni, and I would know because my cheeks swell up like a chipmunk if it’s not. My husband and I fight over the ikura too. Most places serve ikura that is too salty, not fresh or preserved in sake or something. This is just fresh ikura.

Don’t let the rules intimidate you. I didn’t really know about them because I usually order Omakase and just eat way more than the minimum required. I only found out about the different rules because I took people with smaller appetites.

Best known for their deep fried egg rolls, you have to order them everytime. Good curry chicken too. Overall good decent Vietnamese food. Good prices. Quick service as with most Vietnamese restaurants. Child friendly.

Good clean Vietnamese restaurant for family with young kids and wanting a quick sitdown meal. Lemongrass chicken wings a must.
