    Unagi . Served cold and chewy. Avoid
    Cal D.

    Unagi. Served cold and chewy. I've never had a cold eel unagi bowl. The woman told me it was "sushi" so it's served cold... I've been to Japan and never have I ever. I couldn't eat it. I'm concerned about food handling and freshness of it. Unfortunately , I wanted to love it but sadly can't recommend.

    The salmon and tuna combo I got for about $20 for BOTH nigiri and sashimi! Oishi!
    Bee F.

    Nice! I got the combo he suggested because it's a much better deal than ordering individual nigiri. The fish was fresh, draped nicely over the properly seasoned rice and really hit the spot! Why 4 stars only then? Oh, this makes me so sad. I loved this meal and wrote this as a 5-star review while eating. But, it had to sit in my unfinished reviews for over a month while I stewed over what the right thing to say would be. Why? Because I think I got Staph Aureus poisoning here. I am NOT giving a medical diagnosis, because I did not end up seeking care (allllllmost...). So, I'm more saying this is a concern, and if you see more reviews mentioning the typical symptoms, stomach pain and cramping, nausea, diarrhea with onset within about an hour or so, then I'd worry. If I'm the only one... meh... chalk it up to well... something else that made me really sick, IDK. Want to know more about the difference between salmonella and staph poisoning? OK, read on. Or, don't. Most food poisoning is salmonella, which is caused by poor hygiene, usually a failure to wash the hands after using the bathroom, and takes half a day or so to present symptoms caused by bacteria reproducing in the gut. Staf Aureus, on the other hand, as a food borne illness, is caused by a toxin created by the bacteria. As such, it presents quickly, like a poison (because it is), 45-60 minutes or so. The toxin is destroyed by proper cooking and is only, therefore, much of a risk in raw foods or those foods not cooked to a food safe temperature... like sushi. Staph Aureus is extremely common and the CDC says that 1 in 4 (25%!!!) of people are colonized in their skin or their nose. It can be asymptomatic for most of a person's life, though it can become symptomatic and surface as on-going skin infections and more, but most people who have it simply don't know. It can propagate from the cook's skin or nose to the food and the only real way to prevent it completely is to wear long gloves and always change gloves after touching the face. Frequent and nearly religious hand washing can also work, as it does in many sushi restaurants, especially in Japan, but it's a tough one to prevent. To give you an idea, sometimes surgeons have been infected and, through either improper sterile procedure in the O.R., or through failures in sterile equipment, have passed along significant, even fatal infections to surgical patients. But, again, in food, proper cooking is the solution... unless it's sushi or the like. I will come back, because I loved the sushi, but I will have to work up the courage. The symptoms really were awful for a couple days there and I really did want to go to the hospital, but I didn't. It's still hard to think about.

    Just had some nigiri which were pretty fresh. The staff were friendly, and the food came out super fast. I liked that you could just get something small and have it very pretty affordably priced.

    Sushi burritos are so so good. One of my favorite carts at the Midtown Beer Garden. Friendly owners as well.

We decided on the rainbow roll, the salmon combo, and some scallop. Everything was quite yummy and the fish tasted fresh! Hopefully we can come back again to try the ayce!

It would be easily missed if you were just walking by. Inside there were a couple of small tables adjacent to the kitchen. The ceiling was adorned with tons of cherry tree blossoms. For just a little over $100 per person, the chef's initial courses followed by unlimited omakase, were an absolute delight. Our server verbalized in great detail, what regions of Japan all the different selections of fish came from. Even with the 2 hour limit, pacing felt very even and not rushed. Every single roll and dish was so fresh, delicate, and unique. Some of the fish items just melted in your mouth. At the end of the meal, the owner was so down to earth, took the time to talk to us, and offered to take a group photo. Overall it was a very beautiful experience. Quality was top notch and the pricing for what we got was very reasonable. Would definitely come again and recommend the restaurant to others.

We ordered the Portland Timber, Rainbow (w/real crab), and the Big Easy. All amazing. Super fresh fish, good portions, didn't skimp on the good stuff. The miso was also delicious. The boyfriend also said their old fashioned was the best he's ever had. Which is saying something, because he orders those almost everywhere we go....he loves those things. We stayed for dessert, which we don't normally do, but good thing we did because the Matcha crème brûlée was a surprising combo that we loved. Staff was friendly and service was timely. I wish I had pictures but we eat before the cameras unfortunately for yall Would very much recommend!!

Maybe the idea is to help with any language barrier -- the server spoke fluent English, while often the sushi chefs do not -- but we found him way too attentive. We sat at the bar so we could interact with the sushi chefs. We did talk with a chef, but his advice wasn't very specific. So...despite plenty of suggestions from the server, and some advice from the chef, and a long time perusing and discussing the extensive menu, we still weren't sure what to order. We finally went with a combo and were disappointed to see it served in a boat! That just seemed like a gimmicky, touristy thing, we would have preferred a plate. The fish actually was very good, and so were the salads. A shrimp nigiri was the only misstep, as the shrimp was overcooked. I guess I would return to this place -- hopefully on that server's day off! And make sure my order is not coming on a little boat. And skip the shrimp.
