The term ""Sushi Nazi"" is a bit of an insult, but does reflect the strange attitude of the sushi-san. Some have said that this dogmatic and assertive attitude is the way it is in Japan. Says who?!?! I've been to Japan, had sushi at many places there, including some little places tucked away in the Tsukiji district. I have never, ever encountered the almost hostile attitude displayed here, nor have I ever been kept at a distance from the sushi bar.
This is really bizarre, and I think the sushi-san is just an odd person who is controlling and likes attention.
That being said, the sushi is very good, but that atmosphere does the place a huge disservice.
Pros: fresh, fresh fish, great rice
Cons: attitude
