Who the heck knew I would find a Zagat-rated, and well deserving of same, sushi restaurant in a strip mall? I almost couldn't find it. But what a find. The quality of the fish, preparation, presentation... everything about the food has been perfect across multiple dinnertime visits, prompting me to send my compliments to the chef each time. The waitstaff is attentive and observant. I have noted the older waitstaff coaching and guiding the younger ones to pick up cues from patrons. Staff dress is Japanese and traditional. They deserve a grand ""hurrah"" for providing a level of service that is difficult to find anywhere. The environment is quiet and respectful; this is not for noisemaking kids (including the adult kind). I would take a date or an executive there anytime. Favorite dish off the usual path-- the grilled, salted yellowtail cheek (appetizer), which is big enough to be dinner. Amazing, wonderful place.
Pros: Beyond-excellent food, Beyond-excellent service.
Cons: Not fond of the parking lot, but I have never had difficulty getting a space. Go anyway!
