The Scene – Indigo fabric dividers and river stones reminiscent of Zen gardens mark the entrance of this local favorite. Constantly abuzz with activity, 10 wooden tables offer room for small and mid-sized groups in a lively dining-hall style environment. Dozens of money-cat figurines line the shelving above the sushi bar which seats approximately 30. Hanging tapestries, antique sake barrels and fresh flowers decorate the space. Blackboards on walls feature calligraphy and abstract markings, while boards behind the bar highlight daily specials. – – The Food – Diners…

Great hidden find
by daskds123
Wonderful place that lives by reputation. This is an out of the way place, but it is always busy. Extremely fresh fish and wonderful service. We always sit at the bar and love it. Try the Aji - Japanese Mackeral - it was delivered fresh while we were there the last time -OMG fresh! Much milder than regular mackeral. And if you are brave, order it sashimi and have them fry the bones for you - yes, I said fry the bones!
Like another reviewer said, during the winter months, try the Ankimo, very mild buttery pate like monkfish liver that is steam cooked. Or try the Sashito peppers fried and ask for Ponzu sauce. Yummy mild green peppers they tempura fry or grill if you like.
I am not sure what the reviewer that complaind ate, but this IS Sushi and $40 for two is about par for Good Sushi - not cheap rolls and two for one specials. No way they ordered just tempura and paid that. Sorry you had a bad experience - we have eaten here for years and has always been good.
- Pros: Super Fresh fish
- Cons: Cost - but hey, it is sushi

Small portions, outrageous prices crappy service
by stonecoldbroke
Service was crappy in this restaurant, the portions were tiny and the bill outrageous. If I want that kind of treatment, I'll go to Benihana. The food is better. Won't be back again!
- Pros: Tempura was OK
- Cons: $40 for lunch for two - are you kidding me?
