Easy to overlook, but a mistake if you do.
(update: It's *totally* turned into to a regular haunt)
It's the easiest thing to drive by - the sign isn't much, and the place looks, well, forbidding (like a dive, actually). Thing is, it's pretty far from that inside - the sushi-chefs are a wee bit wizardly, the owner/staff are friendly and welcoming, the service is top-notch, and the sushi is great.
Ok, let's go a bit further - the sushi is actually *stellar*. The baseline sushi is just plain good, but the inventive stuff is, as I said, *stellar*. Seared, or sprinkled, or savory, it doesn't matter - the stuff all works, and is definitely worth having. (Great sashimi platters too, while I'm at it.)
Lastly, it's fairly inexpensive (for sushi that good). For a full on omoakase, with 330ml of sake each, you'll probably get away paying between $60 and $100 (which, seriously, is a steal)
