This is probably one of my top 3 Japanese restaurants in Duluth.
Honestly, it's more of a dive than a nice, posh restaurant...and I really don't like how small and cramped their eating quarters are. Not comfortable at all...especially for someone like me who loves space!
HOWEVER. Their foods are EXCELLENT! I've had this "Rainforest" Sushi Roll before, and I was stunned with its beauty...and amazing taste! So much so that I had to repeat this order of the "Rainforest" Sushi Roll.
Well, sadly, the presentation wasn't as spectacular this time around (compare the pic from my previous visit!), but still colorific nevertheless. Also, tasted phenomenal...just as before. I've only had this same dish (twice), but already it totally makes sense that this is a Zagat-rated restaurant.
There was also this major annoyance on this particular dining experience...in that this solo guy seated right next to me basically yelled out an essay of his fabulous life and achievements to strangers seated next to him. He went on and on talking loudly throughout my entire time there...WOW. THIS is another reason why I hate small restaurants and small spaces. Zero privacy...and when you encounter someone like this who has the need to share himself with the whole restaurant, it can basically ruin your dinner lol.
So normally, an experience like this will make me wanna rate down the restaurant itself...I mean, OMG?!? Yet, I can't...their sushi roll was too damn good! For their food, I am willing to return to endure the small, cramped space and even the possibility of sitting right next to another loud, pompous asshole. Yes, THAT good!!
