The prices are on the higher side. When I saw there was a 50% off "Oktobeerfest" promotion, I jumped at it. We arrived right when they opened at 11:30am, and there was a line outside the door. I saw some parties coming back out from inside. When we got to the hostess, we were told there was a 45 minute wait. I was annoyed. Half the restaurant was empty, but they didn't have enough staff to seat us. I had tried to make a reservation online, but it didn't work. I guess I should've called, but didn't think I needed to if we arrived early enough. If they were going to run the promotion, then they should make sure they can handle it. Towards the end of our wait, the hostess was quoting others 2 hours!
We ordered right away after we were seated as I already browsed the menu. We went with Course B, because we wanted nigiri and sashimi. Each sashimi order comes with 3 pieces of fish. We had the typical tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. We mostly ordered nigiri, and I'm glad they don't contain much rice. We had the garlic tuna, garlic salmon, shiro salmon, yuzu salmon, yuzu yellowtail, super white tuna (escolar), shrimp, freshwater eel, surf clam, and salmon belly. My favorites were the super white tuna and salmon belly.
We also ordered the monkey brain (deep fried mushroom with crab- pass), veggie tempura, agedashi tofu, kaki fry, yellowtail collars, 1/2 Washington roll, and 1/2 Monica roll. I ended the meal with lychee sherbet and strawberry mochi ice cream. I definitely felt as if I ate my money's worth!
