Sushi ii - Review - Keeaumoku - Oahu - The Infatuation

"There are a ton of excellent omakase options in Honolulu. Sushi ii, which is tucked away in a strip mall, is one of the few that also offers creative cooked dishes. Alongside impeccable sushi like dashi-marinated fish roe, golden eye snapper from Japan, and local, live baby abalone, you can also order things like the ikura pan, a perfect mashup of salmon roe and creme fraiche slathered on a King’s Hawaiian roll. You definitely need to make a reservation, so aim to get a seat at the sushi bar, where you can joke around with sushi chefs as they skillfully slice thick pieces of akamutsu." - Martha Cheng

Sushi ii is a true hidden gem! This little hole-in-the-wall spot delivered an unforgettable dining experience. Every dish we tried was exceptional—especially the sushi and hamachi kama, which were absolutely amazing. The sashimi was fresh and expertly sliced, the tofu was delicate and flavorful, and the soft shell crab was perfectly crisp. Their sushi rolls were creative and delicious, and the wine selection paired beautifully with everything. On top of that, the service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. A must-visit for sushi lovers!

I was in town for a business trip, went for walk that created a hunger that could only be satisfied with some fresh sushi and a cold beer. I decided to go with the toro, king salmon, tuna and green onion roll, and spicy tuna roll. If you come here, based on all those items listed above, excellent. The tuna was outstanding, the salmon melted in my mouth. The service was fast. HOWEVER....I was super lucky, party of 1 and I did not have a reservation. Make one. Do yourself a favor and get your butt down here and enjoy some incredible sushi with exceptional service, all at a fair price.

Sushi was out of this world. Came on a recommendation from a local friend. Sat at the sushi bar for omakase - best value I’ve ever had. Each piece of fish was unique - so soft and the rice was perfect too. Can’t wait to come back - will be a “must do” every trip. Atmosphere/ambiance isn’t much, but don’t judge this books by the cover. This might be the best sushi I’ve ever had.

The fish quality here is extremely good. I would recommend the sashimi and nigiri options. While I am someone who loves to try new things and will rarely repeat a restaurant when traveling, I came here twice in a work trip - the second time to to share

this place is so good it was my first time coming and I got the sashimi moriawase! The quality of the fish is amazing and the portions were great for the price, the vibes are good and the server was super nice explaining all the types of fish. I would recommend although the area has a lot of homeless at night

Yeah…this is good sushi. Very fresh fish and seafood, excellent selection of sushi and sashimi available. And then there’s also the cooked dishes side, starring the kama. They also have a specials menu that changes frequently. You can’t go wrong with anything here. My favorites were probably the toro, hirame, and king salmon nigiris. The spicy ahi roll was a bit of a dark horse as well. They have a lot of alcohol available, including some rarer Japanese whiskies. All of the bottles were pretty low though so I’m not sure how oxidized they are. Service is fast and helpful, and the atmosphere isn’t pretentious. We made a reservation, but it turns out we didn’t need it since the restaurant wasn’t that crowded even though it was a weekend evening. The biggest thing to be aware of is the cost. Even if you don’t have a huge appetite, expect your meal (including tip) to cost about $50-$75 per person without drinks.

I’ve eaten many plates of sushi, from coast to coast. From NYC all the way to California, and not ever have I had this pleasure. Every bite was a small celebration within my mouth. Simple, fresh and harmonious flavors that just work. I highly recommend if you enjoy Japanese cuisine.

Sushi ii. Let us speak plainly--because poetry is wasted on the unworthy and hyperbole falls short when faced with the sublime. Tucked into an unassuming corner of Honolulu, Sushi ii is not merely a restaurant. It is a shrine. A sanctuary of obsession. The kind of place where ingredients are not sourced--they are summoned, weekly, from the icy coasts of Japan like tribute to a demanding and discerning god. The chef? A surgeon with a blade, a poet with vinegar. His knives whisper secrets into slivers of Hokkaido uni so fresh, they still taste of the cold sea wind that kissed them hours before. His rice? Ah, the Hokkaido rice--each grain a tiny jewel, warm, seasoned with restraint and reverence, holding together like a quiet promise. This is not your average sticky filler. This is rice composed with the same seriousness as a haiku. The toro melts. The kinmedai glows. The ankimo tastes like butter that's read philosophy. Every cut, every brush of nikiri, every seasonal flourish--executed with an intensity that borders on spiritual. You don't come here for ambiance. You come here because you're a worshipper. A believer. Or a fool who's about to be converted by one piece of otoro so rich, it'll make you question every decision you've ever made about food and fidelity. Yes, it's expensive. But mediocrity is cheap, and this--this is transcendence wrapped in seaweed. Sushi ii doesn't serve sushi. It serves clarity. And if you don't understand that, perhaps you weren't meant to.

It's a small cozy place. Appetizers were very tasty but some items were kind of small. The lamb was over cooked but the other items were good. The sushi was excellent so I definitely will go back. Parking sucks during peak hours, I had to park on the street. Please see my pics on what I ate.

Another great visit. Soft shell and Ava salmon roll were scrumptious. Bone marrow was rich and flavorful. Sashimi and sushi combo was fresh and delicious! Service was quick and spot on. Ambiance was upbeat and enjoyable. I'll be back!

This is a very small restaurant buried in a strip mall. It can be a challenge to find, but worth it to come. While this is not my favorite sushi place on the island, but it very good and highly recommend to come. My tip would be to order your sushi in waves so that the fish does not warm up. I ordered the sushi platter and was savoring a bit too long and some of the fish did not taste as fresh at the end. I recommend making reservations and sitting at the sushi bar. Appetizers: fried baby octopus were crunchy and full of flavor and highly recommend. The medley of mushrooms were delicious! The flavor profile on the mushrooms were unlike anything I ate before. Sushi: ordered the sushi platter and it was gorgeous! The fish portions are quite generous and the textures. I was also able to ask for some sushi to be removed. I don't like uni (sea urchin) and tamago (egg) sushi. They removed and I was happy. Again eat your sushi fast for the ultimate freshness. Service: fast and excellent Bathroom cleanliness: average, there is one tiny bathroom in the other part of the restaurant. Restaurant cleanliness: bar area was very clean

One of the best sushi places on the island for high quality delicious sushi and savory dishes. The ebi nigiri is really sweet, fresh and melts in your mouth. Great foie gras and escargot one of my go to places when I crave those type of dishes. Awesome service and ambiance. Highly recommend!

Ok, I see the 5 star reviews and SUSHI ii did NOT disappoint. Ever since my husband & I splurged on Michelin star omakase sushi hasn't been the same, but Sushi ii is just as amazing and def didn't burn the wallet too hard. Parking was a bit challenging since the restaurant is in a tiny strip. There are a lot of restaurants around that looked appealing that I'd like to try in the future. I wonder how businesses around here survive since there's barely any parking to accommodate hungry people. But I guess if the food is good, people are willing to walk right? Everything we ordered was delicious. The beef cheek reminded me of a melt in your mouth bolognese pasta. As for fish? Excellent quality, not fishy, and worth every dollar. Just order whatever you see appetizing on the menu. You won't be disappointed with any dish.

A friend who lives in Honolulu turned us on to this nice sushi bar tucked away in a strip mall about 10 minutes from Waikiki. It's a good value but with trade offs. Food: Most of our food was above-average to excellent. The mushroom medley was perfect. The baby octopus appetizer was fantastic. But the sushi combo for $52was a mixed bag. Most of the sushi was good. I saved the tuna until the end, and it had a slightly "off" and acidic note. Drinks: Had Orion beer from Okinawa and it paired well with the sushi Service: OK service but here's a trade off. We ordered everything at once, and it all came out practically at the same time. We should have ordered in waves to better time our meal. Also, the staff is a bit overworked and not very attentive. Ambiance: simple working class sushi bar Value: Overall better than average value but the sushi is not perfect like other sushi places in Honolulu

This spot was delicious! We had the duck, abalone and scallops for appetizers. I had the rainbow roll and the fish was so fresh and delicious! I'd highly recommend stopping here for tasty sushi.

Delicious little gem tucked away at a small plaza. Tried the chef omakase which is basically customizable to how many pieces of nigiri sushi that your heart desires roughly $10/piece. They come 4 pieces at a time. Quite full already after 8 pieces but forgot to stop the chef and I was greedy for uni so ended up eating 15 pieces. Haha Super fresh raw fish especially the Australian langostino (small lobster) and Kinki fish and house marinated ikura. Overall very good value compared to other omakase I have researched.

My first 5 star! I love everything I tried! Flavors and texture were on point. I had the beef tongue which tasted like a slow cooked roast so soft and tender cooked to perfection. The best bone marrow so far on the island nothing fancy just basic but how I'd expect a bone marrow to be this is it. Crispy shrimp like the best pupu ever. The mushroom medley perfectly sautéed nice and buttery. Service excellent ambiance just right . Very welcoming chefs are brilliant and traditional which I love. Host had great suggestions and assisted my lady and I greatly.

Had a birthday dinner here tonight with my wife (her birthday), and it was great! We didn't order too much as we weren't as hungry as we both thought we'd be but everything we did order was delicious. We started off with the ahi tataki salad (refreshing) and ama ebi miso soup (the WHOLE ama ebi head included gave it that extra flavor). Then we had the sushi moriawase combo (variety of nigiri and tekka maki) and the rainbow roll (California roll with 5 different fishes on top). To end the meal, I had the ama ebi nigiri. You're probably wondering why 4 starts instead of the full 5 stars right? Well unfortunately they were sold out of the "hotaru ika" and "chuutoro", both from the seasonal menu. I really wanted to sample them but either I gotta get there earlier than 5:30pm or... check out another sushi joint to satisfy my craving. Oh and if you're wondering, they don't do anything special if it's a birthday meal. Overall, great experience. My wife enjoyed her birthday meal. We'll be back. Check em out!

The food is excellent! The fish is always fresh and prepared in a variety of ways. Besides sushi, there are delicious side dishes and appetizers from which to choose. The sake, beer and wine menu is extensive with a wide range of prices. The service has always been excellent! The ambience is casual and comfortable. There is counter space and tables for large groups and families. Upon request Sushi-Ii can reserve the entire restaurant if you wish to host a private event.

Didn't realize I visited this restaurant 9 years ago! It is still very good, although prices definitely, as expected, much higher now. The squid legs dish was delicious. I have no qualm in recommending it, but be forewarned that it was kind of overpriced; I guess one gets what he/she pays. Didn't realize they charge $1.00 for parking in the old Samsung Plaza.

Love this place! Fish is always fresh and delicious! Don't ask me about their rolls, I don't think that's real sushi lol. I eat the good raw stuff that's not covered in sauces like O toro, hamachi, uni, ikura, ama ebi, etc. this is my top 3 sushi spots in Hawaii. Clean restrooms and validated parking in front. I definitely recommend Sushi II

When we're craving uni this is our favorite spot. Always fresh and their small plates are amazing.

Ordered to go. Was looking for spider rolls and the reviews brought me here and they were the best I've had yet! Also got a California roll. Both rolls were too notch, they were $20 a roll. The inside is small but I like that you can see the sushi bar. The place was already full 30 minutes past their opening. There is a small lot there was an attendant, I told them I was just picking up and they said I should be good they give 20 min free. Be nice to the attendant because I heard most people haven't been to friendly.

This has been on my list since I first arrived to Honolulu last year! Glad I was finally able to experience their menu items. Their seasonal fish list is superb and unique, you wont find it anywhere else. I highly recommend ordering by piece and choosing the ones you like (vs. getting the omakase) so you can get other appetizers like I did! Here were the things on my menu: --Nigiri-- Tai - had to try because of the name Kanpachi Kinmedai - my favorite out of all of them. Akamutsu - second favorite Toro - always a must Scallop mayo Hotate - sweet and soft --Rolls-- Negi Toro - would recommend if you're still hungry Salmon skin roll - didn't stand out too much; I would skip next time --shareables-- - Hamachi Kama - aka yellowtail collar bone. A must order item! So much meat and the crispness and flavor of the skin make this a winner - Bone Marrow Eggplant - a popular item that lives up to the title. Must order! - Chicken Karage - not your typical karage. This was like chicken tenders with crispy and flakey skin. Was good but I would skip next time Cant wait to come back to reorder some items and try other fish from their seasonal list

Sushi is very fresh and clean. Not fishy like a popular spot in Waikiki area. Place is older but well maintained. Servers were so nice and fast! We had the freshest pieces of sashimi and nigiris and ordered their special bone marrow with eggplant and toast and we were ridiculously happy coz it's the best!!!!! Highly recommend this spot! Book a table tho, we got lucky they had a open table for an hour so we snagged that up! Validates parking in small lot that shares with neighboring businesses.

Been wanting to try Sushi ii out for a long time and finally had a chance to - on a Saturday night - last minute - 7pm walk in! Sat at the bar and got the omakase lineup. Lettme tell youuuu! It. Was. Amazing. The sushi chefs were local guys that really were catering to what tastes you like and what you preferred with some surprises, pleasant surprises! They say the usual amount of plates that a person gets is about 15 to 17 plates, but we were hungry girls that night and got a total of 21 plates! You can stop ordering whenever you want. There is no set min or max to omakase. There were a lot of white fish options. My favorites that I had there was the first time ever trying this fish called: Akamatsu also known as nodoguro. It's a fatty fish and sooooo delish!! I also enjoyed the Anago! But really everything was fresh and so Ono! The experience was definitely personable and the staff was catering and pleasant. For the quality you get, the prices are pretty reasonable! I would come back for omakase every week! I do with they opened earlier than 5:30pm for my lunch cravings!

Great quality omakase with some unique items that will scratch that adventurous itch. Price is reasonable and staff is friendly. Highly suggest you sit at the bar for omakase instead of a dining table.

The food was delicious. I was hoping the lobster would've cooked slightly more well done, but maybe that's how it's suppose to be. Was bummed that I couldn't order a salad because they were out of micro greens and lettuce. I opted for the mushrooms, which was a good choice. The nato roll and spicy tuna was tasty. Everyone enjoyed their food. Service was great. The server was very attentive and kept the water & tea filled. The restaurant is a little small, but there is also a side room for seating. The restaurant is clean. I'm not sure how much parking costs since I walked. This is a great place for lunch or dinner.

Sushi ii is the best sushi restaurant I've been to including Japan. The fish is fresh, well prepared, and very tasty! I believe the owners are Hawaiians. I've taken many friends to this establishment and they all liked the food, service and atmosphere (non-touristy). Can't wait to return.

Whether you're visiting as a tourist or whether you're a local to Hawaii, you should definitely make a visit to Sushi ii! With fresh sashimi being delivered to their restaurant every hour or so (according to our waiter), their sushi is definitely a must-try especially with their unique Edomae-style Omakase offering which means there's no set menu - the sushi chef continues to bring you nigiri pieces until you say stop. Honestly, who could say no to that? ORDER: Omakase - Chef's choice of fresh nigiri. Total price depends on how many pieces you end up eating. PRICES: Since the total price can vary depending on how many pieces and which type of fish you get, it's hard to compare with other places. However, every piece I got was extremely fresh and I don't believe it to be too expensive. AMBIANCE: Sushi ii has more of a traditional Japanese decor style, it's very clean, and quite spacious inside. This was one of the few places in Waikiki where we didn't have to wait.

What an incredible Omakase experience! The nigiri was the best we've ever had, although it was on the expensive side, it was definitely worth it. Their fish is fresh and served at the perfect temperature. We were each served about 15 pieces and the chef explained each one to us. It seems like most of their fish is sourced from Japan. I would advise making reservations in advance. We will be back to try other menu items.

Nothing negative about this sushi restaurant! Everything was fresh and bursting with enough flavor that you don't lose the actually taste intended. Had 2 servers and they did an amazing job handling the entire restaurant, both worked together to provide excellent service. Didn't get to meet sushi chefs, we were in the side room as we had a larger party. Nice seating arrangements, we thought we were gonna be huddled and squished together with a large party, but there was more than enough space and room for our party of 6. Sushi Omakase is amazing they start off with items that are familiar then work their way up to the exotic items. They advise you when to and which sauce to use and when not to. Huge kudos to the server for also acknowledging and identifying each sushi on the platter. Chiraishi omakase is a great deal & comes with everything the sushi omakase had, accept the very high price and exotic items. But way more sashimi in the chiraishi than one can finish. Small plates and other sushi rolls and nigiri all amazing and so delish! Highly suggest reservations in advance, the 5 stars are for their amazing effort to accommodate our party the day of, excellent onolicious food and amazing service. Parking is a issue, so be patient! Sorry we were so hungry we didn't get picture of the amazing food

Food: It was very delicious! Everything had so much flavor, and their sushi ratio of fish to rice is fair. The mushroom medley was very tiny, and expensive in my opinion, but delicious. The spider roll was the best I've ever had! Plenty of crab meat as well. The salmon skin roll was also a delight because they give salmon meat too in the roll, not only the skin like most other places. The biggest Disappointment was the fried ika. there was absolutely nothing to it; no flavor! Service: Meh. We always had to ask for assistance. They were nice though. This is a place to have nice conversations and a nice dinner with friends. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to eat good pupus and sushi.

Absolutely delicious! Loved that they had rarer options like yari ika and abalone and special nigiri that I wasn't familiar with like kinki and akamuru. Everything I had was incredible and servers were very friendly. I also like that you can order single pieces of sushi so you can try more things. I got there just after opening without a reservation, but as it got later, you could tell it's best to have reservations as they were pretty busy even for a Thursday evening. This will be a staple for sure!!!

The awesome waiter actually remembered me from over a month ago and offered to seat me at the same table as last time-- what a great memory~!! Salmon avo roll was so big, fresh, tasty, and generous~!! Soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger were all some of the best I've eaten... the ginger in particular was a touch sweeter which I enjoyed. Also, the scallop mayo nigiri was super loaded with lots of scallop pieces & delicious~!! The complimentary water is delicious too~!! The sushi chefs were super friendly & nice on my way out of the establishment & so was the waiter... can't wait to be back again~!!

If you find yourself looking for a casual but good sushi place in Honolulu this is your spot. You'll be greeted in the traditional japanese sushi restaurant fashion when walk into the comfy dining area. While some of our friends opted for a 2-3 hour omakase experience at another place we just wanted some good sushi without the time restraints. Also I was specifically looking for a sushi spot that served salmon skin as was craving. Here's what we ordered: - Salmon skin salad - oh man i still frequently think of this salad, what a great mix of crispy salmon skin and micro greens that's dressed well. I'd say this is a do not pass on item if you like salmon skin. - Assorted nigiri sushi - we tried the two different eel nigiris side by side, Ikura, chutoro, sake, hamachi, kanpachi, akaebi w. fried head and the abalone. They were all great, but the abalone is chewy and crunchy just note. The above items paired well with a bottle of dassai 39 sake on ice. Our waitress was great as well checking on us frequently. Would recommend making reservations here just in case, as it was busy on a Sunday even.

Went back again with the family the food was just as tasty as the first time. I just wanted to change my opinion of the decor. This time i sat facing the sushi bar as opposed to next to the drink cooler and facing the wall. It is nicely decorated, love the hooks at the sushi bar. Highly recommend this place. Thanks, Garrett for the ono grindz!

PARKING they share a small private lot with the rest of the tenants in samsung plaza. stalls are hella tight and they run out quick. if you leave after 10 its free parking though. otherwise you have to find street parking nearby SERVICE they were all very polite and professional. nothing super standout about the service, though thats not a bad thing. they cleaned up the plates pretty quick since we were doing omakase. they do tell you what each dish is, but they talk kind of soft, so you have to make sure youre paying super close attention or you'll miss what they say FOOD overall the sushi was good enough. though i guess because i had heard so many good things about this place i was maybe expecting more? smaller balls of rice, and decent sizes of fish. my favorite was the ikura as they marinate it in a dashi sauce first so its super flavorful. otoro was good, but not melt in your mouth. it had a slight chew to it, like it had been frozen and didnt quite defrost all the way. nigiri itself tasted fresh and for the most part was kept very simple (just fish and rice). only a couple of the pieces had a little something extra, like the ikura. most were raw fish with only a couple being seared or cooked. while its called omakase, it is a set coursed menu with 19 dishes. and not sure how often the selection actually changes or if they keep it the same all the time. according to the specials board though they do bring in seasonal fish, most of which were featured in the omakase. i would go back, for sure. it was really yummy, but i wouldnt necessarily say it was the best sushi id ever eaten. or that it was so superb it really made me go OMFG!

The absolute best raw fish we found in Honolulu (and we tried about ten different restaurants). I'd recommend highly to anyone who wants authentic Japanese sushi. Both ambiance and service felt really authentic. Reservations are an absolute must but they may have last minute ones if you are open to very early or very late dinner.

We also had the ribeye steak and it was so good. Everything was so good, I highly recommend this place for the best sushi and steak, but the bone marrow is a must try. The place is a tiny hole in the wall and isn't very high class at all, but the food is top notch, the best I've had yet. The waiter Daniel was awesome, he helped us with what ever I needed, and was super friendly. Go try this place you won't be disappointed.

I was looking for an omakase sushi place and this was the only place that was open till later in the night and I am glad I visited this restaurant. I had to call them to make a reservation because they don't do online reservation. The place was packed when O got there. It's a small sushi place and it was busy. When I arrived, I was seated right away at the bar. They have 2 different options for Omakase- 1. Nigiri omakase 2. Sashimi omakase. I picked the nigiri omakase. This omakase was different than the ones I've been to in the past. For this Omakase, there is no set menu. You basically pick between the 2 options, and you keep getting served until you are full. So basically you have to tell them when you are done and then they charge you for whatever you ate. Two other things to note here are that - 1. You can tell your server to kindly include any particular nigiri options that you want as part of your omakase experience. 2. This omakase includes some exotic Japanese fish. The cost of each nigiri is based on the market price, and it is usually around $7/piece. I got to try following nigiri as part of my omakase experience - 1. Seasonal fish × 5 2. Shima aji 3. Hirame 4. Ika 5. Mirugai 6. Hoy scallop mayo 7. Kani 8. Uni 9. Ikura 10. Unagi 11. Kinmedai 12. Mutsu 13. Anago 14. Crab Every nigiri that I tried was fresh, tender, flavorful, and had a clean taste. Some of the nigiri were seared and some were slightly salted, and they didn't require any ponzu sauce. Some of their nigri had more wasabi than what I usually like, but it was still really good. Each nigiri came with a generous cut of the fish. Even the ginger on the side was very flavorful, with a good balance of sweet and slightly tangy flavors. My favorites were uni, unagi, eel, hirame, and scallop mayo. I would definitely come back next time I visit Honolulu. There is a small parking lot in the complex where the restaurant is located. The restraunt validates your parking.

Came here after shopping at Ala Moana at the recommendation of the Prada sales associate. LOVE IT. Many locals seem to come and enjoy eating and drinking here and it wasn't filled with many tourists. The restaurant is a decent size and the ambiance is very calm. Service was amazing, our server gave us some great reccs. The food- AMAZING. I know it's crazy but the lamb lollipop and grilled corn were so flavorful. The Sashimi plate and the Chirashi were so fresh and the fish melts in your mouth. We got the spider, negi toro rolls and they were simple and tasty. highly recommend this spot!!

Located across Walmart in the old Sam Sung area in the same parking lot as Karai Crab, the parking is limited and there is limited parking on the street also. But the food is fantastic the karaage chicken is the best I had it was very flavorful and the the batter was light and flaky! The sushi was full of fresh fish and not the type with more rice then fish. The ika sashimi was tasty and well presented with lots of shredded daikon and shiso leaves. Also the ika gesso grilled was done perfectly not under cook and not over cooked. The Skate fin was very tasty and grilled just right. The Shisamo was also done right not over cooked and still moist with all the eggs. The Spider roll had the largest soft shell crab I seen with lots of Tobiko toppings, it was delicious! The huge amounts of different types of sake is a sales lovers dream of all the choices available! They have limited seating and the tables only can seat 4 per table unless you sit on the sushi counter seats, so call an make your reservation if not you might be able to get seating!

Our oldest got engaged over the weekend! What a good reason to celebrate and enjoy a delicious omakase dinner! Make your reservations early. Sushi ii opens at 5:30PM with a line to get it. Walk-ins are welcome, but best to make reservations beforehand. We love sitting at the sushi bar watching Sushi Chef Steve prepare each dish and share with us some facts about the fish/seafood and his style/'method of preparation! We're constantly learning something new every time! Steve serves the freshest seafood flown in from Japan and caught fresh locally. We recommend Sushi ii for some of the freshest seafood served up to please your palate and each dish is picture perfect every time! Steve's surrounding staff are kept busy throughout the evening, but will always keep your cup of hot tea hot and make sure you stay well-hydrated and enjoy your meal. Steve is entertaining and so sweet to do something special to make the meal memorable. If you're hungry for sushi give Sushi ii a try. There's validated parking right outside. Kanpai!
