The sushi is excellent but the portions are very small.
If you're very hungry - go somewhere else. Very small portions, so you need to spend some $$ to get enough. Taste is 6 out of 10... Friendly stuff, huge parking and good place for a quick bite or lunch. ...
I personally know the owner, Chef Saito. He is quiet but a great person once you get to know him through small talk and frequent visits. As far as quality, the sushi is phenomenally good. Worth the money.
I read the reviews of this restaurant before going and it was one of the best rated. I have to agree. The sushi here is SUBLIME! The chef is shy and serious but really charming to talk to when he warms up to his favorite subject: Jazz. (He named his restaurant after a jazz piece of the same name). The portions are the same as any other sushi place. It's small but really a gem of a find. One of the best sushi places in Los Angeles!
The sushi is excellent but the portions are very small. The owner is not very social and doesn't seem to appreciate having any customers at all. I've been here a number of times and each time I wen't home feeling like I was disrespected in some way. Never a smile from the owner, never a sign of any appreciation or even passion for his work. The food is great, no doubt about it. I would not recommend this place as the experience is less than perfect.
