On a Sunday night around 6:30pm, service was quite slow due to a heavily packed restaurant. After quick seating, ordering and water took about 15 minutes, tea arrived another 15 minutes after that. Miso soup arrived about 25 minutes after ordering and finally sushi rolls arrived around 45 minutes after ordering. It seemed quite dragged out, especially if you are hungry and have more things scheduled for the evening. The slow turnaround was the only drawback. Atmosphere was nice and sushi was flavorful with good presentation. Pricing was pretty decent, perhaps not the cheapest option for the quality provided, but definitely reasonable. I'd certainly go back for more samples, but also aim for a slower time of day for improved service.
It's nice, but it's overpriced for the food and service. It is one of the better upscale (read expensive) Japanese restaurants, if you want a private tatami room. Food is very good, but not excellent or superb, according to my Japanese wife; and I agree. But you have to go to Japan to get really excellent or superb food and service, and it's expensive, too. Good for a special event or celebration of you can afford it.
