Best specialty rolls!: This is definately the best sushi place I've ever been to, and I like sushi! You walk in and the atmosphere is a very easy one. Definately try the specialty rolls. There are sooo many, but try at least 2 or 3!
What's not to like about this place??: The food is excellent...the music is fantastic...the waiters are all super nice...and the drinks...don't get me started on the drinks! You'd think that a place that specializes in sushi, would make really crappy chicken and steak...BUT NO...their chicken is really yummy...and their mashed potatoes...well...what can I say...this is one of the best restaurants in town!! :-)
Absolutely Fabulous!: There wasn't one thing I didn't like about this restaurant. I've spent 7 months in LA looking for a sushi place such as this, and am SO pleased to have found one.
