best in town. i moved to hbg 20 years ago when we got our 1st sushi bar (twan was the chef)... i have dined at most over the years and settled into 1 on west shore that was the best (while branching out to see if the new ones were any good)....i branched out last night and tried miso with my wife. one word...incredible. actually, it inspired me enough to write a review (something i have never done). i am traditional sushi guy; i like my sashami and sushi pieces with a simple roll.... though also try special rolls for kids/wife. last night: 2 orders each of salmon and tuna sashimi, unagi, tamago, spicy tuna roll, tobiko w/ quail egg and tnt roll. in addition, when i asked if the chef had any toro, he explained that he didnt though did have some fatty belly meat that i may like as he showed me what it looked like...i said please add it to my order. he included it in my order on the house! which was a very nice gesture considering the price of real toro. it melted in my mouth btw. the special rolls coming over the counter were beautiful and i plan on coming back to try some other patron recomendations like the pink flamigo roll, etc. my wife and i were equally pleased with the bill and feel it was completely a bargain given the quality!
the fish was incredible, service perfect....and the chef(s) were friendly. we had our order within 10 minutes and it was 6pm on a friday and the table seating was full. having 3 chefs cranks out the sushi imo. the place is clean, bathrooms clean...and byob is a definte benefit. this is the sushi bar i have been looking for..... my wife was equally as impressed. the only "issue" i had was i could not see the chef(s) preparing the food which i enjoy while sitting at the bar...though it appears as if the side seats allow a visual.
