I always start with Hamachi sushi when first going to a sushi restaurant. The Hamachi was tender, not overly cold, and the rice was substantial enough to hold the fish but not hard or cold, again a great temperature. Thank being delicious, everything we ordered was great. I especially like the cod bite w/ miso. Prices are a bit high but the overall quality of this restaurant is great and based on its reputation lives up to the hype
