This is one of my favorite restaurants. Delicious sushi with some Thai influences. Intimate setting. The chefs prepare the meal in front of you, they have a great sense of humor. They refill your sake continuously through the night. They are so welcoming and so clearly enjoy what they do! You leave feeling full but not uncomfortably so. It is a great value.
