Excellent food

Went for our 5th anniv with high expectations and for the most part they were met.
Although we had very friendly service and were seated promptly when we arrived early...overall the service was very standard. Not amazing service like you expect from this level of restaurant. Nice folks, and at times on the ball just think I was expecting more.
The good - the hot and cold dishes were very good; the sushi great. I'll admit the tempura, California rolls and soft shell crab roll were very good quality but fairly standard in taste and presentation. Now you move into tuna and WOW. I mean WOW. If it had tuna, it was amazing.
The tuna with cilanto cold dish - fantastic. The spicy tuna roll - glorious. I mean I hate spicy tuna roll, tried this one and was blown away. Truly amazing.
We actually loved everything but there were 3-4 dished that just blew the rest away.
Dessert was great too. Delicious green te ice cream but the mochi ice cream was superb. Well worth the money and absolutely delicious. We will drive to Dallas (from Austin) just to have it again. Think $90-100 per person without drinks.
Pros: tuna!, mochi ice cream
Cons: parking attendants at hotel
