Very disappointing 3/12/2005

I expected: small, welcoming, low-key, neighborhood place to for sushi and kushiage. I got: Japanese restaurant where the sushi chefs not only don't welcome you with a traditional ""irrashaimase!"", but where they barely pay attention to you throughout the meal! Sat at the sushi bar & received perfunctory service at best. Two Japanese parties, however, were practically waited on hand & foot by owner Sachiko, who said exactly seven words to us the entire visit: ""Would you like to order more sake?"" Food: fair to middling, not worth any hype. Funniest part: trying to pass off a ""hanbaga"" (Japanese hamburger) as ""Japanese-style beef tartare"" on a ""kaiseki sampler""! Sorry - you can get a typical hamburger with gravy at any Tokyo corner joint. Keep pulling the wool over the eyes of the bridge & tunnel crowd, Sachiko - this o-kyaku will take his business elsewhere. Pros: Restaurant ambiance, Sashimi acceptable Cons: Very poor service, Aloof sushi chefs, Ignored by owner more

Owner Message

  • 6 QUESTIONS: SACHIKO KONAMI
    Owner/Chef

    Any recommendations for sushi newbies?
    Try Carpaccio in ponzu sauce and California roll.

    What drink pairs best with sushi?
    Sake, especially Junmai. We also have sakes you won't find in other restaurants that pair well with our tapas.

    The secret to preparing sushi is?
    The rice. It's a complicated process; the ratio of sushi vinegar to water, the amount of time you steam, the texture. My taste is very traditional from Japan.

    How do you describe your menu?
    Traditional Japanese with a twist. We're not Asian fusion, but we like to experiment with traditional Japanese ingredients.

    What's your favorite dish?
    The Goma Dofu is actually a 1,000-year-old recipe from Kyoto, Japan. It's a handmade sesame tofu.

    Your most creative roll?
    The Wildfire Roll. It's a California roll with fresh jalapeno, spicy tuna on top and special sauce.

Editorial
