food/value: portions are large. fish is very fresh and well-cut. the menu is extensive. dishes other than sushi are varied and well-prepared. beautiful soup.
service: swift, friendly, and accomodating. they went out of their way to bring extras, including complementary treats. we once had a wonderful birthday celebration there. i hope to one day be known as a regular here.
ambience: the tatami room is pleasant and quiet--perfect for an intimate gathering. the rest of the restaurant feels cozy and friendly--not too crowded. while the outside isn't so impressive, this is more than made up for in food and atmosphere. never too empty, but you can always find a seat without too much wait.
Pros: service, portion size, ambience
