Review content:
I was referred to Saito's by a couple of locals the evening before. I have been to several sushi restaurants in the area and never heard of Saito's. Since the referral came from a Japanese and a Korean local I had to assume that this restaurant was very good.
Upon my arrival to Saito's it was very quiet for the dinner hour. I headed all the way to the back to sit at the sushi bar since I was alone. The restaurant is not designed in a great way since the sushi bar is all the way in the back next to an open kitchen. When I sat down at the sushi bar it took several moments for either one of the chef's to acknowledge my presence.
A waitress came by and offered me tea and provided one of the most sophisticated sushi menus I have ever come across. The restaurant offers one of the widest selections in sake I have ever seen. I would encourage any patron to take advantage of the selection and sample a few different types. Second, the sushi selection was great and offered some of the more exotic fish daily. Japanese Spanish Mackeral,Blue Fin Tuna, Snapper, and Bonita. I was impressed with the selection and eager to order.
Service was a bit of the issue since Saito is the only chef making sushi for the entire restaurant. At first I thought he was being rude by ignoring me, but once I got his attention he was very friendly. Saito let me sample a few different types of sashimi and mentioned that all of it is offered daily.
Looking at the other patrons...it seems that this is an authentic Japanese restaurant since many of the patrons were Japanese or asian. This was good to see and certainly a sign that the food is authentic.
Overall the food was very fresh and melted in my mouth. The service and ambience does need some work since the restaurant was not full, but I was only offered two drinks. Finally, the price of the sushi is a little higher than other restaurants..but the value is tin the sushi.
Sit at the bar and let Saito choose your meal with the sampler.
Pros: Authentic Japanese Restaurant, Wide Sushi Selection, Freshness
Cons: Slower Service, Ambience, and Poor Restaurant Design
