Joshu-ya BrasserieFresh, creative, and deliciousThe hamachi tartare with seared ankimo foie gras was inventive, creative and absolutely delicious. It was pricey at $20, but worth every bite. I will be back for that dish alone. Aslo had Joshuya roll and the Marilyn Monroe. Also very tasty. Service was fast and attentive. Disappointed that they were out of all ice creams (green tea and black bean), but they substituted moshi balls and made them complimentary. I really liked this place!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was OMG great! IThe food was OMG great! I had the pork belly tacos and moaned after every bite. My friend had the octopus salad which she said was out of this world as well. Our waitress was knowledgeable and you could tell she enjoyed the food there as much as we did (always a good sign).5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMQuite good sushiI made reservations for 5:45 PM on a Saturday, but the drive from Davis took me a little longer than expected. I called ahead to tell them that I would be late, to which they said that would not be a problem, and we arrived around 6:10. There seemed to be a few big party groups, and we weren't able to get seated until 10 or 15 minutes later, but besides that, our experience was quite nice. The servers were attentive, not overly intrusive, and I felt like we got our food at a reasonable time.
We went for the sushi omakase, and the fish overall, minus a few items, was quite good. I was disappointed by the scallops, uni, and ikura, but for the rest of the fish and its good quality, $40 for 10 nigiri and 4 sashimi is a pretty good deal.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMSushi, at it's best.
