This place is great. We came from Orange County for a concert and intended on eating on Sunset but this place was the only one without a wait. We sat at the sushi bar and had about 5 different dishes. Our chef was knowledgeable in what was fresh and gave us a couple "chef's specials". Everything tasted fresh and wonderful. Great food for half price, we were stuffed with a sake for $47 for the entire meal.
