My second time here b/c my first experience at the sushi bar sitting in front of the fresh fish /shellfish was awesome.Sat night 8pm, restaurant half empty, the fresh fish / shellfish that you see in the Openrice pics are no longer there - a sign of diners not returning. Should have walked out thenOrdered the $480 assorted sushi platter for two b/c frankly they didn't have any special, seasonal fish on hand. Sat night must be a school night for the neighborhood.

Ordered the $480 assorted sushi platter for two b/c frankly they didn't have any special, seasonal fish on hand. Sat night must be a school night for the neighborhood. The chef actually jokingly said: Aya, I was hoping to close up at 8.
A good sign of nigiri restaurant is that the rice should be slightly warmed and sticky so the slice of fish sticks. Their rice is so cold and rock solid, it thought I was at Genki Sushi. Try throwing cooked rice on the wall like cooked spaghetti for your stickiness test please. There is not much to say about the fish quality. It wasn't fresh.
Ask for sake and of course the waitress recommended the $780 bottle and then the $680 bottle. Is there a moderate price bottle? Yes, here is a $480 one but it is not as good. So we just asked if they have house sake and she had to check with the manager. Is it not for sale, fake sake, or do you need to ask the big gun to sell me the more expensive sake? Anyways, it was warmed in a water bath and not the microwave, which I appreciated. Except, they boiled it for 15 mins so all the alcohol evaporated. There are so many youtube videos on how to warm sake appropriately! Please watch one. I will write you the url on paper if you don't know how to google.
We were going to order more after the platter but just wanted to get out. 25mins, $750 for 2, we went to Tai Hang to eat more.
