Decided to try Sushi Shota last night on a friend's recommendation, only to walk into the restaurant and realize we had been there before about one year ago! Luckily, we enjoyed it last time we were there. We had previously tried the set menu (they had a buy one, get one for 50% off promotion), that was good but nothing remarkable. At that time, we were the only people in the restaurant beside one other couple. What a huge difference last night! The whole restaurant was full - both tables and sushi bar. The staff was friendly and (slightly) overly-attentive in that endearing Japanese way (example: the waitress stood over me for almost 10mins while I reviewed the extensive sake/shouchu menu). We ordered a bottle of slightly sweet and easily drinkable sake ($190) and my boyfriend had a sesame shouchu to start (which he really enjoyed). We ordered a-la-carte and had an excellent selection of sashimi - scallop, fatty tuna, hamachi, amberjack (seasonal fish). I initially thought the fatty tuna was pretty expensive at $350, but the slices were huge (probably 3x the size at most sushi places) and it was marbled with fat like no tuna I had ever seen! The amberjack was also very good with a lovely, creamy texture. Quantities were abundant. The deep-fried tofu was nicely battered & fried and the tofu itself was soft and perfect. Miso soup was also good. We also ordered a few pieces of sushi where were of high quality. Even though the waitress thought we would be full by then, we decided to also order the special shota roll which had minced tuna, squid, salmon - 8 large rolls. We polished it off and finished the evening with two sweet Japanese oranges which were very tasty. Although the meal was quite expensive ($2000 for dinner for 2), the sushi was high quality. In fact, we watched one of the chefs skin and gut a huge fresh fish right in front of us!
