My regular 5-star go to spot as of late did me dirty with some old fish on their appetizer sashimi plate (I'm lookin' at you, Naka Sushi) so I decided to try out a new joint.\n\nI think many past reviews have hit the highs and lows of this place right on the nose (don't you love yelp?)\n\nPROS:\n--Sashimi roll appetizer: Highlight of the entire meal, outstanding\n--Fish was fresh; good salmon, yellowtail and red snapper\n--Seafood Tostada: Great flavor\n--Tuna carpaccio: Great!\n--Service: Excellent, fast and friendly waitress\n--Good use of the toasted garlic chips on a few dishes\n--Gyoza: Perfectly pan fried, so many other places steam it soggy.\n--Chef willing to make some stuff not on the menu per request, such as my California style salmon Nigiri (rice/salmon/avocado/lemon/jalapeno/garlic ponzu)\n--Open til 3am\n--Decent fish/rice ratio\n--They'll do half rolls if you ask (most places do these days)\n\nCONS:\n--The music is a little bit in your face...I guess they are going for the hip vibe with house remixes of top 40 pop...\n--Though I'm a fan of garlic, in a couple plates they mistakenly used garlic ponzu when regular ponzu would have been called for. Had to have been a mistake as the after-taste didn't gel right with the fish. \n--The lemon pieces over some nigiri were twice as thick as they should be. A little over-powering\n--Not too many choices for rolls, but I didn't walk out hungry \n\nThe place is the closest sushi joint to where I live and open til 3am...I walked out satisfied and I'll most likely be back. \n\nStrong 4 stars
