    i went there and it was ok. i was new to california at the time, and outraged that i had to pay for rice. and i think it was actually more than just the typical $1 per person. i was like, whoa. and not in a good way. but it sure beats this really horrible sushi place i went to in foster city. but that was run by non-japanese people, so guess you get what you pay for.

    oh, and it's not like sasabune. but i didn't do omakase.

    I went there 2 years ago. overhyped in my opinion. And the prices were a bit high for the quality.
    There isn't many good sushi bars in the mid penninsula (north of palo alto, south of SF)

      Yeah, I kinda agree. They charged some ridiculous price for rice, too.

      There are a few good izakaya-type places in the mid-peninsula, but I haven't come across any great sushi experiences.
