It's pretty close to 3.75 stars. \n\nThey offer a few dishes most AYCE sushi joints don't like ribeye Big Wong style, fresh oysters, and kushiyaki (meat on a stick) options like bacon wrapped scallops. It's actually a good place to bring that one friend who dislikes sushi. I also like the all you can drink beer/wine/sake option for $10 more but they said they're going to change it next month. Ummm....why?? \n\nThis location used to be Kaizen and you can definitely tell from the look of the place. Interesting mix of old and modern and the long tables definitely encourage groups to stay a while. We sat at the bar to pick the chefs brain on recommendations. The whole staff was Korean. Not too much of a big deal for me. \n\nSushi standouts were the halibut and super white tuna nigiri. The chef, Alex, said it was the freshest fish they had and it was great. There were a ton of great options if you like cream cheese, rolls deep fried or something in unagi sauce. I am not one of those people but knock yourself out a la Drago vs Creed if you are. Basic rolls were fine and the freshness was acceptable. \n\nI was really intrigued that they offered both miso and tonkotsu ramen. I just HAD to try half a bowl of tonkotsu made by Koreans. The noodles, broth and 2 big pieces of pork belly were pretty good but it wasn't exactly Japanese ramen. Koramen? Alex took pride in the fact he made the broth from scratch as he should..it was tasty but not Japanese by any means. \n\nService was definitely on top of things. There were 3 waiters checking on us throughout the meal and earned their gratuity.
