I've been watching everyone enjoy this place from afar for years and finally took the plunge to come back. \n\nThe BF and I came for the late night happy hour which is from 10pm to close. Various nigiri, rolls, appetizers and dishes are discounted. Some become a really good deal, some just have a tiny discount. \n\nWe got some rolls (comes 4pc to a order, not a whole roll). \nSalmon skin - good, and the sauce is not too sweet and I like when places put bonito flakes. \nGarlic yellowtail roll - pretty fresh yellowtail, simple but good. \nSpicy scallop - was a crab and scallop mixture, just OK \n\nTobiko nigiri - duo of two kinds! nicely fresh. \nAnago - very good anago and a generously large slice of it \n\nKaki udon - the broth was actually rather tasty, a bit sweet on the finish. This was rather filling and hit the spot. \n\nWe also splurged and got ourselves a live scallop (not part of HH). Fresh scallop is softer and sweeter than not live. I enjoy that other than the main scallop, they included the \"fins\" which are a bit more chewy and crunchy but I happen to really like it. \n\nA few weeks later I went here to lunch with a regular, Christie O. \n\nI had a chirashi bowl/sushi with rice. It comes with miso soup and salad, both standard, but good. The bowl had a decent amount of fish - 2 pieces of : yellowtail, tuna, white tuna, salmon, tamago and 1 piece of: octopus, shrimp, kani and surf clam. Also has some radish, and cucumber garnish. I took a few bites of Christies sashimi. Definitely all the fish was fresh.\n\nI think the service is pretty nice here, though generally not speedy. \n\nI guess this place has redeemed itself and I can see why people like this place. Will be back for some live uni.
