text: This rating is based on food more than service, which is fine, I'd rather have great food & so-so service\n\nIn town for yet another trade show, we ran from the strip & found this place (thanks yelpers!!)\nSmallish, cramped space, and packed! So we knew it must be good.\nThey fit us in with no res (on a Thursday), and the service was decent, not rude, but rushed & they got one thing wrong, but not major.\nThe menu is augmented with \"specials\" on paper all over the walls. Helps if you speak Japanese I think (another good sign).\nSo we just kept ordering more after looking around, and everything was GOOD. \nThis is not your typical \"American\" sushi joint with Calif roll/ spicy tuna roll. This is real Japanese food, some twists like Jalapeno friend rice, which we heard was good from the guy next to us.\nSo if you want GOOD, fresh, real food, this is the place.\nMaybe make a res!\nAnd there's a bakery next door that has yummy dessert.\nGo across the street for a fab foot massage to end the evening.
