Sushi restaurants are my thing. I love the food, I love the atmosphere, I just love everything about the experience. The first time I tried sushi I was petrified. I thought it was solely a raw fish dish, but I was wrong. Don’t get it twisted, nowadays I love the raw fish part, but there is so much more to it. Just recently I found out a new sushi spot was opening less than a mile from my house. Needless to say, I was pretty excited.
I started looking into the new place, and it looked promising right from the get go. During building I stopped in and got to have a word with the owner. After talking to him for several minutes, I could see this place was headed in the right direction. I mean you can’t go wrong with a sake bar in your establishment. A lot of sushi places use cookie cutter menus and the same frozen pre-packaged food. I was told this place would be a lot different, they were even hiring a professional chef to run the kitchen.
By the time the place opened, anticipation was soaring. I got there very early, and the line was already enormous. Not wanting to miss out, I waited for almost three hours to get inside. When I finally sat down, I was not disappointed. The sake bar looked great, but there were no seats there, so we took a regular table. I was quite impressed with the service and the food was absolutely stunning. I’ve been back every week since the grand opening, and I don’t think they’ll be able to keep me away.
