I'm not from Restaurant Management. My name is Judd and I live in Bel Air. And I've just found my new favorite Sushi spot in Los Angeles. The ambiance is very modern and detailed, yet warm and inviting. More than just a nice touch, the live jazz band brings an air of gentle sophistication to the place and makes you feel on top of the world with your own private musicians serenading you with talent as you enjoy your sushi. And the sushi, one bite and you know this is quality. Fresh, tasty and generous portions. This might have been the most attentive service I've received in a long time. I like to drink a lot of ice tea, and the glass never went empty; they must have come around to refil it 5 times. It's great to be at a restaurant where the servers pay attention to you and make sure you're taken care of. Including the owner, Azuza, she came by our table and talked with us for a good 5 minutes or so, very intelligent, gracious and she bowed as she left our table. I hope she does well with this business, it's obvious she's poured her heart into it. The biggest shock to my system happened when the bill came. I hadn't paid much attention to the prices when I was ordering, but looking around at the expensive atmosphere, live talented musicians, top quality delicious sushi and attentive service with personal attention from the owner, I was ready to get an $80 to $100 bill for a satisfying dinner for two. I opened to bill to find a total of $41.57 (!) I made sure there wasn't an error, and sure enough it added up corrrectly, the prices are just f-ing reasonable. That was the final seal on the deal; this is my favorite Sushi restaurant. I will be bringing friends and any future dates here for sushi. None of this is an exageration, I just had to write a review. Check it out for yourself. And tell your friends. I know how hard it is to make a restaurant successfull. At these prices I don't know how they stay in business. I want make sure my new favorite restaurant flourishes.
