Our concierge made us last minute reservations and were the only diners on the 2nd floor counter seats. I don't know if this rubbed the chef the wrong way as if was off hours but the sushi that he served was overfilled with wasabi. We've been eating sushi for 30 years and I have never experienced a ...chef like this. I don't know what reaction he wanted from us. We didn't say anything, didn't react. I kept eating while downing glasses of water because we refused to let him win. Finally, halfway through the course, he started putting in normal amount of wasabi. My only regret was not taking photos of the wasabi-laden sushi out of respect for a chef who doesn't deserve any.

I went there with my sons by luck. We were walking around the fish market and choose this restaurant by chance. But we found the best sushi restaurant I have been in my life. Just delicious!!! I went there again last night with my whole family. Again, awesome, superb food and service

Tsukiji is world famous for the amount of fresh seafood that passed though its location. It is surrounded by many eateries both low cost and high end. I had chosen this particular restaurant based on the advertised menu of Hokkaido Uni and Chutoro (belly part of tuna, medium grade), it is double the... price of most other restaurants in the area so I did expect top quality offering. It turns out okay but no where near my expectations. The Uni is not too quality, some even have slight bitter taste, the Chutoro is not cut expertly nor a good cut so you can taste the connecting tissues. Worst of all, the sushi rice is not cooked well, rather than being able to distinguish the rice grain by grain and with a slight firmness to it, the rice served were not cooked properly and they stuck together and are cooked for too long.

On the day we visited, this place was significantly less busy compared to some of the other restaurants. It was during lunch time and we only had to wait for about 10 minutes. My partner and I opted for the 10 piece and 8 piece lunch set. Each piece was prepared masterfully and the taste and textur...e were spot on. One of the more senior chef who we sat across spoke really good English and patiently explained each piece. They happen to have geoduck that day and that was a first for both of us. The bill was 10k yen, which is not bad considering the quality and amount of sushi we got.
