Nice quaint sushi restaurant on North Ave. VERY small space, but was cozy instead of cramped. Very friendly and attentive staff. The sushi was above average and better than what I was expecting. We ordered the fried calamari, miso soup, seaweed salad, a few rolls and sashimi. The fried calamari was great, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. It's very easy to overcook so was very impressed when it wasn't. Miso soup was basic, not great, not bad. The seaweed salad was good, but a bit too sweet for my preference. The rolls were good, the crispy salmon skin was actually crispy! My personal gauge on how good a sushi place is is based on the freshness of the seafood. I always get the Ikura (salmon roe) and the maguro (tuna). The ikura was nearly tasteless, which to me is a sign that it isn't fresh. The maguro was good, but still not the freshest I've had. Overall, it was better than I would have expected from a small neighborhood sushi place. Can't be too hard on the place since this isn't the Bay Area or LA, but definitely good for the money and location. Will be going back to check out the Katsu Curry!
