IKKAI

Let's get the cons out of the way. This place is very small. You'll feel cramped if you choose to sit in the aisle. Also your order will take a while to be made. But sitting at the bar gave me a look at how fast the chefs are working at making each sushi order. These guys know what they're doing. And the sushi tastes amazing in my opinion. The fish tastes fresh, tender, almost sweet. None of the fishy flavor comes out that you taste in some cheaper restaurants. The zesty maki with lemon zest was my favorite roll. Definitely worth coming by. But if you're hungry, maybe order a miso or appetizer.

The wait was quite long but we got lucky and an earlier reservation was cancelled. It was nice of the staff to let our walk-in fill the spot. We tried a mix of all the vegetarian sushi and a couple of the specialty maki (rainbow, zesty, "this", and ocean prime). Everything was amazing, and the vegetarian options were surprisingly good. One of the better sushi spots I've been to in the burbs.

Everything was awesome. Interior, music, mood, especially food. This food was sooo delicious that it makes me happy. I just want to say I glad to know this restaurant. ????
