The dishes were well presented and all enjoyed. This appears to be an old school sushi restaurant modified for the local community. Families with children were at an adjacent table and a couple speaking Japanese at the counter which might be called a sushi bar. Decor and dress is as low end as you can get. The menu is interesting - they pressed hard for us to select from the robata selection (which the wait staff called Japanese barbeque) and the few pieces we had were very good. The sushi was outstanding although for some reason our order got lost! We ended up thoroughly enjoying everything and the staff were extremely courteous. The price was a bit higher than we expected given the restaurant decor etc ... but the quality was worth it.
