"Looking for a late night meal after snowboarding all day and wanting to be away from the main part of downtown, this place did it. Great choice I usually look over the bad and not-so bad reviews to see what was the worst day some of someone's pathetic life that compelled them to trash the hard work of building-up a respectable business. I found some pretty bold claims, none phased me. So I faced the -5℉ temps and went for a walk from my hotel to dine with my son. At 9pm on a weekend night, the place was empty. This usually is a really bad sign. Still willing to run the risk, we moved up to the host, equally as warm and fuzzy as the weather outside. As we went to our table walking by the sushi bar, it looked as if they had checked out. Station cleaned, fish wrapped in plastic, no chefs at the ready. Now I’m worried. Looking over the leignthly menu we decided 3 rolls to share and Agedashi tofu. Almost immediately we were served Miso and a small salad. Still no pleasantries from the host/server but by now it doesn't matter. The chef appeared, sushi was made to order and delivered shortly after. Very fresh, very good and not breaking the bank. I guess the Miso, salad and dessert was included. We couldn't find any mention of a meal set. Funniest part of the meal was, after we finished the main course our expressionless and generally unimpressed server cracked and said, “are you ready for your Oreos”. Not knowing what to expect we both answered “ummmm, ok?” Minutes later two, hot out of the oil, tempura deep fried Oreos under a Denali sized frop of whipping cream drizzled with chocolate running out like an avalanche in May was set down between us. These are not at all like the county fair versions, insanely better. GET Them! The restaurant was clean, nice and efficient. Upon leaving we ordered some rolls to-go for others who did not want to bare the elements, it was prepped quickly and with grace. Very unassuming for a place seemingly to be attached to an Econo Lodge Motel. Don't be scared off, this place is great !"
