2. Fugakyu

Huge disappointment!
After going to Fugakyu for over 10 years, I told that my last visit was actually last one. Food and service of this place were going downhill for some time. But last 2 dinners we had there were unacceptable! Fish was chopped in ugly chunks, we were served half-frosen uni (waitress told us "it's fresh"). Drink orders were mixed up and we were given a big attitude from both bartender and waitress when we asked to replace them... All this we got for about $250 for 3 people...

10! Never had anything bad here. The wait can be challenging but it is well worth it. I rank it amongst the best for freshness. They compete formidably with New York sushi places, including Nobu, Sushisay, Bond Street. They're only a shade less expensive. Go now.
