  1. I love sushi - if I'm ever in the area I'd definitely go there... just for the all male waiters :P

  2. I fear sushi. Although it's on my bucket list of things to try. You make it sound appetizing.

  3. That's a good price for Chirashi. In my neck of the woods Uni is pretty popular since it's very local. I recommend it if you can get it fresh.
