Imagine how long the
lines outside this place would be if they actually had to cook the
food! In fact, this place is consistently so busy that they opened
up another space directly across the street--bringing the total seating
capacity to around 20. Despite the crush of UES yupsters, this joint
may actually be worth the wait. While it's certainly no Nobu,
the fish is fresh and buttery, and the variety decent. The night we
were there, we got some nosy neighbors giving us the hairy eyeball
and talking behind their hands about us. After sniffing my underarms
and asking if I had anything on my face, we came to the conclusion
that, looking young, these fifty-somethings decided that we, as apparent
teenagers, probably couldn't afford what came to a somewhat pricey
bill for a neighborhood joint. Of course, after gorging ourselves
on sushi, we defiantly threw down the MasterCard, belched and told
them to go watch another episode of "Matlock." Two hours
later we were hungry again, but the feeling of satisfaction remained.
