``Small but very good. All you can eat night every Tuesday, base price about $22-23. There are 5 pre-determined plates of decent mix of nigiri and maki (but always a piece of tuna and a salmon), you must finish each plate to get the next. If you manage to finish the fifth you can order almost anything else you want. Price includes misoshiro and salad, plus tempura and kakiage, if desired. You don't have to have anything but sushi if you wish. ''

``In my opinion, currently the best sushi in Pittsburgh. Fish is very fresh, portions are usually quite large (although occasionally they are "normal" sized). Selection is almost always pretty wide and sometimes a bit unique - off and on they've offered a BBQ beef maki that is quite whacky but tasty. As they are also a Korean restaurant (the Korean food is highly recommended, too), the spicy rolls are often spiked with Korean hot powder, which will fry your brain if you're not careful.''
