``Remodeled in late October 2003, Crazyfish's modern, blue and pink pastel interior houses a busy and very popular sushi bar and restaurant, with very reasonable prices considering the Beverly Hills adjacency. The ergonomically comfortable, granite-topped sushi bar is inhabited by three sushi chefs, serving up good portions of quite fresh sushi, freshness in the B+ to A- range on the occasion we visited. During busy periods the atmosphere can be very noisy, even with seemingly small crowds. Doesn't rate real high on atmosphere! Small dining areas are not exactly deluxe on the comfort scale.

``Tea is served in a personal pot, so you can guzzle all you like, yamamotoyama tea bags not exactly a high end tea experience, but not harsh either. Tea 4 on a scale of 10.

``Albacore and oyster tend to be smothered in a ponzu froth. Uni was pretty good, but excessively orange in color - almost like food coloring? I don't believe it. Rolls are a popular specialty, and make up the larger portion of the menu, in the $5-$12 range.

``Crazyfish is in an absolutely upscale location, and they lack competition. Superb food, so-so atmosphere, high turnover, and always people waiting outside during busy periods. ''
