Shibuya Eatery

"The black ship cocktail was one of the best drinks I've ever had. The cured chicken thigh was really tasty. I forgot to hold the fish eggs on our sushi because of an allergy and they were happy to redo the order. I love the anime and Japanese movie posters on the wall, and no music was playing so it was a nice quiet dinner. The sushi was okay, but I want to try the hot pot selections because the chicken was so good. But seriously I'm dreaming about the black ship cocktail."

"Gave it a try despite the ratings. Mistake! If you do go do not order the Dan Dan — I love spicy but the spicy level destroys everything (I even removed an additional gob of chili). I don’t get how they think this is serviceable. Reduce the spice by 90-95% to improve. Sushi and the mushroom dish were average ish I guess. Service was good. Nice ambience down stairs. Overall overpriced. This would maybe be 3 star simply by removing their worse dishes."

"Very mediocre. Sushi rolls have too much rice and the mushrooms were ok, but not “exotic”. The worst thing was the dan dan noodles which was way too spicy and lacked the classic dan dan flavours (or just any flavour, besides spice)."

"Really solid spot overall. Excellent cocktails (the Spanish Magic was perfectly balanced), finger-licking good skewers (sampled both the chicken thighs and the pork and they were dusted perfectly with the rub), tender and well grilled and seasoned eggplant, and competent sashimi. I would say the sashimi was the only thing that could use some improvement, it just wasn't as fresh as what you would expect for a $52 12-piece. I think you're better off getting a few small plates and a couple of maki rolls here. We dined in the cozy and dimly basement at the sushi bar. It's got a cool feel to it though others might find it a bit too cramped. Service was wonderful, our hostess was very friendly and helpful throughout the night."

"Oct 2021 More of a 2.5 stars. Good food, friendly service, but very disappointing portion size. This place is a multi-floor building, with the bar upstairs and the sushi in the tiny basement. They have a wooden structure set up on the sidewalk where you can order and pickup drinks and food. The street parking in front is currently blocked off to allow for outdoor dining. We mainly came because we were interested in the Temarizushi box set. The presentation was very pretty and the fish quality was good. But these decorated rice ball sushi are very small. One is about the same size as two nigiri and the fish are sliced VERY thinly. Definitely NOT worth $44. The staff were friendly and all wore masks. I did have to wait a few minutes for my order since they didn't have it ready on time. Most likely won't come again."
