Super expensive, super delicious. Every thing is served in teeny tiny little bite sized portions so you end up ordered way more stuff than you think you would have to.

5.0 of 5 stars.
The tuna was so fresh it not only melted on my tongue, but it melted a hole in my psychic tongue. Now, THAT's sushi. Said to be the finest sushi place in North America. My two expense-account-fueled...

If you go with my recommendation for the omasake menu, definitely go with a slightly filled stomach, because the portions are small. For $80 or $100 or $120, you can get some unique dishes (7 total ~ quality...

If your idea of sushi is a California roll swimming in soy sauce, as is frequently the case for Americans, then the quality of Matsuhisa will go by you. In fact there are only three other restaurants in all of...
