This is an average sushi restaurant, at a great location on Castro street in Mountain View. We were hungry and stopped for running sushi.. a la carte dishes from $2 - $4.50. The fish was good, tea was served, prices were fair. Overall a perfectly standard place for sushi, not a reliable stop if you're in the area and craving raw fish.

We stopped at this place while walking through downtown Mountain View on Friday night not because we had not eaten dinner, but because we passed by and I couldn't resist the crave for some bites of sushi floating along in little boats. We entered through this very run down door and didn't have very high expectations for this place.
When you have such low expectations from the start, it is hard to be disappointed, so I was fairly pleased with the food. It was the run of the mill rolls and nigiri, nothing too exotic since the more interesting rolls are always on the a la carte menu. Then I discovered that any of the a la carte nigiris could be ordered at the running sushi bar, so I went for something more exciting - I ordered my first uni sushi. It was a new, interesting flavor profile, a briny ocean taste, yet delicate in texture and mouth feel. I'm glad I tried something new, but this is not necessarily the first place that I would turn to when I crave for sushi.
