Izakaya Sushi Ran

The restaurant is cute and not too loud. Service was also pretty good and attentive. The waitress had good recommendations on the menu and we ate pretty quickly.The king salmon is very good. Great quality and fresh. The pork belly was well cooked and had a nice sauce to go with it but I would have liked some crispiness on the top as the texture was a bit boring and, considering the amount of fat in it, it could have been better. Their tofu is really good. Very interesting combination of flavors.The purple yam desert needed more ice cream... the yam alone is too dry. The ice cream and the kinako on top were very good.

Good atmosphere with their jazz music. Open air decor with a very cool shelving unit on the wall. You can sit at the bar or at a table. but everything is very closely placed together. There is one bathroom (unisex) but fairly clean. We were seated right away. The tables aren't big enough for more than two people to sit comfortably. It's the type of place that you wave to the waiter to order. The food comes out quickly.They have lunch specials from 11-3p and happy hour from 3ish-7 which means 30% off your total bill. We got four rolls - two specialty and two regular- and three iced teas for $40. Pretty good quality for the sushi we received. Really can't beat that price around here!
