The only disappointment was the miso soup (except for Liz who was disappointed with everything except the chopsticks). The three of us who ordered the soup found it... well, I wouldn't say bad, but it was different enough from the usual delicious miso flavor we were used to that it turned into a disappointment. I would still consider ordering it again because it's possible it was a fluke that it was bad that day. It's also possible that they make it differently from what we are used to and therefore it didn't get a fair shake. I still think I wouldn't like it but I can't discount the possibility.
After the soup I ordered the Yum Yum roll because the spicy crab (I first typed "crap") and cucumber combination seemed like it would work. It did, and get this: the menu said "spicy" and it was actually spicy (an opinion which was unambiguously seconded by a fellow diner's perspiration attack). Finally, a place that does it right. I am most pleased.
After the Yum Yum I ordered fairly conventional sushi: fatty tuna, crab stick, smelt roe and eel. They were delicious.
And after that we received a dessert platter that we put away quickly and happily. Some items: fried cheesecake, fried bananas (w/ chocolate sauce), green tea ice cream. There were others, maybe they can be identified from 5chw4r7z's photos.
Like I said, great food, great service, cool atmosphere. I would definitely go back.

Hey! Just wanted to thank you again for your Sake-licous hospitality.
I also have to think the miso soup was a fluke. The problem I had was that it tasted more "fishy" than anything else.
But it was great company. Thanks so much for setting it up and inviting me!
ditto to jeff's comments. although i am less forgiving of the miso soup.
thanks again!
Glad you could make it. I don't think any of us had been there before and it's always fun to try a new place with a friendly group. Another notch in the belt, restaurant-wise.
thanks for organizing and please do not hold my penny pinching ways and poor math skills against me. i will show up for any and all future events because i have no life, i mean because this was just so much fun.
I vote for dancing wasabi with a hint of advanced notice for a future get together. ;)
Dancing Wasabi, Aqua and Beluga all have half off nights during the week. Two of the mentioned places have great sushi and I am happy to try Aqua with other sushi lovers.
