I actually had a bad experience there last week (even though everything else was as good as usual, I felt that the hirame sucked, which is not good because it's in season), but I'm sure I'll be back there within a week (during the interim, it's far easier for me to justify the less-healthy options that comprise the rest of my lunch regimen).

Regarding Beijing sushi in general, I honestly think that the top end is better than almost anything you'll find in the US.... maybe not as creative, but fresher and more interesting fish.

My Blue Castle place doesn't qualify as "top end" by any means, but they still manage to get their product from that market in Tokyo that begins with a T 3x per week, and its lunch prices are really cheap (as cheap as the belt sushi place across the street in the Mitsukoshi). So, bad hirame or not, I'm still a supporter.

When you return from your trip, we'll have to try Yotosuba.
