Weekly sushi at Live
Big and Small are lazy during the week and like having a good standby place to eat.
And, of course, Small is a big fan of conserving calories.
Live Sushi Bar has become our regular Thursday night dinner. So much so that we confuse them when we come in some other night during the week.
Since this is quick bites, we’ll give you a list of why we love Live.
- They greet us when we arrive. They even gave us our own chopsticks (that they store with our names written on the chopsticks boxes).
- They have live uni. This is by far the best uni we’ve had in the bay area. Add to the awe-factor it induces in spectators at the sushi bar. Yes, they serve it on its shell. And yes, you can poke the quills and it’s still moving. Yes, it’s very cool (and a bit sadistic).
- The sushi is always fresh. They don’t necessarily have the uber intriguing selection you might find at Sakae, but they do have great takes on the standbys. Usually a few types of toro. The aji is always amazing here and the live scallops always impress our friends.
- It’s easy parking and usually easy to get a seat. But they’re on Open Table so you can plan in advance!
Overall thumbs: always up.
Tastiness rating: consistently good.
Service rating: Good. Service is warm and friendly.
