Hinari Sushi
“I'm pregnant so I couldn't taste their raw sushi, but their cooked rolls are delicious too and best of all, decently priced.”
“Sushi was great too, the woman even cut the tails off my shrimp tempura roll as per request.”
“I like Hinari and Kyoto 2 better then Sakura in Millburn, which is also very solid, but overpriced due to location and just not up to the standard of these other two.”

I really hate giving this place only two stars but based on service and food, that's about it. The Korean couple that own this place are sweet and mean well but this place is not run well.
1. The husband does all the sushi prep and the wife does everything else; cooks, serves, cleans, does the dishes, buses tables. This is not sustainable, though he have been doing it for 3 years.
2. Because of the above, we waited forever for our food, even had to get our own menus. We had to ask for a cork screw 3 times because she kept forgetting because she was waiting on too many tables.
3. I've never seen a restaurant that actually turned away business. Soon after we came in a family of four came in and there were no tables to accommodate them. There's only 5 tables in the whole place and only 3 hold four, the others two. The sushi bar sits 3, the other side of the bar is walled up, it was weird.
If I weren't there with my family, I would have just helped out and waited on tables. My heart broke when I saw this. Folks were waiting to pay, others wanted take out and tables wanted water, menus, etc. And this poor woman is doing it all. I wanted to give them some advice about service, hiring someone to help, updating the decor, etc. Maybe I'll go back and offer some help, I want them to succeed.
But let's get to the food. I ordered bulgoki rice, which is seasoned shaved beef over rice and leafy greens. The meat was seasoned well but to pay $13 for a bowl of rice, a few bits of lettuce and a tiny serving of meat is not worth it. The unagi tasted old, not necessary bad, just old. Like it's been sitting around too long after it was cooked. The other sushi dishes were just okay.
Of all the hole in wall places I've been to, this one is definitely the easiest to make better. Since they've been here 3 years, people seem to support it despite the service and it's the only Korean place around here. I think I'll go back this week and offer some advice and help. But I have a feeling these guys are pretty much set in their ways and if it ain't broke,……….
