Editorial Review for Cube 63 – by Dana Bowen
The Scene
Clinton Street was woefully sushi-deprived until this mod, chartreuse storefront came along. The brightly backlit four-stool counter, manned by some of the cities trendiest sushi cooks, is perpetually packed. Diners sans reservations squeeze into the narrow dining room's steel chairs and banquettes. Service is almost too attentive for the casual scene.
The Food
The cheap-chic menu is a notch above most neighborhood sushi joints. There are the usual suspects--sinus-clearing wasabi shumai, big bowls of chewy soba in fragrant fish stock--as well as surprising starters, which range from simply great, thimble-sized molds of steamed spinach with peanut-sesame sauce to simply fun fried shrimp cocktail with melon balls in a sundae glass. The $20 sushi and sashimi combos are a steal and arrive with thoughtful touches, such as lime slivers tucked beside mackerel to cut its inherent fishiness. Whimsical rolls, like the spicy tuna "Bahama Mama" with avocado and crunchy peppers, are satisfying but small.

I was looking for to this place. The service was inattentive and actually downright rude. The sushi was average at best but not bad. The space is cool and the neighborhood great. We were asked to leave immediately upon paying the check, which was very disturbing. There are plenty of other places to grab great sushi with good service and not be rushed. Go to those.

Mmmm tasty! Good priced, good tasting sushi. Like most people have said, their sashimi plate is good. I really like their noodle dishes; the peanut noodles are good and theres a few spicy seafood ones, but I dont remember which one i like better. Of the other dishes I've tried most of them were tasty.
Pros: Sashimi
