If you're looking for an authentic sushi experience this is the place for you. We've dined here many times but this was our first time at the Chefs table for Omakase. I have had sushi at a lot of places and this was by far one of the best Omakase experiences I have ever had.

Excellent food, excellent service, varied choices on the menu from sushi to fish entrees to many other types of entrees. John Howie has got a winner here, and its location away from Bellevue Square means they have to meet the demands of those who aren’t in town to just shop. And, they do that with ease. Well done, guys!
