    Went here for a Valentines date and it was more than perfect! Great setting for a romantic date and a unique dining experience. Food came out really quick especially for a busy holiday and the servers were kind and educated on their menu! We will be back ASAP

    Omakase experience had some great highs (mackerel, Toro, duck) but also some real misses. The vaunted Wagyu Dumplings just tasted like shredded beef in a wet sack. Was extremely disappointed with them. Service was amazing and the cocktails were phenomenal. Would return but just do the Sashimi tasting.

    This place is one of our family favorites, especially my daughter who celebrated her birthday last night. Great food and ambience. They even surprised her with a sweet treat, in the house. Always a great treat experience dining here.

    Was hoping for a wow factor, but it turned out to be very typical sushi in small portions. The decor was unique and so were rhe, uh, table lamps? Other than that, nothing stood out.

    We came here to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday. I worked here as a pastry chef 25 years ago and hadn’t been back in a long time. It was just as beautiful as ever! The food was fresh and fabulous. We had a great time! Can’t wait to return!
