    Good food but bad experience. We got our entree first and appetizer last. Completely out of order. We were never asked if we wanted another drink after our wine glasses were empty for half our meal. It took us over 30min to get someone to pay our bill.

    The foos is ok but when you put egg omelette on a spicy tuna and a salmon avocado roll and you don’t specify that on the menu or when you order it, it’s pretty disappointing.

    The black cod is to die for! The sushi is best I’ve had and that’s saying a lot.

    Rice is made in an insta pot, wasn’t cooked all the way. Sushi is made up of two parts, rice and fish, if rice isn’t good, fish will not be good. They served wasabi that comes in a plastic bag, chef drank during service, and got made at co-worker for talking to us in Spanish. And to top it off we had bone in 2 separate nigiri servings. By far the worst Omakase experience I have ever had.

    This was our first time in the separate downstairs area for the omakase tasting dinner. It was totally outstanding. We had previously dined in the general dining area downstairs, with wonderful food and service. But if you don't mind the higher fixed price for the omakase tasting menu dinner, go for it -- it is worth it. You won't find a better omakase experience anywhere unless maybe in Japan.
