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.

Well it started a little rocky but only bc I didn’t realize until the last moment it was a sushi joint and I don’t do raw. Whoops. I contacted them to try to back out but with the $85 per person guarantee we were stuck. They promised to accommodate and said there were plenty of options for folks like me. When we arrived they placed us downstairs and I thought it might be a punishment but it was much more lively downstairs. You want to be there. The menu really does have a lot of options. We had edamame, pork goyza, and I had the shrimp chili. Lots of yummy veggies. The bread that comes w was amazing too. My sushi snob boyfriend had sashimi and he asked what was best and fresh and wasn’t disappointed! A couple great cocktails and the dinner was really good. The staff there are pros. The best part - they acknowledged the rocky start and brought us a Macha tiramasu to enjoy. What a great experience. Great restaurant. Good people. I’d go back and you should def put it on the list when you’re there.
