Imaginative bites, that are quite substantial. This is one of our favorite restaurants for the thoughtful treatment of ingredients. Service is attentive but not intrusive and can answer any questions regarding the dishes and preparations.

Food was excellent. Every dish we had was better than the last. The appetizers we tried were the tuna crudo, shisitos, mushroom dip, tuna dip, salmon and furikake fries. They were all delicious. The fries were a unique idea and a favorite. The Temaki were unique, delicious, and beautiful. We tried so many of them and I would Order them all again. Faves though were the Tuna, the yellowtail with scallion, the lobster, the fried oyster and the Triple which is a huge splurge. We will Definitely be back!

We chose the bar but didn’t like the small space for a birthday dinner. Yes they give it fresh like Omakase style but didn’t really make any difference to us. The absolutely wonderful thing was that they accommodated us to a bigger table much more comfy and beautiful view. Everything else is thumbs up! Best appetizer was the tempura! And the we liked the signature style as well. Definitely recommend and will come back.
