Sushi is amazing!!! The sushi rice is moist and soft, and the balance of vinegar in rice is so perfect. Sushi is better than sashimi.

Excellent dinner, service was good. Came for my wife's birthday dinner, which she enjoyed. Presentation of each course was very well done. All the fish was very fresh. Will definitely be back . Thank you for a great evening.

Great Omakase experience that does not require 24hr pre-book. You can just walk in and order Omakase course just like in Japan.Beside the main sushi course. Small side dishes are pretty impressive, for my own experience, this is important part to make the difference between Omakase restaurants.

We choose to sit at the bar to fully experience the omakasa meal. Each piece was meticullously prepared with dashes of complimenting ingredients and ended with a delightful dessert. Highly recommended trying the sesame ice cream. Service was impeccable and price was quite reasonable.

Beautiful restaurant with very friendly staff. The pacing between courses was great - not too fast and no hovering. The food was delicious and well worth it! Would definitely recommend and we will be back

Nothing I can write here can explain this place with any kind of justice. Don't look at the prices. Just try. They have made the omakase experience attainable for most. If just once in your life, you must try. You will gain an appreciation for fish that you never thought was possible. If possible, reserve for a seat at the sushi bar and the chef will hand deliver each piece of carefully made sushi one at a time. Hall staff service was impeccable. They somehow had the ability to read my mind.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. It really feels like you're in a nook in the middle of Japan. Food was fresh and service was very friendly. We took advantage of the Valentine's Day meal and thought every dish was great!

My boyfriend and I went here for my birthday and we ordered the Dinner Sushi Gozen! We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and service as the staff took good care of us.We had counter seats and got to see the chefs at work. At times it was difficult to understand/hear them speak to us and our dishes could've been explained a little better... The food we received was amazing nonetheless.After leaving we reviewed our dinner set and realized that we did not receive the Uni/Ikura sushi that we were so looking forward to. We noticed the other customers received this sushi, so I guess the chef must've forgotten? This being our first omakase experience, it was unfortunate we didn't get to try the Uni.Overall good food and experience, however given the price, we wished there was more care in ensuring we received all the dishes.

Except it's a little pricey, this place offers very fresh sashimi and sushi. Quiet and relaxing ambiance. Service was friendly and attentive. It's worth the experience.

An experience that reminds the beauty in life. Highly recommend dining-in with the Omakase meal in front of the chefs to fully take in the glory and artform that complements each plate. Best sushi I've ever had. Exceptional ingredients, including fresh ground Wasabi. The chefs and staff were all very friendly and polite. Despite how busy they were, they took the time to share interesting details about the plate, and were very attentive. Experience surpasses many Michelin star restaurants. Will be thinking back to this meal likely for years.

Was here for dinner for my birthday and when I came home to look at my pictures we realize we never got the ebi sushi. It's a shame that this happened at such a fancy restaurant. We had ordered the set menu. Other then that the food was delicious and service was great.Update : restaurant did reply that selection may vary but we only got 7 pieces of sushi when it was suppose to be 8 according to the menu.
