Service was good. The nigiri was some of the best I’ve ever had. A good amount of food, didn’t leave too full. Only feedback would be that we did select for the caviar extra at the beginning but there was a mix up and we didn’t get it. It’s also incredibly expensive compared to similar omakases I’ve experienced ($600+ for two). Whilst the nigiri is absolutely amazing, the entire experience is really just nigiri. It would’ve been great to have just one or two dishes of something else.

A one of a kind dining experience that everyone should try! The service is great and personal since there are no more than 10 guests at a time. The menu is excellent and each piece of nigiri is delicious. Flavors match perfect with all of the different types of fish. Even someone who does not like everyday “sushi” would love this! Can’t wait to go back.

We went for the Valentine's weekend setting and it was hands down one of the best curated dining events I have ever been to. The whole staff was really good with explanations and walking people through each offering. If you're worried about it being stuffy or too up tight then let that go. Very chill and down to earth. Everyone had a good time chatting with each other and all the staff as the service was done. If you want a special date night (on any evening) I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Sushi bar has a seasonal fish menu that pairs well with the flavors of the world! This multi-course omakase experience is not for an amateur but is for the lovers of sushi!!! It is set in an intimate 12 guest sushi-bar so it’s quite small and personal. The chefs walk you through each course as it is carefully prepared in front of you. I’ve dined in a few times at the old location & the new one, every time the sushi is TOP TEIR. I love nigiri pieces and the fresh ginger salad served throughout as well. A bit pricey but worth every cent.

The place is very nondescript so you might pass it up. It’s a little white house on the corner. I echo other reviewers with regard to the experience seeming somewhat contrived. Immediately upon entering you are escorted to a very, might I add “very” dark room where we wait with the others for our seating time. They were 10 minutes late seating us which doesn’t seem like a big deal but I’m not impressed with the fact that they request we come 20 minutes early. If you’re going to request us to come that early, I feel we should be seated promptly. The decor/ambiance was sub par. It looked a little tacky. The sushi was delicious. I get that some reviewers mentioned it was overly “dressed” (too much stuff on the fish). But, I liked it. I’m not a purest when it comes to omakase just as long as it tastes good, and it did. Our sushi chef was very knowledgeable. Disappointed that they don’t have a full bar so if you’re looking for cocktails instead of sake or beer, you’re out of luck. The dessert was fabulous. Loved it. Biggest disappointment was at the end when you pay, the machine makes you select a tip percentage. Remember, we’ve already paid 22% gratuity that’s taxed. So, in front of
