    My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here, and it was an unforgettable experience. We opted for the omakase with sake pairing, and it was absolutely amazing. The staff, especially Jess and Tasha, were incredibly professional yet warm and welcoming. A special shoutout to Chef Chris, who truly made the evening feel extraordinary. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and tasted incredible, showcasing both skill and creativity. This is the perfect spot for a special occasion, and we can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

    Enjoyed my experience! There was a slight lull in service and the busser did spill soy sauce on our table and left a few kitchen items behind, but everyone was very nice. We’re all human, I’d definitely come back.
