    We took advantage of the weeknight omakase experience it was worth every penny. Absolutely loved the vibe here. We arrived a bit early and were seated in the lounge where the host took our drink orders. Once all of the place settings were arranged, all guests were seated at the same time for a 16-course dinner. Every bite was amazing - even fish that I don't typically consider a favorite were prepared to perfection. All of the staff were warm and friendly, and you can tell that Chef Endo has really poured himself and his love for the craft into every aspect of this experience. We will 100% be back soon.
