    Overall - it was alright. sashimi was fresh and the sushi was somewhat authentic. However, it is deafening inside and waiters have a hard time paying attention to you. And for the price I paid, I think I can find a restaurant that is more authentic and of better quality. The sushi rice was clearly machine-made and it just didn't have the extra mile I expect from mid to high price range restaurants.

    We were there for a friends birthday lunch. The service was great, I believe the person looking after us was Kara. Really friendly, helpful.food was amazing, as was the wine choice. I was a little worried at first that we would be in the wine cellar. Was not sure if it would be too small, but it was actually really nice. We have been there before and definitely go back.
