This was an amazing expedience and the food was very good. The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of flexibility within the menu. I feel like I should be allowed to sub at least one item when paying five hundred dollars for food… especially when the items are available.

Please keep in mind that this is an Omakase restaurant. And that there are no ala carte menu items. Omakase leaves most of the dining choices to the chef. I had planned on ordering a ten course Omakase meal but found that only the full 18 course Omakase meal was available on weekends.

The food was good, for $200 per person 18 pieces Omakase was not bad. I also order some take out, take out was really expensive. 5 pieces nigiri & 3 small pieces maki was $100.
