We came for a date, beautiful spot with cozy lighting and a nice view of the streets if you sit beside the window. We had the oysters (amazing) toro maki to start which were both fantastic. Would recommend any of their fish options they are all top notch. Well worth the premium prices I might try their wagyu next time!

Lovely experience at the Downtown SLC location. The staff called to confirm the reservation and asked if we’d like anything additional at the table since we noted a celebration. Quick, efficient service and delicious options!
