    Had the $168 omakase option for my friend's birthday dinner and they were so nice and accommodating!! She absolutely loved it! Ambiance: The restaurant itself is such a cute little space! We sat at the bar for the omakase, which I highly recommend you do. Service: Excellent! Our plates were always cleared so quickly and my water was refilled constantly. Food: Super fresh and yummy! They have kizami wasabi, which I love, and the uni was my fave. My friend doesn't eat meat (she's a pescatarian) and they were able to accommodate for her, which I really appreciated. They even put a candle in her dessert! Overall, you should check this place out if you're in the area! I'll definitely be back!

    Fantastic experience. Great food, and no reason to call out any items specifically because they were all fantastic! One of the best Japanese/sushi places for miles around. Expensive but definitely worth it.
