    We had a wait for the food, every starter we ordered came at different times like every 10-15min and same with the entrees, would've been better if it came out at same time. But overall the food is great and drinks as well, ambiance is nice and very cute for pics. Thank you!

    One of the best sushi restaurants in Manhattan. Freshest fish, delicious cocktails and great service. The food displays are a spectacle you can't miss. I came for dinner, but I will definitely be back for their brunch!
