    We waited at our table for almost 10 minutes, watching as servers walked past us. We also watched one just standing at the back bar for a few minutes. Just standing there. No one said a thing to us. Your servers are rude and lazy. We left and won’t be back.

    Unfortunately, I traveled from out of the area to share my first excellent experience with this place with my husband for our date night and neither of the rolls I raved about were available. This is a seafood town and restaurant depot and Costco are right in the same area. Unacceptable to be out of blue crab!

    the restaurant was a bit too loud for my liking. Would have been a great experience if the noise with the music blasting through the speakers was a bit subdued

    The best service hands down I’ve ever experienced In Jacksonville. The sushi was outstanding and incredibly fresh. We were a party of 9 and the server’s customer service was on point. One of the best restaurant in Jax. You won’t be disappointed

    Excellent food, but be warned, this is more of a tapas type of place. Very small portions, two pieces for some items is 20 dollars. The food is excellent and so are the cocktails! Also, if you're a coffee after dessert kind of person. No coffee! Service was impeccable!

    Outstanding fresh, imaginative, and presented sushi. Excellent variety of rolls, nigiri, and special offerings. Attractive restaurant, a bit loud but manageable. Sat in the front room. The second room is quieter and has the Omekase bar. The outdoor patio was closed but looked nice. Service was efficient and pleasant. Only issue is the very aggressive pricing. This place is VERY expensive ... New York expensive ... but equally good (if not better). Dinner for two with wine was @ $400.

    It's always disappointing when you return to what you thought was the best restaurant in town with a high anticipation and excitement for a special occasion and the reality doesn't deliver or meet up to your expectations....We were blown away on our first visit back in November and was so happy to get a table on Valentines day eve. I get it- usually the expectation is what sets the disappointment. But when the dining experience costs you $200+ for 2 people, I think your expectation also goes up....Upon arrival, a very lukewarm greeting by the hostess, then was told, with no empathy, to just wait until closer to my reservation time (we arrived 15 min earlier). Didn't think much about it, we got sat on time, then was so excited and hungry and ordered 2 crudo, 2 rolls, 2 entrees immediately (3 dishes that we wanted to order were all unavailable, 2 of the rolls, no scallops, and potentially no Sapporo) ....only to get our orders come out in different orders with an unusual long wait time in between. 2 Crudos, then, about 20 min wait, 1 entree, then, 1 roll, then another 20 minutes wait (it felt eternity lol) the 2nd roll, and the 2nd entree came out. We were told that they were 1 man down in the kitchen and that they were swamped. We understand and we really appreciate everyone doing their best to accommodate us through the challenges. But overall our experience was disappointing. They did provide us with a complimentary dessert, which was a nice gesture.
