    Had sushi that rivals the best I’ve had in Korea and Tokyo. Every bite was incredibly fresh and expertly crafted. The flavors, quality, and attention to detail is 10/10. I’m still thinking about this place.. an absolute must visit!!

    3 stars is because it was nothing exceptional. The rolls were not bad either, food was just ok. In my opinion, it's not great value ($) to what was served. Service was great, watching the chef get it ready was cool and great beer selection. Unfortunately, it's not a place I would go back to.
