    Went with a party of four. This was our first omakase dinner so none of us knew what to expect. The staff was friendly and courteous as were the chefs. The food blew us away, everything was amazing and very high quality.

    not quite traditional edomae omakase but pretty good fish and presentation. also doesn't require booking two weeks in advance, which is helpful for slightly more spontaneous planning. would eat here again for sure

    I love omakase. It is not a value proposition, but a very fun, special night. Umami Omakase was fun but the four of us agreed the food was "just ok". Many of the dishes had high quality fish but the combinations just didn't taste good.

    The omakase restaurant was an amazing and unique experience. The chef's selection of dishes was incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared, each bite offering a new and delightful flavor. The intimate setting and personalized service made the evening truly special, creating a memorable dining experience that stands out. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance. Watching the chef skillfully prepare each course right in front of us added an element of excitement and appreciation for the artistry involved. The progression of flavors and textures was perfectly balanced, showcasing a harmonious blend of traditional techniques and innovative touches. Every dish told a story, from the delicate sashimi to the rich, flavorful broths. The attention to detail and dedication to quality were evident in every aspect of the meal. It wasn't just dining; it was an immersive culinary journey that left us eagerly anticipating the next visit.

    Absolutely amazing restaurant. The freshest, most delicious fish and sushi one could imagine. Starters if soup and closer with desert makes for a full meal. Each item was small and focused on a specific taste while the whole meal left us feeling filled. Would recommend to anyone.

    Wonderful food. Simply sensational. Each piece of fish is a work of art and the most scrumptious taste imaginable. Gary, the Head Chef, is charming and gracious and the entire staff works hard to make the dining visit memorable.

    What a wonderful evening! The food was absolutely delicious (sometimes we have had less than ideal omakase experiences elsewhere, when the food was almost TOO innovative and actually not that delicious!) and the chef and team were so warm, engaging and pleasant. Our family had a great time. We will definitely go again for special occasions. Highly recommend!!

    Nice place with some great food. Staff was very helpful and explained everything we ate. I have an issue how they calculate the suggested tip. They charge a 6% kitchen fee and then they base the suggested gratuity off the total amount for everything including this fee. It felt a little shady. Just pay people more and build the tips into the price of the dinner.
