    Used to be my favorite place. The fish was super off today and the service was terrible. Workers were clearly frustrated. Do not offer 2:30 reservation if you don’t want people seated at the time.

    Food is fabulous here! Fish is always very fresh. The restaurant really needs a refreshing, but it's a tough reservation to get because it's a small space. Looking forward to their new place opening!

    Way less rice on the sushi now for some reason. Also, half of my eel was missing (it was just the skin) and some of the avocado rolls were also missing half of the avocado inside. Just felt like everything was thrown together in a rush.
