    I am pretty snub when it comes to sushi, I have been to the best sushi places all around the world, including Jiro. I found this place by at yelp when I am searching for something else, oh boy am I happy. It is new and offered omakase at reasonable price for the value. There were 8 people at 5:30PM setting and everything was just perfect. All the staffs were very attentive and Chef Jay was great, he explained every dish and I can feel his heart and soul into the dishes. It's a experience you will never forget. I went with my teenager son who stayed there with me without complaints- he usually doesn't like to go out and he even appreciated the quality and taste the restaurant offered. I am definitely going back!

    Our cook Hunter was super chill and fun. He made the experience great. Had to wait about 30 mins after my reservation time which was a bummer but i guess since they were busy it’s normal.
