First visit to Seito Sushi but not our last. Amazing, expertly prepared food with flavors to match. The freshest sashimi we have ever experienced. Honestly tasted as if it had just come out of the ocean. The service from all the staff was welcoming, professional and very patient. Jeremy took care of our table tonight which included my extended family. Not an easy task but Jeremy was courteous, humorous and very attentive. Definitely knows the menu which helped. This experience definitely deserves five stars. If you feel adventurous and enjoy delicate flavors this is for you

Omo was an amazing experience! The tasting menu was exactly what I had hoped for with a parade of various tastes and journeys into cuisine that was both familiar and yet new at the same time. I also added the wine flight and truffle - zero regrets. But the most amazing thing about Omo is the service. I have not in my life, even at some of the finest restaurants around the world, had the service that I had here. Cheers to the team - to the chefs, to the service staff, to the person who called me to check in on my allergy, to everybody who wished me a happy birthday, even with a customized card at the end… I appreciate you.

Loved Sushi Saint omakase experience! Miele and Chef Paik created comfortable and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy delicious Nigiris, a rare instance in the omakase world. I try omakase all around the world, and would rate this place the best for the price. Please keep it affordable and casual. The experience was delightful!
