    While our reservation was at 6:30, we arrived slightly earlier and they already had our table ready along with our server saying to feel free and order off the Happy Hour menu (which was available on a Saturday evening too, what a world). We ordered the tuna crispy rice, roll of the day, sashimi of the day and an omakase set. The food and service was great and we even got a dessert for our birthdays even though we didn’t specifically list it in our reservation (guess it went by our OpenTable profile.) I understand the praise my friends have given this place as their sushi place of choice and will definitely be returning in the future.
