    The food was incredible. Not a bad bite to be had. We especially loved the Ahi Zen roll and the pork belly yakitori. The cocktail I had was tasty but got watered down pretty quickly. Our server Derek was so helpful and attentive. It was a bit loud but to be expected on a Saturday night out. Overall, a wonderful experience and we will definitely come back!

    We came for a date, beautiful spot with cozy lighting and a nice view of the streets if you sit beside the window. We had the oysters (amazing) toro maki to start which were both fantastic. Would recommend any of their fish options they are all top notch. Well worth the premium prices I might try their wagyu next time!

    The food was good especially the edamame, the ambiance was a bit sterile and felt like it didn't have personality. The menu is too expensive for Salt Lake City and compared to other restaurants in the same category.

    Fantastic food, service, and ambiance! I enjoyed the eclectic Japanese-inspired menu, and the cocktails all had a unique spin on traditional drinks.

    Have been twice now and sushi items are fantastic . Service (Kelly was our server) is equally outstanding: water never got below half, wine glasses were frequently checked, and she was very responsive, but not hovering ... again, most excellent. Would and have recommended to give it a try (it is spendy however, but worth it).
