   The atmosphere is definitely that of a mall restaurant, lots of kids, busy, almost too much. The food was top notch. We had omakase mix nigiri and sashimi and a few rolls, and everything was super fresh and yummy. Service was pretty good too, although it could have been 5 stars if the place wasn’t that busy.

   Outstanding restaurant lunch menu! We had the Scorpio roll for the main selection. The way the food is presented and the flavors is just incredible here! Ambience can feel a little like a cafeteria at lunch but it was super quick and incredibly good!

   It helped a lot that we went on the Seattle Restaurant week and thus got a nice deal. The food is otherwise pricey but good, wide variety of sushi quite well prepared. The overcharge is usually on the alcohol. Very nice place to dine, overall

   My favorite casual Japanese restaurant in downtown Bellevue. Currently participating Seattle restaurant week and offer four course menu - a good deal.

   Sushi was ok. The restaurant is always packed and super loud you have to yell to even talk to the person you’re with.

    This is a fun place - and overall a good experience. Two top table is tiny so if you order a few maki and nigiri plates, expect it to crowd quickly. For the volume - extremely loud bistro level noise, was difficult to have a conversation across the table, but this is due to all the hard surfaces and higher level of music volume. The music selection was a tad juvenile for my taste, maybe some classic Son, Salsa, etc thrown into the mix would have been good to break up the Pop. Bathrooms were a bit messy, as were the surroundings at seating, but it was also very busy so it’s understandable. Service was very good, Lucy did an exceptional job of staying on top of everything and made solid recommendations and tempered our expectations on how many things to try so as not to overdo it. Food was quite good, but there are certainly many places operating on the same level of sushi quality - so other than the exotic combinations it’s hard to put them on the top. Madrid Moon however was a standout exception on the flavor profile out of the several we tried. Nigiri was clean and enjoyable. Signature cocktails were decent but I felt they tended towards the sweet side - the Manhattan is a good example of this. Overall a good experience and we would return knowing what to expect is probably helpful going in, but I didn’t want to color the experience by poring over reviews.
