This is a Gem in Studio City. Service was outstanding led by Nick and his team. Food quality was excellent and everything that was recommended was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other menu items but I am more excited to go and enjoy the relaxing patio next to the fireplace.

Neighborhood gem for more than sushi lovers. For non sushi eaters, try the “pasta” dishes made with udon noodles. Melt in your mouth with fabulous flavor. Add the rib eye for the table and you have a steak house feast. But don’t forget the soft shell crab salad and the special sushi rolls for the rest of us.

It was a welcome surprise, I’ve heard about this restaurant since it opened, but never made it there..It is fabulous. The sushi is creative and delicious, the sashimi fresh with great combination of toppings, and the spinach salad, surprisingly, something else to come back for. Our server, I believe his name is Chris, was amazing, attentive and fun. The atmosphere is fun and they have different rooms with different noise levels, to me that’s important. I only have great things to say about this place. I will be going back!
