    Went here for our 10 year anniversary and we were blown away by the entire experience. We did the 17 course omakase and every course was amazing. We will definitely be going back!

    Terrible. Low quality fish that they have only used for Valentine’s Day, no open bar which they didn’t disclose ahead of time, could not order a la carte after which they didn’t disclose, and no hand rolls which they promised

    This was my first omakase and I’m so happy with the experience. We did the 17 course package and it was definitely worth it. The fish was all extremely fresh and delicious. The first 12 are a prefixed menu and everything was very tasty. Chef Mitsu was amazing and gave us some really incredible bites based on our tastes for the last 5 courses. Highly recommend!

    Pretty good, but looking for a bit more flavor on the nigiri. Desserts should be bigger portions or lower price for the cheesecake serving size. Cocktails are New York City priced.

    It was a fun first-time experience. The sushi could be more flavorful. But the sushi chefs were nice. The bartender at the omakase side made really good drinks.
