Awesome time. A great dining experience. Service was on point. Only confusing part of evening was our seating arrangement. We only had outside option. But inside was 50% empty. Makes no sense. We watched another couple leave when they couldn’t sit inside.

Quiet, small, and intimate spot for GREAT sushi and omakase dinner (especially with the optional uni tasting). We’ve been to a good number of places like this in the Bay Area, but this will be a new regular spot for us. Fish was super fresh and simple preparation of the sushi made the taste that much better! Highly recommend you try this place if you like this style of food!
