This was a great choice for a quiet dinner with some out of town guests. All the food was very good, especially the higher quality sushi-sashimi combination which was excellent - the sushi seemed very fresh. The menu had a good variety of options with interesting choices (such as one of the tempura dishes which combined the vegetables into a sort of patty. Service was very attentive but not push and the prices are quite reasonable.

3rd visit and again, the Chef surprised us with great new dishes. An exceptional omakase experience and it has become our #2 favorite. It is still a little unknown gem on the UES, but it is better than many of the known names in th area: yes, we have frequented them all. In the meantime, BYOB, book a seat at the bar, enjoy the company of the other guests, and let the chef take you on a delicious tasting journey.
