    The atmosphere / vibe / ambiance was definitely a 10 out 10. The service was incredible as well. But let’s talk about the sushi itself. While the quality of every fish we had was excellent, I wasn’t too crazy about the fish to rice ratio. IYKYK. I definitely thought the amount / cut of fish could have been a little more generous for the overall price I paid. I also thought it was interesting that they ended the omakase with a nigiri as opposed to a light dessert. But that’s just me. While my friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time, we probably won’t be coming back for a second time.

    I went Christmas Eve for a solo dinner and it was delicious! My waiter was really nice and helped me pick out some great rolls! It was pretty quiet in there, I’m sure due to the holiday. Everyone who was there seemed well taken care of!
