We had such a wonderful time! The service was phenomenal, and the food/meat was cooked to perfection. A little on the pricier side but worth it.

The food was all flawlessly executed. The best Omakase experience I’ve ever had, and that’s not even factoring in the incredible value they offer for the experience.

Good food and knowledgeable staff. I have been there a couple of times and always had a good experience. This time around four of us shared a lot of small plates. Keeping everyone’s dietary needs of no meat, or no gluten, or no shell fish, we were still able to get a good array of small plates to feel satisfied and full. I have had the main entrees too and they are equally delicious. The desserts offered were delicious too.
