    I think I went into this experience with a much higher expectation of what an Omakase dinner would be like. We sat at the kitchen counter with 6 other couples which was very cramped. The 2 chefs preparing the food were efficient, got the feeling that everyday they served the same Omakase. They didn't really interact that much with the guests which was a shame. There seem to be a lot of upselling going on by the other staff which was slightly annoying. We hadn't even finished our last sushi (weren't informed that was out last one, which would have helped) and they were already finalizing peoples checks. The food was decent & the fish choices ok, but def not out of this world...it wasn't a bad experience just a slightly disappointing one but that might have been due to my expectation being high. Wouldn't go back

    Came here for my son’s 14th birthday celebration- he is a sushivore and has really wanted to go. (Note: Don’t worry, it is not generally a kids’ place, although they are very friendly to kids. It is upscale, trendy, and cute. Luckily, our kids were well-behaved today- they seemed genuinely wowed by the vibe!) The waitstaff and chefs were amazing and super accommodating of our group. The sushi was some of the most delicious, fresh, and nuanced I’d ever had, and watching the preparation was delightful. An amazing experience- highly recommend it!

    Not the best rice (it was mushy) or fish quality. Prob a good beginner omakase but not if you like quality.
