    Soon as we walked in Alex was pleasant and so helpful with the menu selection. Great personality and made our dining experience even more enjoyable for our first time. The food was so fresh and delicious! The ginger crème brûlée was the perfect ending to our dinner! Definitely will be going back to try the Omakase next!

    Steak was excellent, sliced in bite sized morsels tableside (I was wondering why no knife was provided!) and easily fed 2 people in addition to 2 small plates (which are indeed small). Too bad there is no accessible entrance - I won't come back because of how difficult the stairs into the dining room are.

    Literally, there was nothing on the menu that we tried. That wasn’t absolutely incredible. This place lives up to the hype and more people should know about it!

    I’ve been here twice now, and plan on coming back again! The sushi is so fresh and beautifully presented. My favorites have been the chefs choice sushi platter and the chirashi bowl.

    The first time we went there it was phenomenal! Services was attentive and entertaining. The second time we were really disappointed. I made a reservation so there was no wait. But apparently they lost our ticket so we had to wait over an hour for a food. That’s understandable, especially because it was Valentine’s Day. But the waiter never even came to check on us. Thank god there was another waitress in our section who was amazing.
