Food was excellent. Every dish we had was better than the last. The appetizers we tried were the tuna crudo, shisitos, mushroom dip, tuna dip, salmon and furikake fries. They were all delicious. The fries were a unique idea and a favorite. The Temaki were unique, delicious, and beautiful. We tried so many of them and I would Order them all again. Faves though were the Tuna, the yellowtail with scallion, the lobster, the fried oyster and the Triple which is a huge splurge. We will Definitely be back!

Great service, I didn’t like one dish, I am not a big sashimi eater, but I did not complain, they asked me about it, I said it was fine, just not my cup of tea; without asking they took it off my bill. I left a thank you note and extra tip. I would recommend this wonderful little place to everyone. They simply care about the customer’s happiness; not an easy thing to find these days. I would go back in a heartbeat.

It was an overall excellent experience! The noise and chatter was a bit much at times, but the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Our server was very attentive, polite and professional. The valet parking was fairly seamless, and they have it set up to where the server can have valet bring your car around front when you're getting the check and about ready to go; which was convenient. I'll definitely come back in the future.
