    David our chef was pretty awesome and so was our waitress. Unfortunately we had an obnoxious table mate who kept criticizing the chef so that kinda soured the mood a bit but we were there for my son’s birthday and we quickly tried to ignore it. We tried to approach a manager to share how great our experience was but he was rude as can be and left us with a bad experience. I believe his name was Jason but I’m not sure. It might be a bit before we go back but the service was great.

    We saw this restaurant pop up in Open Table as a date night/experience suggestion and we were excited to try a new Omakase location in LA, especially in the valley. We absolutely LOVED the meal. We tried several fish we hadn't eaten before, and preparations of unagi and tilefish that were new to us. Everything is really thoughtfully designed, the chef prepared everything right in front of us and kept us all entertained, and the wait staff was incredibly kind and attentive. This place is really something special - can't wait to come back in the future! Favorites: the tilefish, fried unagi, chawanmushi, wagyu sushi bite, the quail egg/uni bite, and the dessert! (So basically half the menu for the evening)
