Very ambient and cozy, sushi was very authentic, however very few sushi roll choices and no spicy mayo was the only downer. Which makes sense if it’s authentic. Overall a good experience.

If you’re a fan of great food and exceptional seafood dishes, this restaurant is a must-visit. Their signature shrimp has consistently impressed me—it’s always perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. It’s clear why this dish is their standout. For an extra treat, I highly recommend ordering the uni wrap. It’s the perfect finishing touch to conclude your tempura dishes. The blend of fresh, creamy uni with the delicate wrap creates an unforgettable bite that will leave you wanting more. The combination of high-quality ingredients, skillful preparation, and thoughtful presentation makes dining here a truly enjoyable experience. Don’t miss out!

The food was outstanding and the service was even better. There's definitely a bit of a learning curve on your first visit but the staff is expert and very kind about teaching the essentials. We were there for my wife's birthday and they were terrific, the right blend of acknowledging and not going overboard. Everything was top notch but the clam soup was amazing, our 6-year old had two bowls all by himself
