Delicious rolls. We ordered successively, not all at once. Our waitperson was very accommodating. The Shitake Manhattans were fantastic. Thank you for a most enjoyable meal.

We came in a group of four after a long day of work. I knew nothing about this place, so it was a lucky find. This is my best sushi experience, and I won't stop talking about it for a long time. The delicacy and subtlety of every bite were mindblowing. Everyone in our group was blown away at every course. I dream about the day I visit San Francisco again and can afford to enjoy their fantastic dinner experience again.
