Dropped in for lunch, exceptional sushi and a-la carte menu! The crab was extraordinary on their signature rolls! The food so fresh, perfectly presented and staff friendly and welcoming. The restaurant decor and feel is great - we were spoilt as not busy at all (especially with Mardi Gras on this was bliss)
From the first bite, this experience was exceptional. The menu truly offers something for everyone, and while I didn’t get to partake in the omakase on this visit, every dish I tasted reflected the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. The fish was impeccably prepared and melted in my mouth. Definitely try the scallop crudo and surprisingly the Brussels sprouts! Omg Yummm! Can’t wait to return and get the full experience next time! The rolls and lamb chops looked amazing! The Vietnamese coffee tiramisu was the perfect ending to the meal. Our attentive server expertly guided us in selecting a bottle of sake, White Lotus is highly recommended! Truly, go and experience it for yourself! You won’t regret it. The food is something special, and you can feel the owners passion in every detail.
We had so much fun here. There were five of us and it was an absolutely wonderful way to spend an evening. Much of the success of our outing was nice to Melanie, our server. She was so delightful and helpful and had a great sense of humor. She was very helpful and helping us pick out our food as well as our drinks. Service was extremely prompt. We are all sushi eaters and have had a lot of experience all around the world and feel that this was an exceptional outing for us. The sushi was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is decorated well. I would definitely come back here again when I am in town highly recommend, ask for Melanie.
Tried the omakasi. It was exceptional. Little pricy but that was expected. They have five Japanese beers. Try them in order. The fifth beer has fish flakes in the ingredients.
Let me start by saying the service was excellent. The food was tasty, but the Omakase felt very repetitive and much of the same rather than a diverse tasting that one usually expects for an Omakase. For the price point, the atmosphere is not appropriate. The space feels bare and disjointed, as though it hasn’t fully decided what it wants to be. There are chandeliers paired with rustic wooden tables that don’t quite align, and servers wearing workout attire and sneakers, which further adds to the lack of cohesion. The artwork itself was interesting, but it didn’t match the overall vibe, which unfortunately made it read more like inexpensive prints than intentional design. The absence of music and the very bright lighting made the dinner setting feel unfinished rather than curated. While the
