This place gives me Japanese drama Midnight Diner vibes. Clean, cozy with amazing food and great service. I’ve been here twice with friends and had a great time both visits. Loved the house-made soy sauce and pickled ginger! The chef was so kind, when I mentioned I felt cold after coming in from outside, he offered hot tea right away. Truly felt like 5-star service. We will be back soon :)

Very reasonable prices and great fish to rice ratio! The sets are a good deal. The bluefin toro roll was my favorite -- so smooth! All of the raw fish rolls were fresh and tender. The ikura was quite salty, so I saved some to eat with other rolls, which generally weren't seasoned. Around 6 rolls per person was a filling meal. Compared to Matsunori, Lab 13 has less of a wait and has discounts for sets (individual roll prices are similar). Lab 13 also doesn't have the more elaborate premium rolls that Matsunori has (the botan ebi ikura has my heart). Still, I think it's worth a visit if you're in the area!

Happened on this place walking by. The fish was so fresh and tasted amazing. The service is quick and nice!! Highly recommend can’t wait to go back. Prices are also reasonable. My only complaint is that I was wearing sweatpants I would’ve loved to wear a cute outfit here

Super cute new place. We did the set menu five hand rolls. Every role we had was incredible. My favorite Rohl was the spicy yellowtail hand roll. I also ordered their seaweed salad, and that was excellent. The service was excellent. I’ll definitely be back.

We had a delightful Friday evening here! The service was on-point and very attentive, even with a full house. The hand rolls were the perfect size - we loved each bite and how fresh everything was. Our absolute favorites were the A5 Wagu and toro, but everything was really tasty! The atmosphere was comfortable and intimate, blending serene Japanese aesthetics and with modern touches. It's a lovely spot for a date night and we can't wait to go back!
