I took my best friend here for her birthday, never been to this location, but she loves sushi! When googling sushi places I landed with this place because of the pictures how the atmosphere looked, and boy did i choose right! Our waiter, Eric, was amazing!! He was able to help us figure out the menu, got our orders right, had great conversations, info about the meals, and overall best! For my bestie they even did a cute card with the staffs signatures, the cutest! Totally recommend you reserve ahead of time but place is great for happy hour and specially occasion dinners!
Amazing customer service & food. The atmosphere is very sophisticated and restaurant is clean. Asked right away about any dietary restrictions and provided lemon/cucumber for waters. Sarah was our waitress and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and friendly! I highly recommend the white spider roll. Will definitely come again!!!
Food was okay overall. We ordered the octopus and the o-toro spoon for the appetizers — both were fine. Sushi was okay, nothing bad but nothing that really stood out. One thing that was surprising is the sushi didn’t come with ginger or wasabi, which feels pretty standard for a sushi restaurant. The wait for sushi was quite long, but they did bring out a complimentary appetizer while we were waiting, which we appreciated. Nice gesture, though the long wait definitely affected the experience. Overall, it was decent, just not memorable.
Phenomenal experience! The food, especially the sushi, was absolutely fantastic. Their unique combinations provided a depth of flavor and unforgettable experience. Our waitress Emma absolutely made the night for us: she was kind, attentive, funny, and provided an insightful opinion of the food and drink menus. 100% will come back again!
Incredible experience. My girlfriend and I were walking by this Restaraunt a couple weekends before and were absolutely mesmerized. The ambience of orange lighting mixed with the wooden architecture looked beautiful. When making the reservation, we had a counter top option only, and while we thought it would not be as good as table experience; we had the same (potentially more) attention from the waitress who was both friendly and informative. Not only that but we were able to sit right next to each other which arguably is more an intimate setting perfect for date night. Our waitress was very understanding of our allergies and checked multiple times with us and the chefs about them. We ordered for starters the edemame with pink Himalayan salt and truffle oil along with the O-Ku Rock Sh
