"This is my first time writing a restaurant review. We visited on a Saturday evening and, despite the restaurant being quite busy, the service was satisfactory. We started with the shiitake mushroom soup, which was excellent. My partner ordered the grilled lobster tail with sea urchin, which was delightful, and we both tried different combination sushi roll platters. While the sushi was beautifully presented, we found that the excessive variety of ingredients often overwhelmed the flavors, particularly in the rolls that included mayonnaise. The only thing that elevated the experience was the soy sauce. We felt we would have preferred more traditional sushi instead. I ordered the vegetable tempura, but it was disappointing. Tempura should have a light, crispy coating, but the portion was large and the batter was thick and paste-like. It seemed either it hadn't been fried long enough or had been pre-prepared and stored in the walk-in fridge until needed. Additionally, miso soup is usually served automatically with the meal in most Japanese restaurants we've visited, but that was not the case here; everything was à la carte. The photos in the menu suggest you will have a memorable dining experience, but, unfortunately, that was not our case."

We were disappointed to find that they did not allow my medical alert service dog, so we decided to leave. I've heard great things about the place, which made this experience even more frustrating. Service: Dine-in | Meal type: Dinner. View menu

We went on a rainy monsoon dinner ️ we had great vegan options too here. The host was so warm. We went here for pickup but the host convinced us to dine in and it was a choice well made. Vegetarian options: Mushroom Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $1–10

The sushi here is delicious, and the menu is extensive! The cocktails and desserts are fantastic as well. There's rarely a wait, making it a bit of a hidden gem! I absolutely love this place and its overall atmosphere—it's very clean and minimalistic. This has become our go-to spot for sushi!

Excellent! Nigiri, sashimi and sushi was soooo good. Beautiful presentation. Loved the pork ravioli as an appetizer. The service is spot on, and, they’re very particular. The placement of everything on your table is important to them. I love that because I’m an organizational nerd. Wheelchair accessibility: They literally have an enclosed lift at the front door.

I’m so glad I finally visited this restaurant; I really enjoyed my experience. I found out that it’s owned by the same people behind Douzo and Basho. The only reason I discovered it was because the chopsticks had Douzo covers. I loved the chef’s special, as well as the uni, edamame, gyoza, and the pistachio chocolate gelato—delicious! I would definitely come back and I had a wonderful time.

The service was decent, but I’m giving this place one star for charging high-end restaurant prices for food that tastes more like it came from a food court. They presented the bill face up, like a casual eatery, processed my card at the table, and made me tip on the screen while the server held it. I would definitely steer clear of the ramen and sushi. The waitress claimed the ramen was made with tonkatsu broth, but it was really a very Americanized shoyu with overcooked noodles. The roll I ordered was supposed to be tasty, but it just tasted like cream cheese, which I hadn’t even ordered.
