"The chef takes you on a journey through amazing and uncommon japanese cuisine, taking time and care to explain the different ingredients, how he sources them responsibly, and showing off the care and skill in their preparation. A wonderful experience and worth returning to every few months to see what has changed."

"We had the most incredible meal here! Everything was fantastic: the beautiful interior, friendly service, phenomenal courses, and knowledgeable chefs. We appreciated learning about each course (22 total!), where the fish and beef were sources from, and what made each dish special and unique. It's clear the owners and staff are passionate about what they do and providing the best experience possible for their customers - even noticed that we were left handed and subsequently changing the positioning of how they plated our food. So many small details that really enhanced the experience. We don't usually treat ourselves to such nice meals but this was well worth it! Seems like we got even more than we paid for. They also called us ahead of time to plan a dairy-free substitute dessert. Can't wait to be back and bring our friends and family along. Amazing experience!"

"Awesome omakase experience. The chef was very welcoming and explained a lot about his style for food. We got to hear where they sourced their ingredients and they were open to sharing their recipes too! The food was amazing, I'll say the first half wowed me more than the second half, but they were still good. The amount of effort they put into creating the menu is apparent and we definitely want to come back!"

"The MOST amazing sushi experience I have ever had. A reservation is a must - the restaurant is very cozy. We dined at the sushi bar and chef was very personable, hospitable, and generous. The entire meal was carefully thought out - from the dishes and glasses to the first courses and then the main meal. Toro was the special and it melted in my mouth. This was an incomparable meal. I can't wait to go back for another special occasion!"
