"An evening to forget. We should have known when we received the reservation confirmation and they restaurant clearly stated that if you're late, your reservation will be cancelled and you must still pay. We showed up at the door four minutes early to be told that they "are running behind and have no place for us to wait". No bar or waiting room so we were chased away. No ownership that we're paying customers. We came back at 20 minutes past the reservation time and the restaurant was still not ready. Food was good. During dinner the restaurant ventilation was not good enough so the front door was opened which made the place uncomfortably cold. Also, they did not have enough ipads (being used for menus) so we were asked to share, then the wine we ordered came out with a different vintage. So many cases of "bait and switch". We will not go back."

"Absolutely fantastic food and service. A great culinary experience. That said I've paid less for the same level of experience and penultimate service. Looks up what a bottle of Loveblock wine pinot gris 2020 will run you. I paid $120. Even the highest end of culinary experiences has a value limit and this isn't it. If you have the money to do this on the regular I would recommend it but for a once in a very great while place I could recommend many other places in the valley where 5-600 is better spent for those rare moments."

"If you love sushi (and have an adventurous spirit), hot damn this place rocks! This spot is for sushi lovers. Warning: if you don’t love lots of raw fish, this spot is not for you! Some crazy textures (cured jellyfish). Some wild fish (deep sea line caught only! FRESH. Shockingly fresh. So flavorful. Clearly a master. Best sushi experience I’ve had outside of Japan."

"One of the greatest dining experiences I’ve ever had. Hats off to Chef Shinji and Suzuki. Thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of this curated menu. It seemed like each plate handed to me was just as exciting as the last. Would absolutely recommend to anyone debating on going. Absolutely worth the price for the food and the experience. Also, Kevin was great!"
