Portions are small so I would recommend ordering multiple dishes for each person. Food was delicious! My favorite dish was the black cod miso.

Great staff and service. Food was good not great. Rice fell apart on nigiri when picked up with chopsticks. Nigiri was cut very thin, which felt cheap and lacked flavor. Inside was like a burger joint and so brightly lit and western vibe. Outside was nice. If you’re looking for a more authentic looking, feeling, tasting sushi place, this may not be it.
