    Strongly recommended! The food is fresh and delicious. We sampled every type of sushi. The server was decent, though it seemed like she didn't put in much effort, possibly because we were a group of six and the gratuity was already included.

    Fantastic omakase! Chef May May is the perfect guide for an eye opening meal. Each beautifully plated dish was prepared in front of us, all with thorough explanations. The fish was incredible as were the complimentary dishes. The sake pairing offered a range of sakes, paired precisely with the food being served. The space is intimate and laid back. We will absolutely be back, both for weeknight small bites and for bigger celebrations.
