We ordered the premium hand roll sets and added on the spicy tuna & A5 waygy a la carte hand rolls. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The salmon, scallop, ans hamachi were my favorites. Our waiter was so sweet and surprised us with mochi for dessert at the end! Absolutely wonderful dinner and will be back.

Great experience, food was excellent, service was good, noise level is a bit too much, had to yell to hear each other. But otherwise we loved the experience. Our fav dish- the tartare, followed by the truffle mushroom pasta, the waygu flight of three, and the hit me chocolate cake, in that order. Would go back again.
