You can really tell the freshness of the sashimi with the fish texture and taste. You don’t need wasabi at all. Very friendly staff and nice presentation of food. The eel was really nice, not fishy and have a proper texture; can tell they are not from those frozen vacuum packed one. All the food has been prepared nicely and well seasoned. I will definitely come back again.
