The freshest fish and spot on service. The room is relaxed, friendly and the noise level is low so easy to have a conversation. Everything was delicious, but highlights were the hamachi, toro, unagi, and mochi cake. Superb dining experience and they have parking now!

One of Seattle’s hidden gems. Absolutely top of the line fine dining. Parking is the only issue, but it’s well worth having to walk a few blocks.

The food was both interesting and delicious. (How's that for a combination?) Our server was excellent. She was appropriately attentive without being overbearing. It was just a great experience.
