    Fantastic experience! Daniel the host took great care of us when we ended up coming late from North Shore. Garret, our server was very attentive, and even grabbed us our parking validation when he gave us our check. Great service and even better food! The miso on the salmon is out of this world! Maybe a little too much kale with the ahi haha! Overall fantastic experience!

    Had the Spring special which was such an amazing deal! Sashimi was so fresh. The clam miso soup was the bomb! The chirashi sushi was the bestest, the layer of shredded shiso enhanced the flavor of the sashimi soup well. My friend and I loved it! And service was just awesome! Kudos to the staff and chefs!
