Such a delicious restaurant. The cocktails were top notch too. We had a near miss with a sesame seed allergy and the management handled it appropriately. We could have done without the servers jokes on choking though. Will definitely return.

Amazing food, all the fish tasted fresh and seasoned with just the right amount of sauce. Highlight of the night was the wagyu short ribs 🫶🏻 - it was so tender and juicy! I would come back again!

A new staple in the Arts District. This place has the best Handrolls I’ve had by far (they were ALL incredible) and to compliment them, their Yakitori are phenomenal. I’ve been here 3 times now. They have validated parking on E 3rd Street as well as street parking and paid parking right in front of the restaurant. Service is amazing. Very attentive and nice staff. WOULD DEFINITELY COME BACK AGAIN! Don’t forget to try the cocktails/drinks!

Had many hand rolls with the scallops and uni being my favorites. Lobster dashi pasta was spectacular along with the spicy tuna crispy rice. Everything was very good!
