    Fantastic experience! The sushi was all fresh and expertly prepared with a combination of both traditional expectations and unique tastes. They've redone the decor and seating and it is now a very relaxed vibe that strikes an excellent balance of being welcoming for almost any type of outing.

    The chefs were amazing and the omakase was delicious! Felt slightly rushed but im sure that is from the influx of bogo coupons. Will definitely be back!

    I’ve been to this location before before they change the menu and the pricing. It was much better before this. You feel like you’re rushing through dinner. There are drinks are very expensive. I was able to purchase a dinner at a promotional rate, but by the time they add the tax and the service charge, it was very expensive for what you get

    The food was really good. The chefs were very nice! We opted for 12 courses and added 2 hand rolls. The food was fresh and tasty. The cocktails were good too. But it was a very rushed experience. We were 2/3 through our dinner before our cocktail arrived. And when the bill arrived we were at $250 with tip and were leaving less than an hour later. The waiter kept mentioning that other people had BoGo deals some how… which also didn’t feel great. Like we don’t have one no but are you offering?
