    We were looking for some good sushi and we found it here. Amazing food and Justin was the best server we’ve had in a long time. The area the restaurant is in is also really cool.

    From the moment we walked in, both the host and bartender greeted us with a smile. We were celebrating a late Mother’s Day dinner and they had set up the table with flowers and a prosecco toast for my mom and it was a beautiful gesture. The food was amazing. The sous chef sent a delicious fried sea bass small bite to be shared and it was amazing ! Juju, our server was absolutely amazing, friendly, kind and outstanding. We are so glad we chose to celebrate here. The manager, Max stopped by our table and greeted and checked in on us. Thank you so much to the team for making an unforgettable experience. Will def be back.
