    Went here for my anniversary dinner with my wife. The food was great! We ordered the Korean Cauliflower, Duck Confit Buns, and Gyoza for an appetizer. The duck was the standout, but it was all excellent. After that, we ordered quite a bit of nigiri, some sashimi and rolls, and (for my wife) the sea bass. My wife loved the sea bass and devoured it and the sauce that came with it. I was pleased with the nigiri and enjoyed the Loch Ness roll, but I wasn't a huge fan of the lobster roll (too sweet). The big standouts to me were the sashimi, which was some really tasty Tuna Tataki and my favorite dish of the night, the Hamachi spoons. We wrapped up with some dessert and were pleased that the cost of this feast wasn't outrageous -- we got out of there for around $230 + tip. Considering the large amount of tasty food we indulged in, that price was right on the money for me. I would happily go again and would recommend them!

    Exceeded my expectations! Fish was fresh with thick pieces, the color changing vodka drink was so refreshing! Love how good we were treated and there was no hesitation to giving my babies cucumber slices. Love that they had fresh and pickled wasabi, that scaled my ranking past 10 for sure. Def coming back!

    Our dinner was very good but our server "T" was outstanding. She had the right amount of checking in and giving time. Her attitude and personality was infectious. The food was good but the service will bring us back and hope to have T again.
