Chef Endo loves what he does and it shows. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and capable. Drinks were fresh and clever, and so was the omakase. Great ingredients and excellent preparation speak for themselves. You won’t find any superfluous gold flakes or flavors that overwhelm the fish. What creative flavors though and great preparations of fish we normally would otherwise skip over on an a la carte menu. Everyone absolutely enjoyed the experience and found it one of the best in Austin, especially for the value. We’ll be back for sure!
