    I came here with my husband to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I booked the reservation a few weeks ahead of time and requested a booth. When we arrived we were seated at a small table. The fact that I requested a booth was not acknowledged. I understand it was just 2 of us, but I knew we were going to order a good amount of food and didn’t want to cram it all on the small table. We also sat in a booth when we met 11 years ago so there was an emotional significance to it. I asked our server if we could move to the corner booth or any other booth because of that reason and because I originally requested a booth. The server said the host declined my request because there was a reservation coming in. We sat for nearly two hours for dinner and when we left, there was still an open booth…

    One of the best dining experiences I've had and have not had better sushi. Miso black cod appetizer is excellent. The ambience is incredible.

    Took some out-of-town guests last night they couldn't believe the variety and freshness of the fish. They were mesmerized with some of the chef's creations, the knowledgeable staff, plus the architecture and interior design. Johnny on the second floor was awesome....can't wait to go again next month!

    Amazing service! Lizzy helped us navigate the menu and made recommendations that exceeded expectations. Restaurant can get noisy during peak dining hours. Excellent food quality.

    We were disappointed with the food & service. Coming last night to celebrate our 21st anniversary (Sushi Den catered our wedding) was a disappointment. Our sashimi other items (sashimi & nigiri) were warm not even close to being chilled or cold. The kitchen completely forgot one of our rolls, which when our waiter finally figured out was never served comped that role (kudos to him). Overall our dining experience was so-so.

    We were seated at the high top by the bar. It is very uncomfortable because you can’t put your legs underneath the table. Would be an easy fix to put a new base on that tabletop. The bartenders were our servers and took too long to check in.
