What stands out the most is the service. Our waiter Rashad W. was the best. So attentive and knowledgeable about the drinks and food. We ordered several of his suggestions and we were not disappointed.

The sushi melts in your mouth and the drinks are fantastic. Love it there but wish the tables weren’t so close together. It’s very hard to squeeze through to your seat and it invades your neighbors space.

Celebrated a graduation here and had a great time. Were seated promptly, had excellent service, enjoyed the lively atmosphere. Food was tasty and beautifully presented. Management came by and brought dessert for the table on the house for the graduate, very thoughtful and appreciated. Made the meal that much more special. Would go again.

The service and vibe was on point as usual! I was greeted and checked up on by the manager who’s always very friendly and welcoming. My server was very knowledgeable of the menu items and gave me valuable advice on some entrees and cocktails. This is one of my top 5 sushi spots in LA for sure.

The food is amazing! Especially the seaweed salad, the matcha cocktail, the salmon tartar.. absolutely crave worthy! That said, our waitress forgot to bring my friend her cocktail, we waited a long time to cheers to my birthday as a result and then, even knowing it was my birthday kept asking if we were done or wanted to order a desert multiple times instead of just letting us enjoy our conversation or being thoughtful and bringing something as a nod to my birthday and the fact that we waited 20 minutes for the other cocktail to arrive (she probably forgot to order the second one…, it was that delayed). All in all I’d come back but I hope I don’t have that same waitress again. She wasn’t very thoughtful.
