   The evening started well. Sushi was very good, good value. Music was good at a good volume. All of the sudden, music volume was elevated to an uncomfortable level. I asked that it be turned down, as we could not even hear each other across a small table. Then we could hear several drunken customers. I suspect that the music had been turned up to cover that noise, rather than asking that they leave, or calling for police assistance, if needed. We will try it again, in deference to the food and good, though over stretched service. I am hoping that the Saturday evening clientele will not be as poorly behaved as we suffered in our first experience.

   I’ve been a customer of Himawari for over 10 years. So happy to see this new concept by the same owner. We did the unlimited sushi for 34.99. The menu is a little limited by design but the quality was great. Service and awesome. Great value. And course, seeing our favorite owner (Jimmy) is always a treat.

   We were excited to see a place like this in our area. The owner revamped his prior Japanese restaurant which was here for decades to offer an updated fresh take on the cuisine. They have downsized their menu to offer only the best options and now include a 16-course Omakase experience. They also offer an all-you-can-eat option as well for a fixed cost. The fish is fresh and very high quality, the service is attentive, the place has been completely renovated. I liked the vibe with music playing but not too loud so you can certainly have a conversation. We really enjoyed our dinner and will certainly be back. Just a note that if you order the "all-you-can-eat" option that they are half rolls and smaller portions, but the great part is that you can order a variety of items from the menu. The chicken teriyaki was incredible as well. You can also order a la carte for the full size menu items.

   I loved my experience here! The restaurant was chic and cozy, the food was so high quality and the sushi chef seemed to genuinely love his work. Our waitress was kind and attentive and the selection of sushi was top tier. We did the table menu and the specialty rolls options were thoughtful and creative. It definitely felt like a choose your own adventure dining scenario and it was fun to try so many creative dishes. In the future I’m going to try the sushi bar menu! Will absolutely be back. This is such a hidden gem but I hope it doesn’t stay hidden for long!
