   I ordered the sushi dinner which was to have 6 pieces nigiri. Typically, when I order this at other places, the pieces are a variety, so it was a little disappointing to get three pieces tuna and three pieces salmon. The ambience was ok. With the bar closed and empty it was a little stark in there. The sushi was good, but not good enough to make a trip back there.

   Service was very inconsistent and our waitress left before dessert was served. Went for my partner's birthday and will probably not be back. We were big fans originally, but it seems food quality and experience has gone downhill recently.

   This place has gone downhill. Omakase closed. No liquor license. Sushi was mediocre. Such a shame.

   Decent, don’t expect to get any drinks though and be prepared to byob. They advertise a full bar and cocktail menu but doesn’t even exist anymore. Their lucky they are right across the street from a winery. Foods decent though.

   Food is still so so good although they do not have a liquor license right now, so it was very disappointing! I was looking forward to their great cocktails - would’ve been nice to be notified prior

   This place has gone downhill every time I’ve been there. The food used to be amazing when they only had one ramen (chicken ramen) on the menu. They did that very well. And the duck onigiri which I miss so much. Now it’s overpriced and mid tasting sushi, with mediocre ramen and they’re always understaffed. One time they asked a table next to us to leave so they could turn it and the table replied that they had asked for their check 30 min ago. The last time we went we found out they lost their liquor license and are being sued for wage theft among other crimes. We won’t ever be back. I hope it closes and a better one opens as we don’t want this kind of place in fishtown.

    Beautiful experience for me and my teenage kids. The only hiccups were in seating and initial wait time. Other than that, we couldn’t stop raving about the food!
