   Food and ambience was great overall but was not greeted upon arrival and I walked myself to find the rest of my party. Not very easy to get server our attention.

   Food was amazing. Miso cod and crispy rice were best I’ve ever had. It’s expensive, maybe a tad overpriced for some things like an eleven dollar cucumber salad that was tiny, but I would go back. Food was lovely and service was exceptional.

   Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Our waiter Berj was knowledgeable about the menu and went above and beyond by relaying the message to the Chef that their new dessert on the menu, boba creme brulee, was not well thought out and made. Berj came back and apologized, told us the Chef took the dessert off the menu, and gave us their coffee creme brulee on the house which made us feel very content that we dined there the first time. We will definitely come back again for another special occasion. We ordered the crudo tacos and three of their signature rolls. All were very good. My favorite was the Lemon Roll over the Toro roll. My least favorite was the Mango Chili Hirame. If you check into Yelp, you get one free glass of wine (red/white).

   Menu was too overpriced for the quality of food and service. An ok overall experience. Servers were very kind, but inattentive. The drink I ordered (the yuzu spritz) tasted mostly like sweet and sour mix. Would not go back.

   The food was delicious but the service was abominable. The price was ludicrous considering we live in LA where there is superior sushi for significantly less.

   The garlic edamame and the mixed tempura basket were excellent. The nigiri sushi was a little underwhelming. It was very intricately prepared and each of the pieces looked fabulous in construction, but I have to say the rice was a little hard. For the price, I would have expected them to hit it out of the park in all dimensions.

   My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here and we loved it. The food was amazing. They bring things out as they're ready so that you don't have a ton of plates on your table all at once. Oysters were the best I've had, and so was the salmon sushi. The toro roll and coconut mango roll were also delicious! Can't wait to come back

    Overall it was a great dining experience. Great selection of food, responsive staff and atmosphere. I would have given 5 stars had not been the strong sent of natural gas coming from the gas fireplace that we were seated next. The server turned it off but the smell of gas was still strong.

    My suggestion, don’t go on a Saturday night. We went to celebrate a birthday. Arrived on time for our reservation and were told all available tables were taken and they weren’t sure how long the wait would be. We were finally seated 20 minutes later and we’re chatted up by a young woman who we assumed was our waiter. Not so. She talked up the menu, including the legendary toro. Then she left. About 15 minutes later a young man shows up and announces he is our waiter. He apologizes for the wait and we chat briefly and mentioned we wanted to order their signature toro plate. He then apologized again and said they were completely out of toro! A third of their menu are various toro sushi’s. It’s 8 on a Saturday night and they are out if their signature fish! So we asked for a few more minutes to change our order. The waiter disappeared and didn’t resurface for another 20 minutes. When he finally appeared we said the chef found some toro in the refrigerator and we could get the toro platter. But that was the only toro dish available. So we ordered our dishes and one drink. Our first dish (the toro platter) arrived about 15 minutes later. No drink. Our appetizer showed up next (about 15 minutes later). Still no drink. We finally got through all our dishes, it was 9:30. The waiter brought the bill. We mentioned this was a birthday, which surprised him. He offered a dessert and we accepted. Once he left, we joked we would now be there for another 30 minutes. As it turned out, it wasn’t a joke. We left the restaurant at 10:15. Our 7:30 dinner took three hours. The food was lovely, but the management of the restaurant was awful. Short staffed on the busiest night of the week. Who allows that to happen?

    Although the food did taste great, none of my taste buds were supercharged while I was eating in the dark, I'm not a fun of this concept-it puts me in a state of conflict. Visual cues play a crucial role in our perception of flavor and in the control of our appetitive behaviors. The removal of this important source of sensory information causes a detrimental effect in terms of the correct identification, and hence enjoyment. Does the dine-in-the-dark experience really give you an impression of what it’s like for the blind to eat either.

    The service is terrible at this restaurant. I walked in and waited at least 5-10 minutes before anyone acknowledged my presence. When we were seated, it took a long time before a server came to greet us and take our order. Our drink and food order took a long time and our server forgot our second drink order. For the price that we paid for the food and experience, I was deeply disappointed. I would not recommend this place to anyone I know.

    Quality is excellent here! The ambiance and setting matches quality of sushi. Price fairly for quality; however, I gave it 4 stars because there is nothing original on this menu to stand out and our order was delivered all at once without any time to savor one dish before another was presented. But what does stand out is friendly service, quality and attention to cutl as is reflected in the ambiance. My absolute favorite was the 5A Miyazaki wagyu with Truffle Butter. For the 4oz we paid $150 and it was worth it! The sushi rice is comparable to Sugarfish, although it is served cold. The cocktails are absolutely delicious and celebratory!
