Great experience! Took us several mins to get going since they wait for all the seat to fill for the bar experience. Once everyone arrives, it's great having Chef Matt explain the dishes as he's serving. The sushi is exquisite and made in such a way that arouses your palette. I also love that it's served from lighter sushi to more fatty and flavorful sushi towards the end. They also give you a complimentary dessert which was delicious. Gotta also mention, their cocktails are really good. 10/10. Yes its expensive but if you go in knowing it's a unique experience, the price shouldn't matter.

I found the food quality to be good, but the omakase assortment fell kind of flat. It was almost all nigiri style bites (I believe 13 in total with two crudo style dishes to start) overdressed and over-seasoned. I think crispy garlic was on 5 of them? There were some groovy flavor combinations for sure, a yummy basil oil for instance (but again I think it was on 3 of the nigiri) but I felt like the sauces were super strong vs the usual understated, subtle / taste the fish flavor I am accustomed to. It seemed like the menu was pre-planned and would be the same if we went tomorrow. Just not what I am used to. Generally the chef asks what you like and don’t like and we did not get that here. All cooked or heated items were heated with torch. I guess I just am used to a different experience with omakase, like a salad sunomono course, a soup or broth dish, maybe a yakitori or some clever chicken skin dish or a unique cooked fish dish? Definitely worth trying, but be prepared for a hefty bill (ours was over $500 for 3 guests). Oh one last thing, the service was great and everyone was super friendly!

This was an amazing experience! The food and service were incredible. Also please order the wagu beef tataki. It was one of my favorite bites of the year.

The food was good. Didn't have any cocktails. Their service could've been better with timeliness but there was only two waiters which they told us about, no biggies there; I am all for communication. Would come again.

We did the table side omakase. Every bite was amazing. There was a bit of a delay because it appeared they were short staffed but the team in the front of the house stayed poised and did wonderfully. The music was on point. The drinks were delicious. It was a really good experience. We’ll definitely be back.
