   Our server Gabe was super friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. He even put in special service since it was my partner's birthday, making us feel very special.

   Cute place, but the food and drinks were very hit or miss, and that was not what I was expected for $60/person. I would pay the $9-12 for the salmon-avocado and toro-negi temaki again, they were great, but my drink was so bad they might have actually gotten the recipe wrong. I was quite literally gagged. Overall, 6/10 with a high standard deviation. Also, we have a reservation a week in advance and we still got sat at the bar for 20 minutes waiting for a table to open up–not a big deal but still annoying. I went with my cousin, we both got three temaki and a cocktail and split the Japanese potato salad (a lot of yuzu, but still good), we spent ~$130 including tip. Her cocktail was very good (vermouth with a dried orange on top, very strong, great flavor, very pretty presentation) and mine was so bad it was confusing (Matcharita 2.0). It was bitter, sour, and salty with salt going all the way around the rim. I wiped the salt off after a while, but even with that my cousin told me to stop drinking it because she would see me grimace every time I took a sip. The temaki were similar, the salmon-avocado and toro-negi were amazing, I would pay the $9-12 for them again, but the smoked salmon one was not good. It was topped with a bitter vegetable that really threw off the flavor and the nori's texture was really thrown off by the 'everything bagel' crust it had, which tasted a bit stale.

   I used to come all the time but this time felt very different. Our server wasn’t attentive and we were up charged. I didn’t bother saying anything because we just wanted to leave. Not sure if I’ll be back.

   The food is simply incredible and worth coming back for. It was my third time going and each time I’ve gotten new, delicious things. I’ll always get the bamboo shoots at the beginning and the churros at the end.

   Food and service were excellent. Sushi counter seats were pretty uncomfortable and there was not really space to position your body to talk to the person next to you. Would also be cool to see through the counter!

   The most perfect sushi experience I’ve had. Took a fair amount of effort not to cry from how good the food was. I’m gluten and dairy free and navigating was a breeze.

    Food was good, but didn’t think it was amazing. On some parts of my rolls, they put too much wasabi and so that would completely overtake the bite - and I like wasabi but it was just an uneven spread I guess. But it happened on 2 of the 5 rolls I ordered. I liked the spicy lobster and spicy crab dynamite. The others lacked flavor. The chef was great to interact with though, very friendly. My waitress only popped over to take my order and to give me the bill - but she was nice. Not sure if I will visit again though.
