Very picturesque environment and great service. The wagyu tartare marrow dish needed bread to soak up the marrow. The sushi and hamachi tiradito was extremely fresh. The price point is the only reason I wouldn't recommend this place.

I am never going to this place again. The prices are super high for the quality. Also, some of what they serve given that this is supposed to be upscale Japanese was a total miss. The lobster dynamite roll had so much Mayo and sauce on it that it literally drowned the whole roll making it inedible. Mains were small. Some of the sashimi was so chewy that it was actually inedible - which is odd given that the cut was supposed to be buttery and smooth. The ambiance is odd with lots of leather and velvet. There was basically no one eating here, 90% of the people in the restaurant were just coming in from other places to use the bathroom. Never again.

Went for the new year eve’s dinner. Fixed menu. The service was soooo slow even the restaurant was not half full. Too much creamy stuff. Super full half way. It’s supposed to be Japanese cuisine but not traditional Japanese cuisine. More like American. Definitely overpriced, we Spent 600 for two person.

I was really looking forward to eating here for New Year’s eve but was not told about a price fix menu for the day. The manager was extremely nasty and rude when I tried to explain that we were unaware of the price fix menu. We were not the only people who were unaware and they made no sort of accommodations and instead blamed open table for not relaying the message about our reservation. I would love to go back and try their food but with the poor service it is not a place i want to give business to.

My wife and I attended this restaurant on a Wednesday night, which was perfect b/c the restaurant was at only about 40% capacity. This meant our service was top notch and food came super fast! The drinks were very visually appealing, strong, but very tasty! The sushi was fresh and they gave us a nice portion. We also tried the crab wonton tacos which were delicious! For our entrees we ordered the Miso glazed sea bass, which was extremely tender and flavorful AND the Lobster fried rice which was the only thing we ordered that left much to be desired. Although the waiter claimed it was the most popular dish on the menu there was an extreme lack of flavor which was very disappointing for a $50 dish. For desert we ordered the Matchamisu which was matcha covered tiramisu. It was magnificent but the serving size could have been a little larger. At the end of the night a dinner for 2 ended up costing $247 with an additional $81 is service fees and taxes which pushed our bill up to $328 and that didn’t include the tip! Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely go back for drinks, sushi, and desert, but we would skip the entrees!

The restaurant is beautiful and it sits on the waterfront so you can potentially have a wonderful view. I was excited to try this place as I was celebrating a birthday and it has been on my bucket list. The food was good but for the price I was expecting exceptional tasting food and presentation. The service was fair. I’d say for the price this place is ok but you can get comparable if not better sushi and service elsewhere for less.

The food here is good, but they do such a hard sell on the $115 and $155 tasting menu that goes on for several minutes. Our waiter seemed almost annoyed when we ordered a la carte that we felt like cheapskates, even with a check that was $600 for our family. I was here a few years ago and remembered much the same experience. Seems like they concentrate on one time special occasions or tourists, instead of developing a warm relationship with people who would have liked to be regulars, like us. Skip it.

Half of our party was running late, we called the restaurant ahead and let the host know that they were stuck in traffic. Our server made sure we felt uncomfortable and rushed us to order. Overall he had an extremely impolite demeanor. The food was good, but we had a very unpleasant experience.

After the dinner (food was ok, service was great), we realized my daughter left her seeing lasses on the table We have called and emailed the manager in an attempt to retrieve glasses that were left at the table. After more than three attempts with no response (over the period of two weeks), we purchased new glasses for my daughter. I would say that’s pretty awful customer service.

Although sushi was tasty, we could have saved $700 and had more sushi to choose from at any other smaller sushi joint in DC. Definitely overpriced and lots of "smoke and mirrors"-aka tuna under a smoking cloche. If you are a sake lover, the choices are amazing. The customer service is fine, in fact, tip was "included" and the waiter was still professional and very helpful. (Dennis) Felt rushed through the meal with several people descending on our table to clear plates/platters/glasses as soon as they saw they were empty. You can be in and out of this restaurant in less than an hour if you wanted to quickly eat and go. Glad to see a sushi place on the wharf, but probably won't return.

The wait staff sort of rushed us out of there rather urgently… even though we hadn’t even been there an hour. Very strange. The food was delicious though. The cocktails were expensive but sort of scanty volume… it was good, but not outstanding I guess.

1st off, getting in and checking in to the restaurant are horrendous. Only way in/out of restaurant is taking 1 elevator. I don't know why anyone never thought of having people check-in downstairs vs coming upstairs just to be told to go back down and then come back up in 10-15 minutes. Ambiance was nice, view was nice, food was good but relatively small portions and very pricey. So t think it was worth what we paid honestly.
