This place exceeded every expectation—from the moment we walked in, the ambiance and music set the perfect tone for the evening. The chefs are true masters of their craft—personable, passionate, and precise in every detail. The quality of the sushi was nothing short of incredible, with the otoro being an absolute standout—rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.
