    First time there but not the last! We were there to celebrate a birthday. I called ahead to see if I could bring dessert. The staff was very accommodating. The food was excellent and plentiful. Looking forward to going back

    Best omakase I have had here! It’s always a good meal, but they’ve upped their game. It’s a similar experience to other restaurants that charge $100 more per person. It was very high quality and they had some great, unique dishes.
