    The sushi was amazing! So delicious! Each piece so tasty. Certainly the best sushi I’ve ever had. We ordered some owe no yukidoke sake which was also delicious. On my complaint was that the music was too loud so it was hard to talk and hard to hear the chef describe the pieces.

    Wonderful omakase experience. Chef Gene’s skills produced delectable sushi and Adrian gave us refreshing cocktails. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic in what they do. Ambiance is cozy and dim with upbeat music playing in the background. Highly recommended.
