    We went to the midtown, Pa location and was extremely over priced. The place was cold and they said the heat wasn’t working. The food was good with fresh ingredients but they did not explain to us what exactly is the sushi. The staff lacks enthusiasm. Overall a waste of money, wouldn’t go again.

    We had an incredible experience! Chef Harris was amazing. He was very attentive with every piece. The ingredients were very fresh and the flavors were bold. We enjoyed every bite and will definitely revisit!

    The food was impeccable! The service was amazing. Our biggest complaints are that the whole thing felt rushed and the music was so loud that it was difficult to hear what was being served.

    Truly disappointed. Our server didn’t come over to ask if we wanted to order drinks till 11th piece of the 12 total omakase. Front door kept opening and cold air was blowing in throughout the whole experience. My husband had to keep getting up to close the front door. For the amount that is charged this is truly poor experience.
