The fish was fresh and sushi was well made. However, it is not a real omakase experience even if sitting at the bar. Rather than serving the sushi piece by piece, you get a plate of sushi at one time, which is disappointing. The service wasn’t good enough. The only server that night was unfriendly and weird.

We love this restaurant. It serves sme of the best sushi in NYC- it's a legit Tokyo like experience. Top quality food with an unpretentious atmosphere. The team is great. It is family friend (there is a $!6 kids meal) and the place is so chill and relaxed. We noticed that a lot of people were ordering takeout and it looked good. We had dinner and drinks. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. This place is great and does not rush you. 10/10.

We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for Valentine’s Day. We arrived on time and there were still many open tables. The hostess (Josephine) leads us to a table directly next to the door. When I requested a table in the back (at least 3 open tables) she said in an extremely rude manner that she would not give me a table in the back and would only offer me the table next to the door. She further angrily stated that she has 64 reservations for that night. That’s fine but if there are many open tables when a patron arrives they should be given the opportunity to have a table that is not next to the door where the cold air hit us every time the door opened. The reservation is for a certain time NOT for a specific table so why was I denied the table I requested when there were so many open tables. The waitress was great, the food was delicious and a good value for the price. Josephine needs to learn how to politely deal with patrons if she is to stay in the hospitality industry.

Very ambient and cozy, sushi was very authentic, however very few sushi roll choices and no spicy mayo was the only downer. Which makes sense if it’s authentic. Overall a good experience.

Myself and 2 friends had a reservation on a Friday at 8:15pm. We were the only table in the restaurant so there wasn't much of a vibe. Our server was friendly and gave good recommendations, but spent a lot of time chatting loudly with the chef at the counter. The food took awhile to come out considering we were the only customers. After our food was delivered, our server left the restaurant. Another server stepped in briefly but then went to the back of the kitchen to eat dinner and the chef followed so we were the only people in the front of house while we finished eating. The food tasted good and seemed good quality, but the sushi was falling apart. We were still hungry and would have ordered more but with no vibes, minimal attention from staff, and poor presentation, we decided to leave and go eat 2nd dinner across the street. Maybe it was just an off night, but this was my only experience and I don't plan on returning.

Great, small restaurant that’s chef owned. Authentic, yet creative menu. Nice atmosphere. Definitely sit at the sushi bar and watch the magic happen.

While I’m all for supporting small business the owner here needs to get it together. He was clearly training all the staff during the night. This made the service supper slow and it was uncomfortable seeing him yelling at the staff and explaining things. Also the sushi was mid at best. The price was a bit blown out coming out to be 200 for 2. Also they where offering 20% discount and we forgot to mention it. When we asked for the bill to be done again they laughed in our face. Their staff and kitchen is clearly not ready for customer service and be open yet.
