   Reservations mean nothing here. You still have to wait as long as walk-ins for your table.

   Poor service stood out. No dining tables - only the sushi bar which makes it difficult to have a conversation with 4. Sushi was fresh, ambience trendy. Probably fine for a quick bite or drinks but not for a sit-down meal for adults. Service issues ruined a birthday meal

   Everything was so great. The service and the food was perfect for a small group as everyone is sitting directly next to each other. I recommend the “I am Starving” handrolls so you can get a variety of different flavors.

   It was awkward to go with two others as there is only bar seating. Food is good but overpriced. We quickly racked up $122 before tip (we didn’t order any drinks) and left hungry. We had our second dinner about an hour later. Our dinner here was more like appetizers. Each of us had three hand rolls. The fish is fresh but the hand rolls seem small. We could have easily ordered more but I was turned off on the idea of knowing that we would prob walk out with at least $250 bill (before tip) and not feeling fully satisfied. We were in and out in 35 min. Since the place was half empty the waitress seemed anxious and often check on us to see if we wanted to order more. That’s better than the alternative of feeling like you can’t get the waitstaff’s attention…so maybe that’s a good thing!

   Wish I could have rated this place higher it looked really good and I was excited by everything I saw! Unfortunately they were heavily understaffed with one person serving and preparing the food for 12 people all at once. I honestly felt bad for her and me and my friend ended up leaving after not putting in an order after 20 minutes of waiting and another group a head of us not have ordered either. I might consider giving this place another try but with reservation I expected faster service.

    Excellent hand rolls but would lean towards the blue crab and lobster. Individual doing the hand rolls could have described what roll was coming out. The fried rice cakes were nothing special

    Good food but if they get off schedule it messes up everything. Had to wait for 30 minutes and service was a disaster. Great rolls. Crispy rice cakes fresh are seriously good. Took several asks to get drinks so place is no kazunori yet!!

    Food and drinks were great — definitely get a crispy rice as it was all of our favorite. Staff was friendly and quick and obviously run a tight ship. Fun to come as a couple but we came with 3 people and it made conversation a little awkward because we didn’t realize the seating situation. Would definitely recommend!

    The food was great as always (and the chef was lovely) but the overall service and management was not. Two out of the three drinks we ordered didn’t arrive until the meal ended, we were charged for a substitution fee (this fee was not mentioned when we had asked to swap one fish for another) and the attitude of the management was sub par. We had asked if the $3 substitution fee could be removed as they did not alert us of the fee to which they said no and when we had also asked if just one drink could be comped as they arrived at the end of the meal, the manager (I assume he was the manager) was rude and said “they arrived didn’t they? So no.” and was extremely snarky. The food here is always great but I will not be returning.

    Some of the fish was too salty and the lobster and blue crab was dry. The hand rolls weren’t anything special. They also had left used sauce dish at our seats and never gave us new chopsticks or napkins so I had to search for them myself. The restaurant was very understaffed.

    They don’t care about their customers only a high turnaround and profit. And it shows! In a city full of amazing restaurants and as foodies we are always looking for those smaller gems in nyc especially in the east village. Unfortunately this place is not it! The service is terrible. There is one waitress/hostess who we kept trying to find throughout the meal to take our order or add on items. We didnt realize how small the rolls are and that we needed to order more than a few. Of course that was not explained by the staff and no recommendations were made at any point as to what or how much to order. In addtion, we were not allowed to order another cocktail while seated after we finished eating. And within 5 minutes after finishing eating and ordering more rolls, we were approached and harassed by staff telling us in a far from kind way to move to the bar or leave. I tried to explain to the one waitress/hostess why this was unacceptable and she stared me down without saying one word. Instead she got the manager, who is also the “roll chef,” to confront me aggressively and tell me I need to leave to make room for others. He didnt even bother offering a drink or something for a repeat visit. I left feeling harassed and annoyed on a Friday night after dropping $100 for a few rolls and horrific service. Do NOT come here if you want a peaceful dining experience and to be treated respectfully. They dont care. They only want your money and clearly get enough of the NYU crowd to keep business going. One day they’ll learn the hard way when those students stop going and they have no other loyal customers left.

    Do not go. Order pick up or delivery. wasn’t allowed to order a drink Bc there was no bartender. A beer took 30+ minutes to come. 45 minutes before appetizers before someone finally asked to take our main order. Food was great and fresh. Glass of water came with pieces of plastic in it. Then some bartender came up and dropped 3+ glasses on the floor. Will never go back unfortunately

    Food was good, but the service was slow and sporadic. People dining together would get the same rolls separately with a wait in between. Service on the evening I visited was poor: order not taken correctly, items forgotten but still charged on the bill, a general level of surliness... The restaurant was very quiet (6~10 diners) but we were still squashed onto one bar with one overworked, slow chef... I can believe that there have been and will be more vibrant and on-the-ball experiences, but based on my visit it's a 'medium' in a city full of excellence.

    The food was tasty, and Joe (one of the staff) was really nice and accommodating. The cons: It appeared extremely understaffed. I made a reservation and was seated 25 minutes after my reservation time, and didn't eat until 1 hour or so after my reservation time. The food itself had great flavor - but also was small - and you'll probably be hungry after buying $30 worth of small rolls. I likely will not return due to the wait time.

    Originally I had a 1:00 reservation, due to an issue they had, they asked me if I could return at 2. I had a meeting, and we were already running late so we waited. No regrets, the sushi was rolls were very good, fish was fresh and the Mgmt gave us a free appetizers and a drink. I will be returning here, maybe check them out for dinner.

    Wonderful rolls and great crispy rice apps. The “Hangry” dinner was quite a lot of food. But prepared at a relaxed pace, it was easy to eat every morsel. It was my first time at this restaurant, but Joe at the bar made me feel right at home. His menu and sake suggestions were spot on.
