One of the best sushi experiences ever. Fish is outstanding and service is impeccable. Tuna trio (a special that night), uni, white and silver fish are delicious and artistic. Chef is fabulous. The only issue I have is the lighting, it is so bright (white light) in the restaurant. Warmer, softer would be better, in my humble opinion -- and make it a perfect place!

What an experience. We are here last night, ordering the omakase and the sake flight. The omakase was exceptional - incredibly fresh, creative, unique, many fish direct from japan. Every part of the meal was delicious and of extremely high quality. The wasabi - delicious and flavorful- not your standard Japanese restaurant lasts. Very fresh, beautifully cut ginger. Two Differently flavored rices for different dishes. The owner and head chef graciously and proudly served us at the sushi bar and we had an extremely knowledgeable waitress who explained when there was more to know. The miso soup with two clams that we ate at the end was delicious. The space is simple, elegant, tasteful. This was a truly transporting experience.

food was fresh and sushi chefs were very professional. As a value prop, do not come here. It seats like a 3 start sushi place you find on Oklahoma, and the service was slow. There are much better places in the city of Omakase in the city.
