    Surprised at how small the portions are. Very expensive, given the size of each portion. No idea why they play ganster rap, then loud EDM, back to gangster. Second time I’ve been there sand same deal each time. Very yummy food and service is great. Pricing is terrible and the tacky music is why I give 3 stars.

    This restaurant delivered on all levels. Beautiful food presentation, a fantastic waiter that was well versed in the menu and asked pertinent questions to steer our party of 5 to the best selections for us, and a fun atmosphere. The bathrooms were also beautiful! Expensive meal but great for a special occasion.

    Food was awesome, but I felt it was too pricey. The place is super cool, I think the music was too load for being more of a restaurant than a bar. But it was great music so we still enjoyed it, but you had to speak very load to have a conversation.

    The sushi was remarkably fresh, capturing the authentic flavors and textures you’d expect in Tokyo. Each piece was crafted with precision and care. While the prices are steep — making it more of a special occasion destination — the exceptional quality more than justifies the cost for true sushi enthusiasts.

    Amazing omakase! The fish was incredible and they made a special dairy-free dessert for me which was the best dessert I've ever had at an omakase place.
