Had a great experience here, starting with being seated at a great table for a date. Waiter gave us perfect recommendations for some rolls and it was just the right amount of food. Great tasting and presentation. Ambiance was great for talking and lovely decor throughout. Overall I enjoyed the night very much!

There was a large hair in my nigiri. But the server promptly took it back and got a fresh plate, along with complimentary sake. Great service, but how does the kitchen not see that come out?
