The restaurant is quite small, only 7 tables around and we were placed close to the counter, which feels quite squeezed. The food is like ok, urchin is pretty good but fish is not as fresh as I expected.

The food was great but not my favorite since everything was fairly rich. However, this has more to do with my personal taste and not necessarily reflective of the quality of the restaurant. Our waitress was extremely nice and friendly and I appreciated the low noise level because it allowed for conversations. My one concern is that there wasn't a place to sit when you're waiting for a table.

WORST restaurant. Eat out a deep-fried hair, and the waitress was like “we don’t know what it is” and then she was like “it’s not our cooks’ hair” (paradox). So I deep-dried my hair on a dinner table?? And her attitude was so irritating and took away our unfinished dish without our consent. So gross, disgusting. Came here to celebrate birthday but turned out to be a nightmare.

Food is great. Especially Uni is so fresh and creamy. What really impressed me was their service. The staffs are excellent and attentive, made great recommendations on Sake. Because it’s my birthday, we were provided with free desserts, a slice of cheesecake and a ice cream ball. Very much appreciated!

An oasis of premium Japanese cuisine in perfect combination, balanced flavors and proportion. Delightful fusion pasta dish with truffles. There was nice space between diners. Very nice decor, low-key service, and overall quiet atmosphere improved our taste of each beautiful dish. We will return to try the other dishes. We will also bring more family and friends with us in the days to come. Thank you for keeping the authentic excellence of sashimi and sushi. The fine attention to details such as edible flowers and leaves I enjoyed very much - something new for me. I hope we will continue to be surprised by lovely creations. Thank you.

Very small restaurant with 7 tables, but well spaced. Cute place with nice simple details. Exceptionally good food and beautifully presented. Each serving is a work of art. Agedashi Tofu is amazing. Chirashi Box; assorted sashimi on top sushi rice - buttery sashimi and each piece is wonderful. Black cod appetizer is perfection. Even the green tea ice cream is perfect. Excellent very nice service. A special restaurant.
