    Very good sushi and sashimi. with the sole exception of the Sea Urchin that wasn't at the same level as the rest. The others we tried were excellent. We had to wait a while despite having reserved. Being the last shift (8.30) didn't help as some tables were late. Overall very positive experience, with some improvement points. Good value for money.

    Always delicious The waiters do not ever act in a charming fashion. They just don’t, but we don’t really care. The room is not beautiful. The food is excellent.

    They graciously seated us 30 min earlier than our reservation. The food was delicious, so fresh and a generous portion. I had the chirashi lunch special and my son had the tempura bento box. It was a wonderful meal and very reasonable!
