“ The sushi was very fresh. Small restaurant so very intimate. Sat at the bar and got to watch and interact with chef Shin, it was very enjoyable and cool to watch. Highly recommend. ”
“ This food is such a hidden gem. The baked butterfish was amazing. See how flaky the meat is? The teapot soup is also highly recommended. The service is great but seating is limited. ”
“ We have become regulars here for a reason. Fresh, quality and Japanese pride go into every roll! Very close to an authentic Tokyo sushi experience. Try the Black Pepper Crusted Seared Tuna! ”
“ The quality of the ingredients at this location are superb. They mainly specialize in sashimi and nigiri, so if youre looking for high quality sushi this is the place to go. Atmosphere is quaint, feels very much like youre in the know since this is a small establishment, but leaves a bit to be desired in the decorations almost a bit bare. That being said the food absolutely makes up for that and keeps us coming back. ”
