Great food and very nice service, with good drink recommendations.

Really nice food and setting, drinks service was a bit slow but the chef was really nice.

This was a genuinely wonderful experience! I came for the dinner course and got to try so many lovely pieces of sushi. You should definitely make a reservation beforehand as they don't let walk-ins. The chef and his assistant were extremely kind and always answered when I asked what fish was being served! The interior was very beautiful and overall I left feeling satisfied and happy!

One of the best experience i have in my life. Will definitely come again next time. Uni is a must.

I never realized how much better sushi could be until I witnessed this master at work. Down to earth and happy to chat with customers, the chef and his crew provided an amazing dining experience, with every morsel even better than the last. Be sure to ask for the otoro when they ask if you would like anything else before dessert!
