Such an amazing experience. The entire place can only hold 12 people. The interplay of high end omakse and classic rap makes for the perfect vibe. We did the 17 course experience, and our chef Jens and our hostess/bartender Skye gave great explanations. They were also able to safely accommodate my crustacean allergy. We had an incredible time

While the sushi itself was good, $65 for just 12 pieces, is overpriced. Every piece of sushi is considered a "course". When you factor in tax, tip, and a bottle of water, it came to a staggering $89 per person! The sushi is served piece by piece as you are seated at the bar. Each hour is a new seating. We ate, paid, and left all within the hour.
In the end, I can’t recommend this place. It’s overpriced and underwhelming.

Had a great experience and loved the energy of Tashon (hope I spelled that right) and the crew that worked Oct. 26th. Food was excellent as always but the hospitality was even better than usual. Thanks again for a great evening.

We did the 12-course Omakase, and it was an amazing experience! Tashon was a great bartender, and the manager was very accommodating—always making sure everything was to our liking. The food was beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. Excellent service, atmosphere, and overall experience! Love the speakeasy vibes!
