- MMMattOct 30, 20255.0Had an amazing time! The sushi was super fresh and every piece was delicious. The chefs were awesome and really fun to watch, they made the whole experience feel special. Definitely the best sushi spot I’ve been to in the area. Can’t wait to come back! (My only wish is that they had Sapporo on the menu.)
- EEECOct 27, 20255.0Gone a bunch always 5 stars
- JDjaamal daleyOct 25, 20252.0It highly over priced in my opinion. Food leave you wanting more. Try at your own risk.
- MDMax DengOct 5, 20255.0This is by far our favorite spot in the capital region, not just for sushi but also for drinks. Even with a core menu that stays the same, the chefs (special shoutout to Carl!) do such a great job adding little tweaks that make the pieces feel like they change with the season. The bougie pieces are always some of the most memorable culinary experiences. With the quality, it's a challenge every time not to splurge on some of the deluxe pieces, but we've never ever regretted doing so. Finally, I can't say enough good things about the service - Sam always does such a great job making sure that the guests are well taken care of
- CPCierra Leo PassinoSep 28, 20255.0I was able to make a reservation a few days in advance for my husband’s birthday, but I called same day to make a special request/accomodation. I didn’t expect anything, but the hostess, the bartender, and the chef all went above and beyond in their accommodations and I’m extremely awestruck and thankful. What an amazing place. In addition, every bite was immaculate. It’s an extremely unique, immersive dining experience that starts when you enter the building and goes till you leave. I wish I got your names but thank you all SO MUCH!
