    We have loved eating here for years but the last 2 times we’ve been (both Dec. 2025) they are dramatically understaffed and unbearably slow. A couple of weeks ago, two of us sat at a table and ordered food and waited 45+ minutes to get our sushi. Tonight we ordered take out using their app. (They recommended using the app “for best experience”.) It was a 30 minute wait for the pick up but then suddenly instead of being ready as promised, jthe pick up time was bumped back by another 40 minutes. So we called to check, were told it was not their fault and we waited the 40 minutes and went to pick up our order. The lobby was packed with people and one hostess was running around trying to do way too much. From what we could see there was one hostess, 2 servers and 2 cooks. Our order was not ready and we had to fight to get the hostess’ attention to find that out. 2 hours after we placed our initial order we cancelled and had to find somewhere else to get food. So sad. Lesson learned, we’ll be going elsewhere

    We had a quick lunch but would happily return for a long dinner. We had a couple of appetizers and two signature rolls. All were delightful, light, flavorful and artistically prepared. Excellent flavor, very fresh ingredients and we lived the sauces. We can't wait for an opportunity to return and explore more if what they have to offer. Thank you Kurt and Alison
