Amazing omakase with fun chef! The fish is fresh and nicely flavored. He leans on wasabi but it was blended in just right. The chef was very personable and fun. The food is just yummy yummy.
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience there with the sushi and fresh delicious and unique dishes prepared in front of us. The sake selection and chef recommendations were fantastic and went perfectly with the meal. Chef changes the menu almost daily, and provides good interaction. Let the chef do the drink pairing and sit back for a wonderful experience.
This sushi experience was absolutely exceptional. Watching the chef prepare each dish right in front of us was fascinating and added a special, personal touch to the entire meal. You could really see the skill, precision, and passion behind every plate. The sushi itself was simply out of this world — incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor. Every bite felt carefully crafted, and each course managed to be even better than the last. The attention to detail, the quality of the ingredients, and the interactive experience made this much more than just a meal — it was a true culinary journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable sushi experience.
Was amazing! Food was very particular and fresh, never taste nothing similar. The roll, the nigiri otoro and the 2 soup he served us was my favorites. Sushi chef speak smooth english (is not common in Japan!) and he teach us about what he served. Recommended! (Book in advance!)
I had an amazing omakase lunch experience. The sushi was absolutely delicious, fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. The chef was very kind and welcoming, making the experience even more special. The restaurant has only six seats, which creates an intimate and calm atmosphere, and the space is carefully designed with great attention to detail. This was my very first omakase and I couldn’t be happier. I truly loved every moment and I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic and unforgettable sushi experience.
