I have eaten here many times. Today was my first Omakase experience. Out of the 20 courses I only didn’t enjoy 2-3 of them however I was more than happy to still finish them. The fish here is fresh, unique and delicious. The staff is warm and welcoming. I do feel you get better value for lunch here vs the Omakase dinner but it is a great experience that I could only justify once in a blue moon for the price. For me this is the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. You will not be disappointed going here but make sure to make reservations as it is small.

Had been wanting to try this for some time but came away quite disappointed. Having lived in Japan for a dozen years, I can confidently say I have never tasted anything like this in that country. Ordering takeout, I have to say my score for service is a guess - I placed my order online and it was ready on time, brought to me by a nice young man. As to atmosphere, it appeared to be a stylish and clean space. But it's the food that let me down. The sushi rice lacked the taste of vinegar and fell apart, lacking stickiness. The quality of the fish was okay, but not enough to make up for the other odd tastes. The beef tataki was just...a bizarre concoction of bland, colourless meat. I understand the chef is Korean, so if you fell in love with sushi in that country, this might be up your alley. Nothing Japanese about it.

Well it was my first time having Omakase. It was a 20 course meal. Although that sounds impressive, it’s more like 20 small finger appetizers.
I enjoyed this thoroughly with my wife for our anniversary.
I have to say it was a very unique experience. At times you are overwhelmed by how much detail they put into it and other times you just want to say “please move on”.
Was everything delicious? No, not by a long shot. Some of it was too salty and couldn’t be eaten readily, some of it was a bit chewy. But the good ones or great ones overcame the bad. The details overcame the mediocre. The service overshadowed everything.
I would do it again for a special occasion, for sure, absolutely. As a regular sushi meal? Not a chance, given the expense and the time required.
Praise the chef, his assistants and the service staff in the background.
Here’s how this could have been improved for me. - Space out the participants if you have the chance. We had an empty seat to our right but they didn’t spread us out and I sat next to someone who was coughing more than normal. - There should be less pauses between each course as some came right after while others had a large gap. Timing was very inconsistent.
If you’re having some special occasion, this is the best experience ever. Try it out.

Amazing experience! Chef Allan was a great host and the service from everyone here was as amazing. Love that they have a mini daily omakase and the atmosphere was very relaxed. My favorite was the chutoro nigiri and the blue fin roll. All the food here was high quality and tasted amazing, definitely something for a special occasion. Looking forward to coming back! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!
Love love love the omakase here, along with all of the specialty rolls they offer. The otoro is A++ ❤️🫶🏻

The best meal my girlfriend and i have ever eaten we happened to be the only two people dining that night so it was very intimate it is expensive but 100% worth the experience especially if you love sushi and have never had high quality fish. Our sushi chef was super nice and fun to talk to the rest of the staff was great as well! 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent quality for the value of what you pay. Great sashimi size cuts, not like sime other authentic Japanese restaurant that have gone hill in quality and portions since they open 30 some years ago.
They expanded their menu since they first open so it's even better now! Unfortunately seating is limited, but they have amazing party trays for takeout.
Even their bento boxes and sushi rolls are a great selection. Definitely a gem in the community South.
