Good food but pricey and small portions. One of those places you go and then need to stop at in and out after. I've had larger servings of nigiri at other sushi

Incredible food and flavor. Very accommodating forwards GF diet and good service. We save this place for more special events because it's pricy but you definitely get what you pay for. The restaurant is a vibe not too loud it has a nice slightly casual elegance and a clean restroom. The beef tataki is a must order it's our favorite thing one the menu and when I go everyone orders their own beef tataki appetizer. Salmon sashimi melts in you mouth and anything they make scallops is delicious.

FANTASTIC dinner! We waited in like about 10 mins prior to opening and were seated within 3 mins or so. We ordered hot sake, a few starters, a roll and some sashimi and everything was amazing! I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, but we managed to finish it all, it was that good! Also the service was impeccable. Our server was very attentive, and there were others around clearing empty plates quickly before the next round came. We can't wait to go back!

Everything was absolute perfection. Hidden in a beautiful town in Marin, this sushi restaurant exceeded all experiences that I have had outside of Japan, and only rivaled one at a private park in Tokyo at the Four Seasons in 2001. The dishes were elegant, perfectly presented, and the ingredients were absolutely top notch. Textures and flavors were optimal for their presentations. The sake list is one of the best in the country. Highlights were the tempura shiso wrap, scallop chive dumplings, and the wagyu tataki. 50B

The restaurant has a poorly run and convoluted "wait list" system. The system assumes you live within walking distance of the restaurant in Fairfax. if you live any driving distance from the restaurant, their system will be very inconvenient for you.They gave us poor estimates of when our table would be ready; and we wasted an entire evening waiting and after which they told us that they could not wait 20 min for us to arrive for our table. We are in the “never again” camp.We would strongly suggest you to reconsider making plans here unless you live very close by.

Hands down, the best “pub style” Japanese restaurant ever. Heck, it’s the best restaurant in Marin period!!!Dietary restrictions: My wife is allergic to crab and they accommodate every time.

Worth the wait in line, the food is outstanding. The menu varies, but everything I've had was delicious. Inspired cooking.
Excellent food, service and ambience! The staff are so accommodating and took great care of us even though they had a full house and we had no reservation. Our favorite thing was the Wagyu Beef Tataki and the Village Doughnuts - but everything was amazing!! We especially appreciated the over-the-top hospitality from Jenny - she's so sweet! We'll certainly be back!

How could you go wrong with a great staff, chefs, and it's local to Fairfax . I wish it had even more seating available than the outside added tables ! Hard in the winter !

Excellent take out experience, the sushi is so fresh and packed well. Beats waiting in line for over an hour for a table any night of the week - also Sake to go is a plus!

I waited years to try this neighborhood favorite in Fairfax...definitely not worth the hype. Horrible service. Food is fine, but the service was so disappointing and disrespectful. I was very shocked at the low level of customer care. Definitely do not recommend.
Take a look.....good place for family
