I was visiting and decided to try this place because it was close to my hotel and had decent reviews. The service was very friendly and attentive. My salmon sashimi was fresh and buttery. I ordered a special roll that was covered in mayo and eel sauce that wasn’t listed. The quality was good, I just don’t love sauces on my sushi. If you love classic rolls, miso soup and fresh sashimi this is a great spot!

10/10 best fresh fish ever! Better than Nobu. This place has fantastic fish quality. It’s going to become my new go-to. The yellowtail sashimi was next level. The albacore sashimi was also great. Highly recommend for anyone who values QUALITY fish and honestly very reasonably priced for this grade of fish.

Food was delicious and served relatively quickly, which didn’t leave us starving for too long.
The staff were very friendly and kind as well and the atmosphere was very chill, and not too noisy in there
