The food was unique and incredible. We celebrated a birthday and they really made it very special with bubbles and a candle. We will be back, and will recommend it to friends.

Great experience and delicious sushi. Despite arriving almost a half hour late due to traffic and parking snafu, the hostess warmly greeted us and got us seated right away. we sat at the sushi bar which usually allows you to see the sushi masters at work but the bar area is a big high do not much to see but don't be disappointed. The sushi and sashimi is fresh and artfully prepared. we tried their cocktails of Asian Pear daiquiri and the Shiitake Manhattan and both were delicious. we ordered the Omakase Niguri Sashimi and the Red Dragon Rolls which was shrimp tempura with spicy tuna so it was hit and cold and sweet and savory all in a bite. the nigiri was lovely with a mix of presentations of beautiful fresh fish. a great experience and we look forward to find b again. Service was prompt and friendly. a great spot before a show or for meeting friends.

3rd or 4th time here, and the best experience yet. First off, the hostess, who was the perfect combination of professional and friendly, made us feel welcome. We were dining before a concert and they accommodated getting us out the door with plenty of time to spare. The food was uniformly delicious - cucumber salad, maitake tempura and several sushi rolls and some nigiri. My only disappointment is the sake selection is somewhat limited and very pricey for anything decent. Solid service.

It took a while for us to get seated. Our server took a long time to greet us and get our order. But everything else was great and server was great! The hostess was amazing!

We had the omakase, the chips and dip, and the Hamachi sashimi appetizer. The fish was excellent quality and variety. We were happy to get same day reservations.

The service was wonderful. Food was good. It was a bit noisy with all of the people inside and having music playing.

The presentation thoughtfulness and quality of food was excellent. The drinks we tried were perfectly balanced. They had just added a margarita with soy sauce, and that was our favorite must try it. We ordered a bunch of nigiri's and were extremely impressed. The unagii was out of this world. Can't wait to go back !

Service was excellent and decor comfortable. Big windows make it feel open. Standard good sushi. Rice in nigiri was a little loose. Hot tea cup was so thin that couldn't drink from it without scalding my lips for a bit. Location is excellent, right across from event parking for symphony, ballet, opera. Would come again— can't beat the location.

Amazing sushi at an amazing price. Great place to go before a night at Bill Graham or the symphony. The Chips N Dip, Spicy Hamachi, and Ya Man are not to be missed. Great atmosphere without being fussy.

Some dishes didn't come out and then they were brought to us in to-go boxes. Super weird. We would have preferred not to have been charged for them.

Wonderful food, staff and service, I love the Ya Man

Busy. But I liked the ambiance. Cocktails, which were ok, are saki based so don't expect a full bar menu. Food was good! And at the price point-good match. Service was kind and attentive. But food and drinks were slow to come out.
