got the chirashi — loved that it came with purple rice, also had the chef’s tasting menu w 8 piece nigiri! fresh fish and good portions, would come back. casual setting, good for work / group dinners.
I enjoyed the chef's choice—it was well-designed with layers of flavors that made each bite interesting. The server also did a great job explaining the order in which to eat the sushi, which enhanced the experience. However, I was surprised to find a fish bone in one piece of sushi, especially at such a pricey restaurant. On a positive note, the atmosphere and decor were amazing, making it a nice place to dine overall.
The food was good - but in a city like San Francisco with so many standout sushi spots, it didn’t quite rise to the top. I’ve had better sushi elsewhere in town, so it didn’t leave a lasting impression.
Service, on the other hand, was excellent. Friendly, attentive, and everything came out smoothly, no complaints there....
