amazing!! all the way from LA!!! everyone was super super sweet and welcoming!!! thank you, will definitely be returning!
Wow, cannot say more about this fantastic sushi spot! As someone who frequents Tokyo, I can’t recommend their omakase and salmon appetizer enough. Special thanks to Kathy, who had sublime recommendations and treated us like family. We can’t wait to return!!!
Walked with no reservations last night, with an hour to spare before a performance at Davies Hall and the staff were so kind, quick, and thoughtful. The omakase sashimi was fresh, seasonal and delicious, not the usual suspects. Subtle sauces that highlighted the flavor and texture of the fish. Finished with a scallop roll that was sublime. Next time I’m going to try the Lobster tempura or whatever season fare is on offer. Will come back again.
