More than fine sushi, with great selection of first-rate nigiri, sashimi, and rolls. Servers are kind, patient & helpful. As dessert they serve matcha panna cotta, truly phenomenal. The owners also run a popular matcha coffee shop next door. Well done!

Came here on a Saturday night for a celebratory dinner with the family. We each ordered the Omakase, and it was amazing. Such a fun variety of tastes and textures. The pacing was perfect, and the service was nicely attentive, without being overbearing. The waiter described each piece of sushi as it arrived, and my only wish is that there would have been some sort of mini menu, so I can remember what I ate.
