First time visit, and won’t be the last. The nigiri and fish quality is spectacular and I got to try all their salmon varieties which makes me very happy!More food stuff @vin.foodjournal

Came here pretty close to opening and it was quiet and pretty empty. Food thought is really good. Got only sushi and have no complaints. I did get the plum wine and I really like it. I don't like tasting alcohol so this is some nice juice! Service though is the best, they came by often making sure we were doing well.

Walked in just before 8p (restaurant closes at 8:30p). No one was in the FOH. Sushi chef tells a woman in front of us to hold on a moment. He goes to the back and a young man comes out and the woman explains that she is by herself and that we (me and one other person) were separate from her. He tells all three of us, oh well we close at 8:30p so this will be last call. She let him take her to a table. We turned around and left and went to Sapporo Rock and Roll down the street where all of the food—especially the sushi—is excellent and the people are warm and friendly. …I guess I feel like if you want to stop serving at 8p, maybe you should close at 8p.I worked FOH, BOH, and management in restaurants for over 8 years. I get it that people want to go home, but I’ve also worked restaurants through the ‘08 recession and know now that prepared food is a luxury and learned to be grateful for all the business that came our way when it came, even if it was at the end of the night. We work in the hospital now and sometimes we can’t get to a restaurant until 8 or 8:30. It’s very annoying that so many restaurants here close before 9p and intolerable to be hurried before we even have a table. If you are open, we are going to try to come.

We found this neighborhood sushi place now that things have started opening up. Luckily it was their first day for indoor dining. We tried red dragon, spicy California and kaori roll. We loved all three of them. Everything was well crafted. Edamame was okay. We plan to visit again for trying some other rolls.Service was great, people are really warm and welcoming there. Highly recommend

I celebrated my nomination last night in this delicious restaurant. I am glad to say that we had a enjoyable evening and the venue was no doubt one of the reasons for the successful event. The team cooperated in a lovely manner, the cuisine was very good and my buddies were very glad. We shall surely come back again for more events. thanks very much.

I've eaten there many times, or more recently picked up food to go, and I've always gotten good quality fresh fish...
