The chef was very attentive and explained every ingredient for me (which I appreciate). Friendly service from the team and just overall good vibes! :) Honestly I’m not used to spending this much money on a single meal but I’ll say this is well worth it. If you are ever considering coming here, just do yourself a favor and pay a visit to this place! I’m a bit sad that I’m just visiting Kansas City; I wish I can come here everyday.

“Amazing! We put off visiting this local spot down the street for too long. Finally made it over for my birthday and it was incredible. The rustic decor and intimate atmosphere were just an awesome compliment to the simple, grounded but deep meal. We talked about all the flavors we were still experiencing long after we cleared a plate. The coctails were top notch but were outshined by the curated sake flight. No notes, simply perfect, we will be back.
Edit: got home and checked our recipt and realized that we never got one of our appetizers. Unfortunate, but I can't bring myself to lower my rating from 5 stars it was that good!“

“Very good Bento Box. Like honestly I was very impressed by the food. It smelled a bit fishy in there, but of course it is a sushi place. Oh and that little candy thing they give at the end of the meal that's no bigger than a pill is my new favorite hard candy and the entire trip is worth it just for that tiny little piece of heaven.“
