Fantastic food and service. Make sure to order 18 piece set meal

My first time trying omakase, and start learning to really appreciate the true texture of the food and the hard work of the chef! Very impressed by the considerations they put into how they integrated fruity, applewood smoky, and crunchy textures into different fish. Try it out yourself to get a feel!

What a selection of unique flavors. The highlight was the citrus spice scallop. An amazing 18 course meal. Waitress did hit on me at the end tho. but in a cute way. This is my 2nd favorite spot out of 4 omakases i’ve been.

Loved everything about it - our waitress Yan was so sweet and personable, the food was incredible to taste and look at (think The Menu without the tension), and I got to try so many new and delicious dishes! Also - the plum wine was divine and can't recommend it enough. Each round of courses is at a set time with a set number of people (goes for about 2 hours), so you need to make a reservation!

Staff is friendly. Several of the states are very creative and top notch. The fish and many of the dishes are fresh and well prepared.

WOW. You should eat here. I can’t say enough about the incredible service or the great food. We’re definitely selective with our food choices and we were more than happy. Thank you to Gary, Bill and the entire team for a wonderful evening.

Decent omakase spot - as someone who has omakase almost every weekend in nyc, I’m basing my comparison to a middle of the way omakase in NYC. The food was good but could’ve been fresher. If you like your cuts of fish to be big, you’ll like this place it just isn’t my personal preference.

I’m not a big review writer but this place is fantastic - the staff is super friendly and the food is phenomenal. It was one of the best omakase/ sushi experiences I’ve had. Everything was very fresh and inventive and the service was excellent.

For the price this place is a great value when compared to other similarly priced omakase joints in Boston in general. Both the chefs and the host were fantastic to talk to, and the food pairings were great as well.

INCREDIBLE food, truly an amazing experience and wonderful staff that love explaining what they do. The chefs have an extreme attention to detail and you can see them working on perfecting each dish as it comes out, always correcting and discussing amongst themselves. A wonderful experience.

What a great meal and dining experience! Every one of the 18 courses was delicious and the sake pairings delightful. The staff was both attentive and engaging. It is expensive but well worth it.

My partner & I love to try omakase’s in different states/cities and cannot say enough good things about this one. Although the food wasn’t the best we’ve ever had (still very very good & complete), the service made it such a top notch omakase experience. Server was incredibly nice & informative, constantly asking how we’re doing and accommodating. Chefs were great as well at describing every dish. Absolutely love this place and would love to come back when we get the chance to visit from Texas again.

Excellent experience again. Nice to see the dishes change a decent amount since last time. The only suggestion I have is not to overdo the toppings...e.g. sometimes there was too much scallions which overpowered the taste of the fish. Loved all the yuzu usage.
