The service was excellent! We sat upstairs and it was the perfect vibe for a birthday party: pink lighting, fun music and beautiful cherry blossoms everywhere. The spicy coconut shrimp was delicious. We had the lobster and ribeye skewers. My picky eater had the fries and pineapple. The birthday girl enjoyed the Cali roll and TLC. I'm not a big sushi eater but enjoyed the tempura shrimp. Only down side of the restaurant was the tight seating and overbearing smell of cigars when you enter the building.

The food and the atmosphere were amazing! Our waiter was not great. He took awhile to visit the table and once he came finally he didn't even ask for our drink order. He barely checked on us and I feel like at a small plate restaurant you should check on the table often to add extra food. It took him forever to bring us the bill when I finally asked for it, it took even longer for it to get to us. I would come again, but hopefully not get his section.
The restaurant is upstairs!!! We almost didn’t go because the first level had a lone, sad-looking figure and was otherwise empty. There is a second story! The food was amazing, the service was personable, the price point was surprising (happy hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays). I recommend the calimari and nirvana sushi.

The food was good. The beef skewers had a really good taste which had house seasoning, they were pretty small - would not consider that as a plate. The Nirvana sushi I got were actually really good as I like salmon and caviar. Compared with another favorite sushi place, Saku Yakitori overpriced their rolls. The waiter was kind of avoiding eye contact and when asked about recommendations didn’t give any details of value.

NOT A SUSHI place.
Just a bar with LOUD OBNOXIOUS music that they refused to turn down and a horrible perfume trying to hide the tobacco smell. The “SUSHI” menu is CRINGE… Just avoid if you want sushi. If you want a stinky & loud bar, this will work.

Gone here once before, was honestly really good. Went here the other day and the quality of the food has just really gone downhill.
