Wow, what can I say?! Amazing food and amazing service. Brandon, Brett, the head chef, amazing. I’m a sushi snob, I have 0, ZERO, complaints. The food surpasses your expectations, the location is beautiful, and you’ll leave happier than you arrived. I will be back, and I’ll be telling everyone where to go for the best sushi around. This is a must try, and order the premium experience. You won’t be disappointed!
This is fairly standard quality sushi presented in an Omakase fashion. This is less expensive than most Omakase I have been to previously, and the quantity of food you receive is enormous. The tradeoff is just the lower quality. Not bad by any means, just not exceptional.
Great sashimi and nigiri. Generous portions and great relaxing atmosphere. A great place if you are looking for quality sushi!
