We love sushi and try it pretty much everywhere we go. Our sushi rolls were pretty decent. We tried the sweet potato, oshinko, yellowtail and scallion, the peanut avocado, and the spicy mango shrimp rolls. Everything tasted pretty great and we were happy with the quality of the food. The atmosphere was nice. It was a quiet little spot, tucked away, with an intimate atmosphere. As we were sitting there they added fresh flowers to all the tables. The restaurant and the bathrooms...
Everything was perfect perfect perfect!!! Somehow they were able to make the most basic components of the meal flavorful. I’m used to getting crappy miso soup on the side that tastes like powdery water, and tea that’s been oversteeped. But every small detail was made to perfection- I got the chicken katsu and the dish was served in separate portions of chicken, rice, and sauce to avoid sogginess. Just 10/10 meal. Great service too
Lovely decor and quick service. However, I specifically asked for Soba noodles...dark, buckwheat as I wanted to be sure to get that. Waiter was dismissive and brought me my dish and it had white noodles. He said it was buckwheat and that some factories make different color. Come on. I just kept the dish to not make a fuss but researched afterwards and he was dishonest.
