Fabulous, in every way.
Kinoko was amazing, deluxe sushi plate included more sashimi than advertised, including rarities like snapper and 3 different grades of tuna. Reasonably priced saki and the matcha tiramisu was decadent with perfect lady fingers.
One of the best sushi meals of my life.
Best sushi I’ve had in NYC. Hurry before you can’t get in!
Excellent sushi.
