in this sparsely and simply designed space, the focus is on the cuisine. the whole meal was excellent, from the presentation and preparation to each (or most) sensational piece served during the omakase. lots of fresh toro and yellowtail and much more. some of the best bites of sushi (nigiri) i’ve had. minimalist, yet all so good.

We did the omakase dinner service with the 3 add on options of Uni, Wagyu, and I think Ikura was 3rd?
Everything was amazing, incredibly fresh. The team running nimblefish is excellent and service was such a great experience from start to finish. We also split 2 sake bottles between the 3 of us.

I had some of the most incredible bites of food I’ve ever experienced in my life!!! This place was amazing. There is very limited seating so it feels really intimate. The chefs were incredibly talented and it was so cool to see them make each piece right in front of you! The servers were kind and experienced. The sake list was WOW amazing. Great place for a date night if you’re wanting to try something new! But be warned - it will ruin all other sushi for you 😭
