Very intimate neighborhood BYOB sushi spot. Not many tables in the restaurant and no music was playing, so you could hear a lot of chatter.The must have on the menu is the brussel sprouts - OMG so delicious! I will be dreaming of them.The portion size of the sushi seemed small, and I got the shrimp tempura roll where 2 out of the 6 pieces had tails on them. I am not personally a fan of that, so 1/3 of the roll was almost inedible. The flavors were good and everything was fresh.

Came in on a Friday without a reservation, but the staff was really accommodating and I got a table super quickly! Reservation is definitely recommended though. The sushi was sooo delicious and it was ready very quickly despite it being a busy night! Definitely will be coming back!

I tried this cute place out with a friend recently. It is tucked away on a quiet Fairmount street, so I didn't realize there was a restaurant here until I was upon it - what a delightful surprise! It's cozy and intimate, BYOB, and would be a great place for a date (though was also wonderful for my catch-up with a friend). The service is kind and a nice balance of attentive but hands off - the waiters check in occasionally but not so often that you're bothered or getting caught...read full review
