If you're a picky eater, avoid it. If you're on a tight budget, avoid it. If you like the best quality, like to try new things, and are willing to pay for it - get a reservation if you can. This place is one of a kind and I cannot wait to go back.

I somehow got lucky enough to get a single spot. He heard I was a single and said if I came at 5 I could get a seat.
I found out later that the entire year of 2025 is booked. It took one week to fill up.
That's the reputation the man has built. And I say well deserved.
The food was amazing and the service too. Everything was great and 10/10 would do it again.

I want to start this by saying....I love this place. It is absolutely some of the best food I have eaten in my entire life. The problem with that is, for the past several years, it has become impossible to ever eat here again apparently. Told to call on a certain day to make a reservation for the past 2 years, this year 10/15/24, only to get a call back informing they are all booked up for the following year. I give up!!!! No point in trying if you have one day to make a reservation, calling on said day, and still not getting a reservation....

Please don't go here it's too crowded already. I'm just kidding. Whatever you like, sushi, pasta, or stakes It'sthe best. I personally love the guacamole marinated tuna. It's has such a lush mouth feel I've ordered it every time for years
Amazing experience! I'm looking forward to coming back.

I find the menu confusing for a sushi restaurant. The sushi quality at the University Dr. Krogers is consistently better for a fraction of the cost. Perhaps if he focused on only the fish it would be better.

This restaurant might appeal to locals in Denton, but it falls short for the broader DFW audience. The sushi quality is disappointingly low, especially when opting for Omakase. There's a lack of special sushi or rolls, offering typical sushi restaurant fare. The Omakase experience was further marred by the inclusion of Italian food. We paid around $450 for three people, but considering the subpar experience, one could find a better dinner elsewhere. here around DFW area.

We waited a while to get reservation here and were so excited. There were 7 of us. I felt like the chef was phoning it in, he didn't seem interested in engaging with us despite the fact that we were in very close quarters, I rarely understood what we were eating. It was all good but nothing notably mind-blowing. I think all 7 of us left feeling like we had overpaid for something that was overhyped.
It's a little hole in the wall. You have to have a reservation and you better prep yourself. Cozy sushi bar area seating around 10. They have a small table in a separate room and a small bartop. The food is prepared by the owner in front of you if you choose sushi. He apparently trained under an Italian for a while and the tiramasu is to die for ( both the normal and the green tea). We chose to have the chefs choice for our meal and it was chosen well!!! The food is priced a little high but you get what you pay for. If you leave there unsatisfied, I would say you intended to. 5 out of 5. I just wish I could find another reservation this year!

We were so excited to finally eat here. After trying to get in for two years we were thrilled to finally get a reservation. Food was incredibly high quality and excellently prepared. Highly the beef and jalapeño cream cheese rolls and the Kinoko pasta.We also loved the other fish that we ate. Can’t wait to come back!

We waited months for our RSVP. Well worth the wait!! There wasn’t one dish we tried that fell short. Every dish was memorable. The service was great. My wife loved the Tasman Sea Trout. The Squid with Hawaiian red salt and lime and the Spicy Tuna Tar Tar were ??. Don’t leave without having the Green Tea tiramisu. We look forward to our next RSVP!!
Absolutely the BEST!!! Incredible servings!!!
