    Garrett was an amazing server and made our entire experience unforgettable! The A5 Wagyu special was incredible — truly an experience like no other. The sushi was also unbelievably fresh and absolutely delicious. Everything from the service to the food exceeded expectations. Can’t wait to come back!

    Food was great. Best choice Nasu Kinoko with the butter sauce was delicious with umami of the mushroom and sauce saturating the eggplant slices. Kurobuta kakuni was tender and well flavored. We had 13 selections including sushi rolls and fish options which were all good. The overall rating was 4 star because after the initial order talking of drinks and couple starters it took awhile before we had to ask another server to assist us.

    Small modest restaurant with a minimal staff that is highly efficient, attentive, and overly pleasant. The food is amazing and well priced. There's ample parking. I had my social group attend a dinner on Thursday and everything was well prepared for us. We hope to return in a few weeks. Really excellent service and food. Strongly recommended!
