Wonderful service, amazing omakase, perfect location and very very reasonable prices. It's BYOB but if you want to drink there's a place just down the street to grab exactly what you want, but the ambiance, value and food is just terrific - with Omakase for under $100. It is not one of the top 2-3 Omakase places so if you're looking to blow $250-$500 a head, go to one of those. If you're looking for a romantic date night or a chill place to hang with friends, this is the place. Been going here ever since it opened and have not been disappointed once. Tell your friends - you will not be disappointed.

Everything was delicious but especially the snapper crudo, rock shrimp tempura, and nori tacos with toro. I miss the gin cocktail though!

Awesome spot with really well priced omakase options. We had a well versed sake sommelier who was happy to chat with us about the sakes we chose. We were also pleasantly surprised by the karaoke room at the end of the meal which we must have missed was included with the reservation. Fun times! Highly recommend for small groups.

Selections were excellent, Service very attentive and friendly in both Japanese and English. Sake choices and guidance were also very good. our second visit and since they change courses with the seasons we plan to visit at least 4 times per year. If you like Kaiseki and can afford the cost I highly recommend this restaurant.
