Had an excellent meal here, the fish was very fresh, and Rodrigo (our Sushi chef) personally took great care of us. He was engaging, took a proper pace to serve us, and delivered multiple courses of great nigiri. Our waitress kept checking in and brought our beverages promptly. Will definitely go back again.

This place opened about 7 months ago, and it right across from the new Chef Fei restaurant which had a long line and glad we had reservations here. From the moment we walked in, we felt very welcomed. Sebastian greeted us warmly, got us seated, and shared so many great recommendations from the menu. For some reason, I wasn’t able to check in on Yelp or upload photos, but that didn’t take away from the experience at all. The service and decor were impeccable from start to finish. Everything we ordered came out fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We tried quite a few dishes, and my personal favorite was the baked snow crab wrapped in soy paper. We also had the Tomahawk short rib and Lobster Mentaiko pasta, both of which were incredibly impressive. We were a little surprised they didn’t have the miso black cod available, but to be fair, we did arrive about an hour before closing. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with great food, attentive service, excellent customer care, and beautiful decor. We’ll definitely be back!

Our waiter, Ken, was awesome. So personable, professional and nice all over. Great service! Best seafood I've had in a very long time. So great we are going back for Thanksgiving dinner. This is going to be our go to restaurant in the future. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Place is very popular and the noise level is as you would expect. Seating is reasonably fast - I had a reservation - and the service was great. Good came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I didn't understand the ordering, put my check mark in the wrong place and got two rolls I didn't order. It was my fault so I took them and they were delicious. Awesome place.
