Such a lovely experience! The vibes were high, the atmosphere was amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We even had the chance to chat with the chef, who was just as lovely! The food was absolutely incredible. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

The sushi and sashimi were excellent, and the sushi rice outstanding. Chef skilled and meticulous. Service was on point and unobtrusive. Aspects that can be improved: the counter seems too high for the chairs they use; at this price point they should really have a waiter in the room at all times; pace of the course is a bit too slow —some of the dishes could have been prepared simultaneously/in the kitchen; drinks by the glass are very limited.
