"The service team, under Jennifer's guidance, adds to the overall amazing dining experience – they're attentive, cordial, and exceptionally knowledgeable."
"Service was quick and our server was wonderful."
"Our server was very kind."
"The treatment of the waitress was extraordinary."
"The service we received was great."
"Service was impeccable with very attentive staff."
"Very attentive staff and lovely service; no long waiting times."
Cons:
"When we informed the hostess that was what we wanted, she said that we couldn’t move and that if we left she would have to list as a ‘no show’ and would maybe be charged $50."
"Was ready for one last piece but he rushed me out saying his next seating was ready."
"A guy (staff) come to ask us to leave in very RUDE way."
"Our server failed to let us know that the tip was included."
"The chef was grumpy and seemed irritated that we were eating at the countertop."
"The staff don't have enough training and aren't familiar with the menu."
"We were asked if we would like any additional servings. Upon requesting more, I was told that our seats had to be vacated."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The crispy rice was so good that we ordered another round for our party of 6."
"Pieces of tuna melting on the tongue."
"Fish are fresh."
"Huge props to the chef for their salmon roe roll."
"The food was fantastic."
"Not only does everything melt in your mouth (like the tuna crispy rice!!) you can taste the quality."
"The EEL was amazing."
Cons:
"Most of the white fish pieces were so flavorless, I found myself just chewing through to get them over with."
"Wagyu is dry and chewy."
"The shari (rice) of the sushi is extremely bad, taste as rice done by me at home."
"2/20 pieces were still frozen at the center, and 3/20 felt past best-date."
"The food was very bland at best."
"The fish is nothing special, looks and tastes like supermarket fish."
"The Wagyu and Uni roll, however, was bland, and not what I was hoping for."
Ambiance
Pros:
"Interior design was fairly cozy with dimmed lights and music in the background."
"In a city with a million restaurants this is a gem and I loved it."
"The ceilings are high and there is a great sushi counter if you are alone or just two."
"They are always playing up-beat music that is not too loud and lights that are warm and relaxing."
"The atmosphere was fun and relaxed."
"The ambiance isn't bad either, with its laid-back decor and a nicely done outdoor seating area."
"Nice small spot great service and vibe."
Cons:
"The music was super loud and vulgar (lots of swearing)."
"It’s ridiculously small and uni not even fresh."
"It's not really to relax and enjoy your time eating, because everything is rushed."
"The outdoor seats seemed like they were made for unusually tall aliens."
"I was asked to leave in the middle of dinner because there was a 'VIP' client."
"You spend a lot of money to dine in 30min ($200) in a place without music and white & strong lights."
"Rice was mushy, Rice was cold, Rice was DENSE."
Value
Pros:
"Highly recommend this place for a quick quality omakasa experience with excellent price."
"Bang for your buck, not another place in the city where you get this much for a very reasonable price."
"The regular 12 piece Omakase is very reasonable relative to NYC Omakase."
"Very reasonable pricing and we even order some of their sushi on the secret menu.. the big Mac and the caviar supreme."
"For a $65, 12-course omakase that comes with A5 Wagyu and O-toro, what else to ask for?"
"It is VERY fairly priced for an omakase."
"Great value considering you’re getting fatty tuna and a5 wagyu as part of the course."
Cons:
"Subpar food, grumpy chef, rushed service and very overpriced for the experience!"
"Ordered 2 x Omakase 12 pieces for two people... We felt like we didn't enjoy the food we ate and paid 200 usd for nothing."
"The sushi was ok but way overpriced."
"For the same price in NY u will find better options as Shinn East, Nami Nori, between many others."
"The sushi quality was not commensurate with the price point."
"Good quality but the $120 tasting menu is very boring."
"You left kinda hungry still, and they really rushed you out in 45 mins."
