- MDMax DengOct 5, 20255.0This is by far our favorite spot in the capital region, not just for sushi but also for drinks. Even with a core menu that stays the same, the chefs (special shoutout to Carl!) do such a great job adding little tweaks that make the pieces feel like they change with the season. The bougie pieces are always some of the most memorable culinary experiences. With the quality, it's a challenge every time not to splurge on some of the deluxe pieces, but we've never ever regretted doing so. Finally, I can't say enough good things about the service - Sam always does such a great job making sure that the guests are well taken care of
- CPCierra Leo PassinoSep 28, 20255.0I was able to make a reservation a few days in advance for my husband’s birthday, but I called same day to make a special request/accomodation. I didn’t expect anything, but the hostess, the bartender, and the chef all went above and beyond in their accommodations and I’m extremely awestruck and thankful. What an amazing place. In addition, every bite was immaculate. It’s an extremely unique, immersive dining experience that starts when you enter the building and goes till you leave. I wish I got your names but thank you all SO MUCH!
- CTChris TsoSep 28, 20255.0Super cool chef. Bites were all delicious. Still can't figure it out, but somehow the Big Mac of sushi works.
- BGBenjamin GotzmannSep 7, 20255.0This restaurant is fantastic! The ambiance is lively and enjoyable, and the sushi is incredible. The quality of the food is exceptional, surpassing all of the other sushi places I’ve been to in the area. Everything here is fresh and flavorful. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, making the overall dining experience even better. I’ve been here multiple times and the food is consistently great. It’s well worth the money!
- KRKlara RaymondSep 1, 20255.010/10 would absolutely recommend. We were able to get a reservation a couple days ahead. It was within walking distance from the hotel but there's a handful of parking lots around and I believe street parking (but not entirely sure). We showed up a little early and were sat at the other end of the bar before our reservation started. It was a quiet and dark atmosphere. We ordered two cocktails which were both amazing (unfortunately unable to recall their names, one was a special recommended by the bartender). Once the dinner started, it was prompt service. We did order the caviar upgrade and the sake pairing. They provided the sake and provided guidance on which to drink before which servings. Everything was top quality and tasted amazing, it's really hard to choose which ones were a favorite. We did also order the Waygu Uni at the end. Service was great, drinks were awesome and I would definitely recommend coming here.
