An not rave enough about this restaurant! They have the most delicious and creative menu of various sushi rolls. Their seafood is super fresh. We waited 20 minutes on Friday night to be seated which was not bad all things considered. The waitstaff and the hostess were super friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered some wine and sake as well. I would recommend Wagiuy appetizer, uni sashimi, miso eggplant

Each plate is presented like a piece of art with vibrant colored sauces and subtle additions of flavor. This is a small and attentive restaurant with tantalizing sushi creations. Your line of credit will have to be stretched since it gets very expensive even without ordering dessert. Outdoor seating is spread out to give more privacy at each table. A great place to for date night.

The service was very good and good was overall ok. Went here I’ve before and it was amazing so I made the drive back. This time wasn’t as good. Still good though.

They don’t have their act together when it comes to takeout. Like others experienced they forgot the soy sauce and chopsticks. Fortunately I had my own.

This used to be my favorite sushi restaurant so this makes me really sad to write. The crab on the basil crab roll was clearly just taken out of the freezer, the salmon on our salmon nigiri had the dark skin on it and was so hard and chewy is wasn’t even edible. Our waitress, on Thursday night, was so mean to me specifically and then had an aggressive and rude attitude to the rest of my table when only 2 questions were asked about the menu. It made our whole experience so uncomfortable, I couldn’t wait to get out of there.

A fantastic little sushi restaurant tucked away. The speciality rolls were amazing, very fresh and unique. The assorted of wine and sake was long and the waitress was extremely helpful in picking the perfect sake. Don’t forget desert! I would highly recommend this to any sushi lover.

Excellent sushi. Line out the door before they open! So get there early. No reservations possible. Wagu carpaccio sounded good but was the least of all dishes. Basil flute was great. Short ribs were great.

Although the inside was bustling, this was a perfect place for a relaxing meal. I had the hamachi (yellowtail) habañero melt, the wagyu sashimi, a couple slices of toro (fatty tuna) nigiri, the miso eggplant, and a delightful cup of nigori sake.
