    Shockingly fresh sushi (everything we ordered!) in this hole in the wall - highly recommend! Even did the high end sushi place thing where sometimes sushi is seasoned / specific approach to the sushi is recommended based on seasonality / preparation. This is going to be our neighborhood spot for sure. Don’t sleep on this place!

    The food and service here were both really good. Unfortunately, I thought the prices were too high for what I got. A few of the dishes on the menu seem overpriced compared to similar restaurants in the area.

    They don't answer or return calls. No menu online. Hours online are incorrect/incomplete from voice message.

    Visited from the midwest and was told to stop here. What a beautiful experience. The fish was so delicate and delightfully prepared. The rice was out of this world. A quaint and memorable experience in the big city!

    To give fair warning to anyone going in the first time: It's required to order a minimum of 4 items per person at a table and 5 per person if sitting at the bar. Sitting at the bar also means that the chef decides what you eat. With that caveat out of the way the sushi was absolutely the best I've ever had. Many of the dishes had sauces put into them while being made and were recommended to be eaten without anything added to them. I followed that advice and didn't regret it for a moment. The fish melted in the mouth and, even as a person who enjoys spicy foods but doesn't handle them well, the spicy sauce put into each item was superbly done and never caused me any problems. Each individual part was designed to perfectly compliment the main ingredient. I do have to specifically mention that the eel was stunningly delectable and now heads my "best sushi item ever" list. The staff was incredibly nice and unfailingly polite even though I came in a bare 30 minutes before they closed. The restaurant was small but delightfully proportioned to allow close seating without feeling crowded. The place seemed quite clean and well kept, the music selection was nice and provided excellent background to the idle talk, and the location makes it into a hidden gem nestled between other businesses. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to delight their palate and appreciate a small and quiet meal. I personally intend to make a more regular habit of visiting.
