My husband and I got the chicken karaage to start, enjoyed a bottle of sake, then we did the 10-piece omakase. Loved the creative spin on some of the nigiri. Many of the flavors blended so well together, but nothing overpoweredthe fish, which was great. Some of the freshest fish I’ve ever had. Service was amazing as well.

It rivals the great places in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. Their roles are a better value, but I can't resist the sashmi and nigiri. You also get fish that are uncommon in many other sushi restaurants, such as Shima Aji , New Zealand Salmon, and Kanpachi. My favorite by far is Shima Aji and my second favorite is Kanpachi (which they were out of when I last visited).
