I don’t mind paying, but not for the quality service I received for $170 omakase tax tip.

You could really taste the ocean in those scallops—absolutely amazing! The service was wonderful; our server even explained how to enjoy the toro tartare with seaweed. I also tried some sushi; you might think the portions are a bit small, but trust me, the top-quality makes it worth it. I will definitely be returning to check this place out again!

Oh my goodness... it was so delicious! We also enjoyed various tunas as nigiri sushi, a spicy salmon avocado roll, a California roll, more fatty tuna, and even a sea snail served in its shell. All of this paired beautifully with a large bottle of unfiltered sake from their well-stocked sake bar. It was an incredible sushi experience, truly one of a kind in the US.

Everything is very sourced and high quality. The delicate portions were perfect for us. Service was just enough but not too intrusive. Minimal look on the sushi counter. Very recommended to order a few dishes at a time and just enjoy slowly.
