It's very tiny and very reminiscent of the actual Japan like size of smaller spaces and close seating. There is only one chef and one waitress which works for a small place. Anyways, the food is the out of this world and on another level. If you're looking for fresh fish and perfect sashimi/sushi. This is the place you're looking for. We ordered a few starters and some of the specials. The ono fish was super fresh and buttery. We looved the fresh eel roll. The freshness of their seafood is unmatched. This has become our favorite sushi joint from now on. The sweet shrimp was absolutely delectable. The ikura is fresh juicy and popping without being overly salty. The uni pasta was the only disappointment. Sushi and sashimi is the name of the game here. Ichiban oishi

The owner, Nakata, creates exceptional sushi, and the service is very attentive. If you arrive without a reservation, don't be upset about the lack of space—it's quite small, so just call ahead to avoid any issues. Also, keep in mind that this is not an all-you-can-eat place; this is genuine, authentic Japanese sushi.
