As a loyal fan of Japanese cuisine, I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed. Despite the high online ratings and my high expectations for the sashimi, the quality was quite average and nothing remarkable. Additionally, the restaurant does not allow photography. These photos of the dishes were taken discreetly. I don't understand why photography is prohibited—are they afraid the quality will be exposed?

Wonderful place to get top quality sushi and service. The owners are very inviting and friendly. Every dish was skillfully plated and presented. If you find yourself in the area or even far away stop by and you will not regret it.

I felt as if I was back in Japan. Great quality of food and amazing service. You can also ask for a full menu since not everything is there on the list to fill out. Do not hesitate to ask for suggestions. They make food pard by part, not everything at once. Hygiene is good. I was there twice and both times I had to wait, it was worth it. Chefs are very approaching too! I would go there again! Btw, you can also take away if needed.

When I want good sushi - no frills, just solid, traditional, and quality sushi.. I go here.
Having worked at a mom/pop Japanese restaurant and coming back and forth to Japan, this place fits right where I like it. Just take my money. Whatever I have left of it just feed me this everyday.

Pretty disappointed, we were told our table would be ready soon/ in a few minutes and we ended up waiting 1h30 for a table of 3. (On a Monday) Multiple groups of two were served before us even tho they arrived after us. The food ended up being pretty average, and I was expecting better given how nice the atmosphere was. Honestly would not come back

I love the atmosphere here. It was like sitting in a cozy sushi bar in Tokyo. However the sushi taste is not my favorite. Scallop was too cold to be served. Sea urchin tasted creamy but the seaweed overwhelmed the flavor. Sweet shrimp was ok. If you like ankimo you have to ask, it is not in the menu but they have it.

My #1 go to sushi place. Hands down.
Unless I feel like just filling myself with sushi, if I want legit sushi, this is the place. Never disappointed. Chefs are so kind and vibe inside is so amazing

You might have to wait hr or two, but it is definitely worth the wait
Their Mackerel is my favorite too.

They have small menu but have exactly what I need.

Always thank you guys, and will support this place 100%
Please dont change!!

Very small but delicious spot to eat at, highly suggest coming here if you love sushi. Everything is very authentic and the food is to die for, don’t expect much ambiance or decor, just go here for the amazing fresh sushi, you won’t be disappointed.

We waited an hour to be seated, it’s popular and like I said, small. Went across the street and got a drink then when we returned we were seated. WORTH THE WAIT.
