    The server was very kind and attentive. The food was delicious, the wide array of appetizers was wonderful and the omakase nigiri sashimi combo was delightful and worth its price. For dessert the matcha cream brulee, it was great. Will be coming again

    Visited here for my partner and I's 19th anniversary. We started with the edamame and sunomono with octopus and ordered four rolls: the Jameson, NW spicy, wagyu, and yama roll. I drank a local sake, the excellent and underrated Momokawa diamond and my wife had two cocktails. Everything was excellent. The atmosphere was a bit quiet (though our anniversary falls on St. Patrick's Day, a Monday this year). There were probably cozier more romantic places to be seated in the restaurant, but everything else was great. We would come back for great sushi, but maybe not for a romanti evening out.

    We sat at the counter and ordered the rolls recommended by the chef. They were absolutely delicious—each bite bursting with freshness and high-quality ingredients. The chef was not only skilled but also warm and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I wanted to try Sake but wasn’t sure which one to choose. After describing my preferences to the waiter, he thoughtfully brought us three different Sakes to sample. Once we selected our favorite, he explained the traditional way to drink it, adding a special touch to the experience. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was truly a fantastic dining experience—one I would highly recommend!
