It took them 1 hour and 30 minutes to make 5 pieces of sushi for us each. Was the quality good, yes. Overall freshness of the fish was definitely there. However I received phone calls about the length of our reservation being an hour and a half and that’s very true. The menu suggests having 5 pieces and that you’ll be full on those 5 pieces. My friend and I were not satisfied and needed to go elsewhere afterwards. We were starving. It looked to me that the 2 sushi chefs at the bar were making the pieces for every my single person in the restaurant and that basically because they’re low staffed is the reason you really can only get 5 pieces each. The timing between each piece was incredibly slow and left us sitting there wanting more. For 90 minutes we basically received a piece of sushi every 18 minutes it was insane. Not sure I’d go back. We paid $100 each. We also got 2 appetizers which were teeny tiny.

Have eaten here a few times and always has been great. Brought my 16 year old here for dinner and we had a seat at the bar. Literally, one of the most rushed dinners ever. Pieces were coming out before we had even finished the last. We were told we had 1 hour and 30min when we booked. From start to finish we were done in about 35-40min. Would probably think twice about coming here again.

It was such a great experience. I have been to the one in Manhattan few times and the menu here is very slightly different but still the foods were amazing.

One our favorite gluten free restaurants to go to. We’ve been to the one in Brooklyn and Montclair. The appetizers were great, especially the tempura and nori salad. The makis were great also. We will be back again!
