Food and service were amazing. Always love a sushi restaurant with fresh wasabi. Only suggestion - list it $$$ instead of $$. Spent over $200 on dinner for two and two glasses of wine. Worth it!

The food and service was amazing, I would highly recommend going to sample the delicious food. The highlights for me were the hamachi crudo and the kalbi ribs but every thing we had was great, and don’t skip the cocktails!
