This has been my favorite Omakase experience of all. It is a bit pricier than some omakase’s but it is worth the extra money, every single piece was incredible, especially the first dish. Their Valentines special was amazing and I would definitely come back again next year again!

The food was amazing. Very bright, playful, and flavorful for this year’s orchid show. I had the Salmon cooked medium and it had a luscious fullness with a beautiful crispy skin. If you do dessert try the nube de guava. The cute trifle will definitely make you smile.
