    This was a really good experience my first time being there it was really busy for a Saturday of course that probably why the noise level was high. We were also sat next to a birthday dinner , but we didn’t mind at all!. The food and drinks made up for everything. They gave us special food that they were just putting on the menu and a complementary dessert. The waiter Luke was absolutely amazing , barely had to wait on anything everybody was very nice!! 1000/10 will be recommending to everybody I know! Can’t wait to come back !!

    Came in for a quick bite! Everything we had was fabulous. One of my favorite sushi restaurants to go to when I fly in from New York. Had the toro which was to die for! Had the tuna tartare on crispy rice, the kimchi wagyu beef dumplings and my husband had the tuna and salmon avocado rolls. Normally I don’t eat salmon but here I do! I only wish there was a place that had this type of service, ambience and to die for amazing and fresh sushi in New York, which you would think existed!
