    The fish is good quality, but there's nothing special about the food. I was really disappointed that the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink, didn't provide a drink menu, then suggested we have sake. Later on the bill I learned that the sake costs $31 per glass. We only ordered one glass, but they brought us two. Feels really pushy and bad value. Never had this happen to me at another restaurant

    I’ve been here several times and I love it each time. They always are able to accommodate my gluten allergy.

    Chef Mitzu know how to have a good time. Every piece is fun and unique. Fun experience though cocktails are Manhattan level pricey.

    Always great to experience omakase with Mitsu. Food was amazing - no surprise. Really appreciate how Mitsu interacts with you throughout the meal. Definitely will be going back again.

    Went here for our 10 year anniversary and we were blown away by the entire experience. We did the 17 course omakase and every course was amazing. We will definitely be going back!

    Terrible. Low quality fish that they have only used for Valentine’s Day, no open bar which they didn’t disclose ahead of time, could not order a la carte after which they didn’t disclose, and no hand rolls which they promised

    This was my first omakase and I’m so happy with the experience. We did the 17 course package and it was definitely worth it. The fish was all extremely fresh and delicious. The first 12 are a prefixed menu and everything was very tasty. Chef Mitsu was amazing and gave us some really incredible bites based on our tastes for the last 5 courses. Highly recommend!
