Disappointing service at Omakase bar. Didn't feel like the engagement was there that you typically would have with the sushi chef and it wasn't even busy. Awkward staff that didn't say anything to you that huddled around. Noisy print out register nearby for orders. Sushi was pretty good. A variety that was enjoyable but the ambiance just wasn't there which was too bad for my friend's birthday celebration.

This was our first Omakase experience. First I’ll start with the two minor negatives- we were seated around the corner of the bar, which just didn’t feel as comfortable stuck up against the wall. The soup with mushrooms had a few small pieces of grit in it. The fish was incredible though- so fresh and perfectly seasoned. I don’t think I’ve ever had fish that good! Sushi will never be the same! The service was perfect. The chef was positive and friendly. Be prepared to shell out though- 3 people with 3 cocktails, hot tea and no dessert was $600! It was a special experience for us- and the birthday note on the bar was a nice touch.

We had the omakase at the sushi bar. The rice was sticky and not the right temperature, so didn’t complement the fish well. The chef/owner seemed to be going through the motions but didn’t care about the craft. 20% service charge as well on the bill. For the price, it’s not worth it.
