We ordered 3 rolls and 2 hand rolls and it was the perfect amount. The chefs #1 roll was our absolute favorite! Could not get enough of it. We also got the lemon and yuzu roll which were both very delicious as well. I would definitely come back here. The fish was fresh and service was great. Only downside was because it's in the middle of DTLA there's not a lot of parking on the street. However it's right across from Japanese village which is attached to a parking structure. Just be mindful you'll have to pay.

The Assorted Sashimi was fun for the two of us to each try 6 premium pieces. Everything tasted fresh and high quality with a different garnish accompanying each piece! The cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy to munch on in between sushi bites. Their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice surprised me with an arrangement of flavors and textures that went together magically. I would have gotten a second order if stomach space wasn't a concern. Next we had the Yellowtail Sashimi, which of course had sliced jalapeño on top. I don't care how many restaurants put that out, it's always fantastic. The only roll we got was the Cherry Blossom roll, I was intrigued by the menus indication that it didn't have rice. A large roll with 11 pieces came out that was 95% fish, the remaining 5% being bits of avocado and two sauces that paired exquisitely. It tasted excellent. Our server recommended their Kid Season sake which was exactly what I was looking for: filtered and semi sweet. Highly recommend!

We tried the miso soup, spicy tuna crispy rice, the toro toast, one of the nigiri sets, and also the truffle eel. Quality of fish is surprisingly good! Toro toast I've never heard of and was excited to try. It's a no 1 hit in this restaurant. Love the caviar on top. There's a sauce on the toast which is on the creamier side, but it balances out well together. Spicy tuna crispy rice was massive and nice portion as an appetizer. It is thick and crispy.

The sashimi lunch was plentiful and fish was so fresh and delish that I was transported back to Japan with the taste.

It was definitely not what I've expected or ever experienced in a Japanese restaurant. We were quickly greeted by the staff and be seated by the wall. The upholstery of our seats were torn. The area where we were sitting was a bit too dark and could definitely add more lights for customers to see their menus. After giving a look at the menu, our server asked if we were ready. I said it's our first time so we need some time to look through the menu. She replied ok and left. We mainly ordered sushi items. Servers brought over each item one at a time. When I almost finished mine, my family is still waiting for theirs. You do see the staff walk by the tables constantly. However, I would hope the servers would ask how is everything and if we need anything else. Overall, sushi tastes fine. I probably won't be back given the experience that we had.

The atmosphere is great if you love intimate bar seating, the service is warm and cordial, and the drinks are very good. I also really liked the amount and variety of dishes served outside of the nigiri, so the meal felt substantial and well paced. The food itself was good and well executed, but for the price point, I was hoping for something more memorable or distinctive. A lot of the dishes and flavor profiles felt very familiar and similar to what I've had at many other more traditional omakase experiences. Nothing was bad by any means, but there wasn't a particular bite or flavor combination that surprised me or stayed with me afterward. The second time I came here, they had firefly squid (in season) which was a delight. If you're newer to sushi or omakase, I think this would be a great experience. But if you eat omakase frequently, there are other places around this price point that I think offer something a little more unique or memorable.

The tofu sampler was very solid in my opinion, which if you like a strong soy flavor, this appetizer is for you. I've never had tofu presented this way so it was a unique experience, although loosely reminds me of the Chinese version of tofu dessert but firmer. Fun to interact with the different salt adds too. The chirashi set bowl was also an excellent value for what you get. It definitely fills you up and the fish cuts are very nice. They even offer to fry your shrimp head to add to the experience. Also I think the service was great. There was clearly a new person in training so she may have messed up our tofu sampler presentation by perhaps pairing the wrong salt with the wrong tofu but the regular staff was quick to address. The newer member also charged us a beer by accident but that was corrected too.
