THere are a lot of things to love about this spot. The food is not one of them, at least not the…read morenight we went. It starts out really neat. You are ushered back through a curtain into a speakeasy style omekase that seats 14. You're taken to your spot at the bar and greeted with a drink menu. Chef already in place. I grabbed an Yuzu honey bee, which is made with Maker's Mark, honey syrup, yuzu, and pink peppercorn. As they are using a non-rye bourbon (Makers is 70% corn, 16% red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley), the peppercorn adds a bite of a bite you expect with a good rye. Thumbs up. The preparation, interaction and the atmosphere are all top notch. I can't say the same for the food. I am sure the cuts were high end, but many of the items tasted old, giving it a taste that was not much better than supermarket sushi on some of the bites. The artistry was top notch, but the fish was off. I had great engagement with the chef, who is orginally from South America. Andy, who I have known for a long time from Black Dynasty, came in for the next round (we only required 1 chef, as there were only 4 people doing the experience). I give a full thumbs up on the atmosphere and experience. If the sushi had rung the same bell, this could have easily been a 5 star. I imagine this is not the normal experience one has here as I am seeing a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews of the spot. Not sure if it was a slow weekend and they did not sell enough and figured they had one more day or something else, but I was thankful I did not add on and stuck with the special only. As they are now running the $55 special Sunday through Thursday, I have a feeling they either are not hitting with the tourist crowd or others have been in the same boat. It is a shame, as the experience is excellent.

Such a fun omakase experience!…read more The ambiance of this spot is upscale but relaxed. There was plenty of seating to grab a drink and hang out before being sat for dinner, and the bartender/server were very attentive. My partner and I arrived early, and we ordered a couple of cocktails from the bar. I ordered the Lost in Tokyo which was delicious, but I thought it was a little odd that it was served over ice for a drink with a coconut milk base. It watered down the cocktail too quickly. My partner got the Can't be Tamed, and it was the perfect spicy marg. Once we were sat the courses were incredible. The flavors were complimentary of each other in every bite, and there was not a single course I didn't like! The best bites were probably the fatty tuna and the surf-n-turf. The chefs were fun and chatty and kept the upbeat vibes going. I also thought the sake toast was a fun addition. This meal was paced perfectly, and I'd definitely come again when they are running another special.

Although the menu doesn't specify tofu availability, the waitress was able to direct me to vegetarian friendly options easily. They had unique, fusion cocktails that were delicious! The food was mostly good but the spice ranges were a bit off. I usually order medium spice at restaurants but unfortunately got almost no spice in my dish. I'd keep that in mind when ordering! They gave us chili oil to help the dishes after, but the original spice levels are much lower than expected. There's plenty of street parking around the restaurant. Would recommend!

Happy hour had great drink options, and the service from the manager Luna, host Awn, and bartender Sam was warm and seamless. Amazing food, thoughtful atmosphere, and genuinely kind staff.

They book out 6 weeks in advance; with only 14 seats and 3 seatings per night, they are sold out in seconds when they go on sale at midnight. I have lucked out twice, once even getting a duo, so not impossible, but not easy. When you enter, you walk into a small bar area, where you can order a cocktail or two. I opted for the Shibuyu Nights, which had a slight coffee note on top of the whisky and bourbon. At the prescribed time, you are led into the omekase and the experience begins. Cue fanfare music now. This is nearly the definition of perfection. Each dish was both art and culinary genius. Pacing is perfect. Chefs interact with the patrons, enhancing the experience and the wait staff is well versed on which types of sake work best with different course. At the end of the meal you can add on extras, some from the menu and others off. If you are not full, I recommend considering the add ons. Kudos to the chef for handling my shellfish allergy with wonderful subsitutions. At $75, this is a steal. WIth extras, sake, and drinks, I ran over $200 for 1, but it was worth every minute.

I don't typically like sushi and sashimi even less. The texture of a raw fish concerned me. Hubby loves it though, so I wanted to give it a chance. I figured if I was going to try, it needed to be at a place that knew what they were doing. James our sushi chef, definitely knew what he was doing. The servings were one piece at a time, served at a comfortable pace. Each piece was a different sort of fish, or a piece of wagyu beef! I enjoyed myself. The flavors made up for my personal wariness of the textures. Each piece was filled with delicious flavors. We ended up super full and content, and happy with our time here. I highly recommend.
