Vegan mushroom ramen was delicious. Service was friendly but a bit slow given that it was not busy and waiting on a table and a couple at the bar.

We had a phenomenal dinner here on Saturday night! My husband and I sat at the sushi bar and asked if we could do an Omakase (not listed on the menu), and the chef was happy to do so! Everything was delicious, fresh, and extremely well done. I’m so glad we went with their recommendations. They’ve only been open for in-person dining for a few weeks, and I’m already looking forward to coming back here again! You won’t regret it.

This place had gone down from just a year ago. The sushi didn’t taste as fresh and were very expensive for small rolls and pieces of salmon and took a long time coming out. Our waitress Meghan was hardly around. Said she would get us refills on water and then sat at the bar and ate without giving us our water. She then came 20 minutes later to give us the check and to tell us she was going on break and then sat back down at the bar which was right next to us. A year ago though the wait time was long the sushi tasted better and the waiters were more present. Was excited to come back only to be disappointed. Won’t be returning.

The one positive is the yummy food and sake. But for the prices, I was expecting a much higher class of service. The next time I am looking for mediocre service at best, I’ll pay much less for a couple pieces of fish. We are not picky or impatient by any means, former servers ourselves, but we had to ask our server *multiple* times for almost everything, napkins, a glass of (lukewarm un-iced) water or to put the food order in. At least the food was better than the service!

The sushi here was the best I’ve had in my entire life, and the chicken was so tender and flavorful. Absolutely love this place and will be coming back!

Pretty great place to try out different sakes. They have an impressive range of appetizers as well. I am sad I didn’t have more time to try more of the dishes.
