“ A really great place! The food was deliciousI enjoyed every bite. The atmosphere and decorations were lovely. The waiter was polite, attentive, and a pleasure to interact with and listen to. Overall, it definitely deserves 5 stars. The only downside is the priceits a bit steep. ”
“ Food was beyond amazing! Fish tasted fresh and tasteful. Service was great, servers were very attentive The atmosphere was nice, not too loud. Im definitely coming back! The baked salmon roll was delicious!! And the desert, crunchy heaven, was exactly that, heaven!! ”
“ We came here just 8 months ago and had one of the most incredible meals, and I am so impressed that they not only met our memory, but somehow got even better?? We got the premium omakase, which was 150 regular was 120, but 100 worth it. Every bite was perfection high quality ingredients, perfectly seasoned, perfect temperatureeverything. On top of the incredible food, the service was impeccable John, our host, was super kind, talked us through the menu, and his recommendations and insight were on point. The chef was also very friendly, and they both checked in on us to make sure everything we had was meeting our standards. Starting off strong with the small, mild, refreshing oysters that came with delicious sauces, and then the clam miso soup, which was light and cozy. Then came the sashimi platter in what has to be one of the most amazing sauces Ive ever had. Followed by the smoked otoro. My partner got emotional at how delicious it was. These two dishes will probably haunt me. Then had a sushi platter. All of the fish had its own topping and the rice was warm and perfectly seasoned. And then the sushi roll, which was perfectly balanced meaty and rich with the tuna and avocado, but light and refreshing with the soy paper wrap and masago. We ended sharing the uni pasta which is cooked with lobster stock and the mushroom miso pasta. Both were decadent, rich, and utterly fantastic. Overall this place is a 1010 and deserves all the love! Honestly this place is on par with Michelin star restaurants, IMO, but easier to get a table. If youre looking for a fancy night out, look no further! ”
“ Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is stunningbeautifully decorated and perfect for a night out. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the service was topnotch from start to finish. A true fivestar experience! ”
“ We came in on a Friday night at like 8? The server, a guy, I think his name was Kevin...he didnt say...but he was definitely worth calling out. Cant decide? Ask Kevin. He wasnt wrong at all. Would recommend getting on their waitlist or reserving. It definitely guaranteed us a seat. The toro was delicious. Try anything with it. The norice sushi was very fun to try. Delicate balance with slight discrepancies in what flavors would come out. Really that was the name of the game here. The jalapeno poppers werent overtly punch in the face spicy. The eel was rich and meaty without being heavy. It worked in the favor of the dishes. And dessert was well worth staying in house. But Id recommend this place for sure. ”
“ Ive only had sushi from the midwest since I live there. This sushi changed my perspective completely. The roles I had put anything Ive ever had to shame. 1000 recommend this place if you are in town and looking for great sushi. Service and atmosphere is also a 1010. ”
“ Glad I found this gem. Everything is over my expectations! Sashimi was so fresh and melt in your mouth. I will definitely come back if I am back to Vegas. ”
“ Delicious Japanese spot in Chinatown. Highly recommend to dine here versus an onstrip chain. Great service and the food was fresh with plenty of flavorful surprises. I recommend getting something from the chefs special page. I particularly loved the chu toro soy paper roll. The atmosphere was on point and we loved the decor inside as well. ”
