What customers say?

“ Omakase (regular) was fantastic... every dosh was exquisite. Just wish the dishes came out faster, we were there for a few hours. We got to talk a lot but was a very slow dinner (like 15-20 nins between each dish). Would've also preferred some appetizer sooner because we didn't get anything for like the first 30 mins which left our drinks a bit lonely. Maybe some edamame? The quantity of food was satisfying but we weren't full until adding the karaage (would do 2 instead of 4 next time though since the balls were huge). Tbh I would prefer regular karaage over this ball form-- it was very hot and inconvenient to eat. The outer layer wasn't very tasty but the inside was cooked perfectly. The fish was out of this world, everything about the fish was fantastic. The salmon, yellowtail, tuna, and snapper were our favorites. All the other dishes were great too-- it even made me enjoy daikon which I usually don't like! I didn't realize the omakase was at a table instead of the bar. Would've at least been nice for the chef to meet with us because I usually expect interaction with the chef at an omakase. The yuzu drop sake cocktail and the seasonal sake (Mayami Hiyaoroshi) were to die for, very delicious. The waiting staff was incredibly attentive-- just read through one of the menus and they'll come right away. Also seems they ensure you've finished your for before coming with the next plate which is nice (just wish it was faster since we were very hungry). Overall great experience, felt classy and everything was delicious. Come here when you're not starving and you'll have a good time. Overall cost us around $450 for 2 with tax and tip and 5-6 drink orders. Worth every penny. ”

“ Shocked to find such an outstanding Japanese place in the Valley. Almost don’t want the word to get out especially given the cozy set up and space but I love this place dearly and want the best for ethe establishment so I can come back. Omakase will not disappoint along with countless other dishes you can choose from. Truly a gem ”
