Get the black cod fish! Twas a highlight. That sauce used today was also really good, portions very reasonable to price, honestly just tasted great especially with the mushrooms & whatever else that was positively going on there 5/5
Chicken skewer were nice, tender
Service was great by the team special thanks to our waitress Anika (hope I remembered the name right sorry if my memory does not serve me well!) August 21 2025 9pm
Staff knows their menu very well
& are very patient & kind
Reasonable portions for the sashimi was somewhat solid at best, but Ive had better. Id rather go elsewhere for my sashimi fix.
though there were one or two pieces I had that was way too mushy textured not sure why but not to my liking, not sure if it was the type of fish or something else
Ambiance was very good
Ill be back , mainly for when I am craving black cod thank you
This was some of the best sushi we've had in recent memory. We got the Haru roll (pictured) as well as their spring roll & rainbow roll & wow it was good. The rice was super soft. The fish tasted super fresh & melted in your mouth. I thought this was very reasonably priced as well. We would come back in a heartbeat.

We had dinner last night. Our waiter Jess gave us a heads up right away that they serve tapas. Starving as we were, we ordered at least 2-3 dish each. Halfway through, our stomachs were filling for' full capacity' status. I can say the taste is superb & deserves a Michelin star. It is a bit pricey but it's worth every bite. Good ambiance as well!
Très bonne expérience culinaire!
Très bon service!
Petite bémol avec un serveur/runner un peu moins professionnel, mâchant son chewing-gum bouche ouverte , bruyant dans ses geste, pulvérisation de produit d'entretien sur nous & proche de la nourriture quand il est venu débarrasser nos voisins , ce n'est pas grand-chose, mais cela a légèrement perturbé l'expérience par moments.

The food looked amazing, but the price & quantity of food was disappointing. 2 yakitori for that much money is... Unpleasant. Come for the atmosphere, but be aware that you are mainly paying for presentation & not quantity (& most of the time quality) of food.
In my opinion, the best dish was the wagyu gyoza; but even that is way too expensive for what you get.
Très endroit employé super sympathique
Sushi très bon mais j ai connue des sushi en spécialité vraiment mieux & avec plus de finesse
Mais je le redit très bon sushi
