The restaurant features a stylish, speakeasy-inspired atmosphere where guests can watch chefs craft sushi right in front of them, creating an engaging and immersive environment.

I normally don't go to this kind of place, as it always makes much more sense to me to pay for more tangible values. I only went because of a friend's birthday & that she is into fine dining, so it was my treat. I was also curious about her tastes too.

First we were told they charge a $5 per person to drink their filtered water. The waitress boasted a bit about their superior filter & that apparently justified the price. I'd usually back out when I hear this since I take it as a bad sign setting the tone for what comes after, but it was too late at that point. Sorry to say, but the water machine at my office makes crisper water.

Then comes the food. You got to be careful here as this place serves overpriced snacks, so your hunger might not be satiated in the end unless you order more. I let my partner order as she knew more about what was on the menu as an experienced foodie, but I ended up regretting it when I saw the $300 bill ($150/person) + tips starting at 18%. Now I can say with absolute confidence a $15 fried rice with a 100% tip at the nearby Chinatown is a much better deal, & does a better job satisfying hunger than $150 of small handrolls & miso soup in a tiny cup. The food didn't taste extraordinary either, & sushi anywhere else has similar flavors (not to mention more filling).

My partner even apologized to me as she didn't know it'd be this pricey for such a small amount of food. I was fine with it solely because it was her birthday. The way I see it, this is a place for people to feel like they are in slightly higher society, & of course being able to update their Instagram account.

For anyone who focuses mostly on the food itself, this isn't the place. This experience simply reinforced my notion that hole-in-the-wall & no-frills restaurants are much more realistic choices. Sadly, this place just reminds me of jokes like how a dash of chocolate on a plate with a leaf on the side can cost double digits.

Intimate yet vibrant vibe. Food is a bit overpriced though (35$ for a single Hokkaido Uni Handroll, 15-20$ for 4 pieces of crudo?.
