The quality of the fish is at the top. The nigiri are excellent with great rice texture. However, I would prefer warmer rice. The special maki with fresh crab was terrific.
Incredibly fresh selection featuring some of the finest fish the city's markets have to offer. Add Chef Park's genuine & authentic desire to satisfy every guest, & you have the makings of a truly beautiful dining experience.
The sushi tasted fishy, the nigiri rice was falling apart, & the maki had so much sauce that it overpowered the other flavors. The salad was also quite watery.
There were a few issues with presentation as well. My miso soup bowl had a dried piece of food stuck to the outside, some bowls were cracked, & my spoon was chipped.
One concern was that my friend informed the server of her mango allergy, but we were only told after the salad arrived that it contained mango.
Overall, it wasn't the experience I was expecting given the restaurant's reputation.
The food is okay. The beef rib is very tender but it has this bloody taste. Maybe the beef is not clear well. The sashimi is not consistent, some were fishy tasting & some were good. The maki are not special. The dessert is good but need changes to make it better.
The service is okay , the staffs are nice but they need to work better as a team since mid order he left us to serve another table.
La salade au 16 légumes avec la vinaigrette à l' ume était très rafraîchissante. Plateau normal & premium comme repas principal . Sashimi 10/10 nigiri 10/10 maki 9/10 . Le service d'eau 10/10 & service au table très bien ! Je recommande
Went to celebrate a milestone birthday. The oysters were excellent. We enjoyed the tuna tataki & the sashimi was delicious. The maki was a disappointment. We had the Special Maki (salmon & tuna tartare topped with sautéed mushrooms & jalepeno). The mushrooms were delicious but overwhelmed the fish. We also tried the chef feature maki of crab & torched scallop & the grilled octopus entree. Underwhelming. Also, there was something sharp left on the octopus & unfortunately it cut my gums on my last bite of the dish. We let the server know & we weren't expecting anything other than an apology. It was not acknowledged at all. For a pretty expensive birthday dinner, it was not impressive & worse, their air conditioning was not working & it was like dining in the dessert. Very good but unsure as to whether I would go back.
Been here a couple of times. Very pricey but quality of ingredients are excellent. Sashimi is excellent & fresh. Maki rolls are good but too much sauce. I like to taste the ingredients. Nigiri was good but portions were tiny. Service was very good & informed. Overall a very good meal but not worth the price. There are other Japanese restaurants that are very good that will satisfy your sushi craving but at a better price point.
Been coming here for a while, simply because I have no time for groceries, the food here is unique. I especially enjoyed the premium platter sushi. A variety of selection of different sashimi & maki sushi. The ones that stood out would be the Otoro, which is a very fatty fish that you can not get anywhere from all you can eat sushi( if you find there are, let me know). The presentation is beautiful. I also especially find the sea urchin to be very interesting. Not many people will like it but I do. The workers are well informed on what we are eating. & maybe not everyone but I especially feel welcomed by the staff, including the owner, Antonio Park, very busy man but always checks up on me. & Ms. Jodie, always informative & very kind. Atmosphere, is in a dim light setting, definitely a bar like feeling( it has a drinks bar & a sushi bar). My favourite dessert would be omakase dessert, strawberry based, I loved the different layers it has, strawberry sorbet at the top with creaminess surround it, with a biscuit cracker that separates it from the fresh strawberry & purée at the bottom.
