Absolutely beautiful interiors & perfect lighting. The food & cocktails were fabulous as well… perfect date night spot. Service was technically perfect but not very personable.

The miso black cod is an absolute MUST. It was delicious & so were the hand rolls & sushi! The cocktails were beautifully complex & so tasty as well. I personally enjoy bar seating & we had such great & attentive service.

I will definitely go back, & I suggest bringing friends so you can try as many dishes as possible!

Honestly really pleasantly surprised how good this was! The interior design is beautiful & well thought of, especially the sound system is pretty amazing. You can hear the music but also have a conversation with your friends at the table.
The food was really good as well - special mention of the Gindara, which comes with side dishes & rice. I don't know what they do with the spinach but oh my god, I need the recipe!!
My mocktail was also delicious. All in all, definitely recommended & service was great as well.

It is beautiful inside & music is on point.

Service was a bit slow to start, but it picked up & significantly improved as the night went on.

Food is great. Standouts were the tuna handroll & onigiri. Those two were by far the best.
