Me and my best friend didn’t know what to expect going into this place when we randomly walked in on Valentine’s Day but we were delightfully surprised. It was our first time trying this place out and I have come back at least 2 more times within a week. The service is as incredible as their food. The people are so warm and welcoming. Barrackaus is the main man and will make sure your experience is A+. Audrey, Patrick and Isabella are also top notch. If you ever want to talk about Heated Rivalry, Audrey is your girl. But honestly your stay will be memorable if you had any of them helping you. Highest recommendation and I definitely will be a regular. Love you guys!!! ♥️

Visited this restaurant with my sister for the first time tonight and I was impressed! We ordered an Angry Lobster Roll to share (instead of a starter), and while we’ve our fair share of sushi throughout our lives, this was BY FAR the most delicious sushi we have ever had. It was presented beautifully and tasted extremely fresh. We ordered two different mocktails (blackberry and kiwi), and could not decide which one was better. Our server, Audrey, added on the experience with her friendly and accommodating vibes. She recommended two items on the menu, so we went with one of them. We both ordered hibachi. The portions are beyond enough for the price, which is something I admire. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, and it provided a warm and welcoming experience. I would definitely come back to 698 to try out some of their other sushi rolls!

This place is GREAT!! I’ve been here twice this week. When I found out about the happy hour I knew I had to come back. I want to preface my review by saying I’m not a huge fan of sea food but that may have changed now.
1. The Bartender Amanda, friendly professional, hot and damn good at her job 10+ years experience what more can you ask for.
2. The Food was fast hot and delicious. The prices are reasonable and ever appetizer has its own personality I really enjoyed the Kaki Fry and Red Chili Dumplings I’m sure I’ll dream about them both for a week lol.
3. The Atmosphere is beautiful a nice modern Asian American vibe not super uppity but also not run down and sketchy, balanced my favorite color is green so the Jade leather chairs were a nice touch for me.
4. The Service/Servers was great waiters are clean, kept, polite and attentive. The waiters are always busy but in a good way foods constantly moving and even when they are chatting amongst themselves they’re hands are moving and as a former manager I love to see it lol.
5. Overall 9/10 this place is ALMOST perfect if I could change one thing it would be the the Drink Menu the drinks are a little boring and I don’t think they’re taking advantage of the bartender they have Amanda can make very layered and delicious cocktails (she’s served me before at another restaurant which won’t be named) but she’s literally in the 614 magazine for her craft cocktails they should let her put her magic on the menu and watch this place rise to the top.
Honorable mention Barackus the manager (I think) sorry if I butchered your name pal. He is sooo funny and that boy can SAAANNNNGGG love his energy. He sang happy birthday to a guy next to me at bar and it was actually beautiful.

This restaurant is over the top. We sat in front of the kitchen staff and watched the staff who made our food in real time. I got the shrimp truffle rice, AMAZING!! Everything was amazing. If the restaurant could let me sleep there, then wake up and eat again, I would live there. The staff was so professional and friendly, our a server was Rodney and he knows his job. I would defin be coming back, again and again. Very good spot..

Came in for happy hour with friends. Drinks are so tasty and are beautifully presented. The crab rangoon tarts were dry and the rest of the food was severely lacking the wow factor. The salmon skin salad was soggy.
Will be back to give it a second chance to expand further than the happy hour menu.

The sushi was fresh and absolutely delicious. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. Everyone, from the manager to the staff, was genuinely kind and attentive. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, yet elegant and sophisticated. A perfect place for a lovely dining experience. Love!

My best friend and I visited on Saturday, and even though it was very busy, Barrachus, the GM, was phenomenal from the moment we walked in until the time we left. He truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Patrick was our server, and he was incredibly friendly and attentive. We absolutely love 698 and can’t wait to come back on Monday!

I would say that this is a “mostly” Japanese – Pan-Asian – restaurant. I decided on their sake riff on a french 75, called the Japanese 75. This was a nice version, with gin, sparkling sake, lemon, and simple syrup . It had a bit too much simple syrup for my taste, but it was still quite good.
We both got rolls. The rainbow roll was pretty typical. I tried the sunshine roll. It was good, but frying it seemed unnecessary. We also had the shrimp tempura- nicely cooked and not at all greasy, and well as the eel nigiri – which was delicious.
Very attentive service, and although the place is huge, it was pretty subdued and quiet

Smoked Toro and Truffle Box is a must-try! The toro provides melted-in-your-mouse texture and truffle serves very savory flavors. The Sushi boat combo for 2 is a little bit too much for us. But it has various options for sashimi and nigiri.
BTW they have a hidden menu dessert Tangerine Mousse. It looks exactly like a fresh tangerine and it’s refreshing with the citrus flavor.
