The fish itself was good, we went there bc they are on the Michelin list, but were highly disappointed in their service.
I have to eat gluten free which is usually not an issue at a Japanese restaurant. The waitress had no clue about gluten but checked with the kitchen. When she came back from the kitchen she told me that I could only eat sashimi. No rice either. When I’ve questioned why rice would have gluten, she couldn’t explain but insisted that their rice is with gluten. So I’ve asked another waitress, who was also the hostess and manager (maybe?!) and she repeated the same as before that their rice has gluten and I can only eat sashimi and they are a Japanese restaurant and can’t accommodate my wishes. She was very rude and I felt very disrespectful and also hurt and mistreated and misunderstood- I’m not gluten-free by choice but due to celiac which is already super annoying anyways. So I was honestly close to tears and couldn’t enjoy the food then anymore. We paid 250$ bill for 2 ppl and for that price you usually get a nicer service so we will def not be coming back.

High quality fish with an awesome sushi chef who created a fun and inviting environment. The sashimi and fish were all of very high quality. I also enjoyed the seasonal menu of interesting appetizers including the chili shrimp. Getting to talk with the chef and owner really added to the experience.

Koi, you never disappoint.
Went here for a bday dinner Omakase. And since recently, we have had amazing Omakase in Japan, the bar was set pretty high, and boy, let me tell ya, it did not disappoint.
We sat by the bar and asked for Omakase with Shin-san. And I trust him with all my heart and tummy. Loool! All the fresh fishes, local and important was just so fresh and greatly prepared.
The Black cod appetizer truly melted in your mouth good.
Shin-san also made the birthday dinner by preparing a special dessert! Shin-san really made this 3xperience so worthwhile, the service is even better than we evrr had in Japan.
Definitely a splurge for Omakase but so worth it. So glad that a lot of the locals frequented there and the chefs knew rhem by name. Now, that’s dedicqtion and love in their craft. The waitresses are always so courteous and attentive.
Koi, you didnt disappount me then and you didnt disappoint me now. My ever favorite place for Omakase in SoCal!
ありがとうほざいます。ごちそさまでした。

The only thing difficult here was to decide what to order. Albacore is my go-to for an appetizer, and it was delicious. I ordered the sashimi dinner and loved everything except the red Tuna. Portion size of the salad was very generous. Not pictured is the Miso soup, standard and tasty. Great dining experience, food was wonderful, and we will definitely return.

A perfectly comfortable yet classy place to have the most fresh sushi. Service is quick and impeccable. The sushi chefs, if you sit at the sushi bar, will recommend the freshest catches. The live scallop was a pure delight! The bluefin Toro was like butter.

Overall: A+ only one trip up…the poke bowl
First pic is the poke. It was just a mess in flavor. Big miss. BUT the rest was amazing.
Sashimi plate, toro tuna sashimi, chopped toro and rainbow roll. Everything was very fresh and clean flavor. Will definitely be going back.

If you want to enjoy an authentic Japanese sushi experience while in the luxury of California, go here!! Definitely opt for the bar seat for the best experience of Japan. I thought I was in Japan again until I stepped outside and felt the SoCal sea breeze. Fresh fish, excellent sushi chefs, and true Japanese hospitality.

Although this was my first time here, this was my guest’s go-to Japanese Cuisine. The restaurant was packed but we were lucky to get a booth fairly quickly.
Food:
Sashimi Dinner plate was filled with fresh cuts of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, whitefish, and clam. It also came with a bowl of miso soup, salad, and rice. This was more than plenty to fill me.
Teriyaki Salmon plate was delicious! Just the perfect amount of rice, salmon, and veggies. This meal also came with a bowl of rice, miso soup, and salad.
Appetizers:
Baked Mussels was delicious! The sauce was creamy and abundant. Personally, it was a little on the salty side for me, but the extra sauce made for a great dip for the fried calamari we ordered.
Fried Calamari was lightly coated in tempura batter and deep fried to perfection! It was the best fried calamari I’ve ever had.
Chawanmushi was quite delicious! This had to be ordered first since it takes about 10-15 minutes to make, but so worth the wait for!

This was a gift from friends. We normally don’t go here. We had an excellent meal and drinks. People were lined up at the door at opening time. Fortunately, we had a reservation. I had mixed tempura which was good. Had interesting cold sake in these wooden boxes. It was good but a bit pricey.

Honestly… the sake was delicious… smooth. The sushi was okay nothing too fancy. They offer different kinds of fish you would not find everywhere. So some of their dishes they offer regular or premium fish. We got the regular, but you could tell some of the items were not as fresh and while they make the plate look nice some of the better fish cut is way smaller in size. So it definitely pricy for the quality of food… but the selection of fish kinda compensated for the price/portion size… definitely not the quality. The toro was ok. The food presentation was great, gluten free option…. Servers were amazing. It was a bit loud… definitely had to raise the voice to hear your party.
