My partner and I had dinner here on 11/25 to celebrate our anniversary, and we had an amazing experience sitting at the bar. Since my partner isn’t super familiar with sake, our waiter walked him through a few different types and let him try a couple to see which he preferred. All the food was delicious and the dishes were paced very well – our favorites were the wasabi garlic edamame, age dashi tofu, buta kakuni, and ginger crème brûlée. The pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender and so flavorful. The manager on service was so kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, and even brought a candle with our dessert since we were celebrating. While the food is incredible, the service really pushed our experience over the top. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Excellent dining experience from start to finish.
The sashimi was outstanding—fresh, clean, and well executed. The kimidai and aji were particularly impressive in both texture and flavor. The eel with rice was done perfectly: fresh, no muddy smell at all, and paired with a well-balanced sauce that complemented the dish beautifully.
The soba with uni was a highlight. The dashi was rich and deeply flavorful, enhanced by fresh wasabi, and when mixed together with the soba, it was simply exceptional.
As we were celebrating our honeymoon, the team kindly surprised us with complimentary ice cream—an elegant and thoughtful touch that truly made the experience memorable.
Special thanks to OKI, Tony, and KZ-san (Restaurant Manager) for their outstanding hospitality. Service was top-tier—attentive, warm, and professional throughout.
Top service, great food, and a team that truly cares. Highly recommended

The shop is located on the lower ground floor inside a building, which took a moment to find. We were pleasantly surprised to find the interior completely shift into an immersive Japanese style. Small bites were great (I’d skip the underwhelming yuzu udon next time) including the agedashi tofu, which was much better than other restaurants in the city. Overall pretty pricey considering we went in for some casual dinner but the food is really good if you’re willing to spend.

We just got home to NY from a 10 hour drive. We dropped the car off at Avis and happened to find this hidden gem. This meal was supposed to be quick and we certainly were not expecting an epic experience. Our waiter was so kind and elegantly shared some interesting information about Sake. If I was not so exhausted I would have followed his recommendation and had some. We ordered a braised octopus with wasabi scallions. My husband and I were amazed by the flavors. We then had the Otoro sashimi which literally melted in our mouths. The Japanese fried chicken was perfect. We had the mushroom udon soup special which was earthy, cozy with a hint of citrus. The unexpected flavors were balanced and a delight. We will be back for a more proper meal as we must try more! This place is a jewel!

Such a lowkey restaurant but the ambience is amazing. Our waiter was lovely, explained everything thoroughly and gave great suggestions. The food, although small portions was very tasty and authentic. Loved my experience here.

Sadly not impressed by our dinning experience here. Our server, David was not friendly. Never introduced himself and was snobbish. When we asked for food advice, he seemed annoyed by our inexperience with Japanese cuisine. The busmen were hovered over us. Just a very disappointing experience for the price you pay. I would not recommend.

Can’t speak enough of the sushi experience I had here. The presentation was about as Instagram worthy as you can get, and the taste and freshness were amongst the best I’ve ever had. As a frequent traveler, I had a suitcase of which they offered to store for me without any ask from me. The staff were ALL beyond attentive and extremely friendly. Both myself and my friend were treated as well as anyone could expect from a dining experience. This was my first visit, but I can guarantee you there will be many more. Five star first class all around here.

Very cool place to impress your friends from out of town. Delicious food and great atmosphere, but pricey for the portions. Definitely more of a special occasion or expense account kind of place.
