I had dinner here today with my sister, and we both left with such a warm and happy impression.
The food was incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious — you can truly feel the care and quality in every dish. The service was high-class yet very friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
The interior is cozy, elegant, and thoughtfully designed — a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal.
I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone in the neighborhood and beyond. It’s a wonderful spot for a calm, pleasant evening.
I will definitely be coming back again!
10/10 experience from start to finish!
So happy I took pictures because everything we ordered was SO GOOD. The cuts were generous and literally melted in your mouth. We loved it so much we already booked our next reservation- this time with friends!
Karage: I was surprised by how much we were given! It’s plenty to share with 2-3 people for an appetizer. It was very crispy and juicy, but unfortunately a little too salty and the sauce was quite salty too.
Sushi/nigiri: they were really fresh and delicious. The rolls had a little too much rice for my personal taste, but they were also flavorful and would order again.
Risotto: this was such a great dish! I absolutely loved their Miso Shiitake Risotto. If you are ordering more items, this is good share for 2 people.
Dessert: I love anything with matcha, so if course I had to try their Matcha Tiramisu and Ice Cream. The ice cream was thick and rich and I loved it, the tiramisu was quite dry and not as flavorful.
The entire meal was around $140 + tip with everything you’re seeing in the photos. It’s a nice place for a date night.
The two sushi orders, the Natsu and the Tuna Flight, totaled to $66. The Natsu was a smaller roll than expected. I thought with the 3 different fish, it would be more flavorful, but it was bland. While the tuna flight was flavorful, I only received 3 of the 4 nigiri as promised in the flight. They included some sort of spicy tuna hand roll instead. I would’ve ordered differently had I known they were unable to satisfy the order. Overall, pretty disappointed I chose this restaurant out of all the great places nearby.
The room was warm and elevated. Not crowded. Soft laughter from groups of friends. A space that made being by yourself feel intentional.
You see the chefs and greeters as soon as you walk in, all welcoming you together with genuine smiles. That kind of hospitality you recognize if you’ve spent time in Japan. Calm, generous, unforced.
I didn’t look at the menu. Asked the waiter to bring me what he recommended. Premium nigiri flight, $80. An easy yes. I skipped alcohol and went with the green tea, light, smooth, and comforting.
Service was thoughtful throughout. Present, kind, never intrusive.
The food came precise and quietly stunning. For a while, I wasn’t trying to relive Japan anymore. I was just there.
