It was just not a good experience. Our hostess barely checked on us and barely communicated—meaning she didn’t tell us about the prices of anything. Their maki was old and tasteless. To top the experience off I had $120 bill for a barely enjoyable experience. NEVER AGAIN!

Place is cool looking! Food was good. Staff seemed a lil standoff ish.
Tempura is great but it doesn't come with sauce. Weird.

Really enjoyed the sushi here! I loved both the sushi rolls that I ordered!! Both unique and had good flavor. Will definitely recommend this place to others!

Great place for a romantic dinner. Unique decor and ambiance paired with excellent sushi and signature cocktails. Prices are comparable to other high quality restaurants in the area, and we'll worth the price. Staff was attentive and friendly. I would recommend this spot if you're looking for a fancy night out on a first date.

It's a new favourite of mine for sure! I adore the veggie dragon sushi, it's seriously some of the best sushi I've ever had. As a vegetarian, I always appreciate when a place like this can make a vegetarian dish full of flavour. I love the vibes of this place, too, the chandeliers are a nice touch. Our server was helpful and very friendly.
We went around 4 PM on a Sunday and it wasn't too crowded and very chill.

Found this place online, to my surprise it is excellent. Starting with a spicy miso soup that was delicious to everything that we ordered.

Excellent sushi and great service! The pork belly wontons had a delicious chili oil drizzle that I wanted to get a whole bucket of, and the sushi was clearly prepared with care and fresh, well-thought-out ingredients.

Food was good.
Service was terrible, came for restaurant week and waited at minimum 45 minutes before we had finally received our entrees, only after having flagged down a server to ask about our food, not once, but twice. Our server specifically was very inattentive and at one point i thought that she had forgot about us considering that multiple people that had arrived after we had we’re all receiving their food before we had.
If you decide on getting sushi from this place I recommend take out.
Spent a total of 2 hours “dining” or shall i say waiting here, complete waste of my time and extremely disappointed with my experience.

Went here with friends for restaurant week. I suspect that they were understaffed, because we had difficulty in ordering a second round of drinks, asking for a fork/knife, and having room on the table. It also took a very long time to get the check and to pay.
Food was hit or miss. I really enjoyed the seaweed salad, but the entree did not do much for me. For restaurant week, the quantity of food was nice but nothing was exceptional either way. The drinks were great, though. A friend ordered a lovely bottle of unfiltered sake and the midnight emperor was a gorgeous looking drink.
The ambiance is very cool, the murals are beautiful, but the acoustics are pretty bad. I couldn't hear my party well, but could hear the table two down just fine. The music was also loud - much more club-like than what I'd expect from a restaurant. I left feeling pretty exhausted from the sound and frustrated.

It was very good and nice, the server was very nice and helpful she recommended some very nice rolls. We also had the crispy wontons. I really liked those as well. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area

I've only had sushi a handful of times and eating this sushi was the best I've had! Even my friend, who eats sushi often, thought this was delicious! We also ate the short ribs and they were sooooo gooood! We tried their Irish mule drink that was a special and it was so refreshing and flavorful. The only thing I would say was a drag about this resturant was the wait time to get our check and to close out the check. We waited about 15 minutes after we gave them the check to close out. Other than that, the food was great and we will be coming back!

Upon entering, I grabbed hand sanitizer and the attendants there looked confused, as if I knew what I was coming in for. I was waiting as the sign said "wait to be seated". They told me to sit wherever I wanted to.
The place itself is slightly dark ambience, where not much light is around compared to outside. You have to wait a while for your eyes do get adjusted to the room.
As I sit down, the waiter did not explicitly give me directions on what to do, but I was able to understand that the menu is the QR code.
While reading the menu, it was slightly confusing to me as I did not know if the bottom of the page had a correlation with the next column of the menu, or continue scrolling down to see the rest of the section.
Food:
Upon arrival, the person serving my food (not the waiter) threw the plate to the table, not placing it gently on the table. My actual waiter did do this when my second plate arrived.
The pork bun was not how I expected it to look like. The flavor of the pork could have been better. The other items that went with the pork bun did give it flavor.
The main dish mostly actually good. The lemon wedges did take the main flavor away on some fish, but it's good to have that there for people who like a little acidity.
The white rice actually had flavor. That's a plus. I was not able to tell the flavor, but it was certainly different compared to how others places prepare their white rice.
Upon paying, i was given the recipe through a rusty, old box that looks as if it was stolen from American Express (the company logo is on there). That was not too amusing.
Overall, if I could, I give this place 3.5 stars.
4 stars since it rounds up.
The lightening could be improved, especially for someone who's coming in, when outside is very bright. The method of providing the receipt needs to be improved.

Great menu selections I had a hard time choosing what to order bc of course, I couldn't eat everything. So, we ordered the salmon avocado roll and the combination tempura appetizer which comes with veggies and 1 peice of shrimp. It was all very good. I'm happy we spontaneously stopped by.

Loved this place. Walked in on Friday night and got the table right away. Great choice of sushi, appetizers and cocktails. Sushi tasted good, but nothing exceptional. The one I liked the most was "crunchy crab". This place is very noisy though, so it's not a perfect place for a romantic dinner. Service was good.

This is a cool little place. Laid back but with an edge. Duck breast buns were killer. Ordered 3 rolls which were great - spicy tuna, salmon and crab. Plus a couple Nigiri pieces. It’s on the high end for price - but great quality- so you get what you pay for
