One nice thing about this place is that it's BYOB. I enjoyed every single piece, but here are my special shout outs: 1. Bluefin tuna- so fatty and melts right in ur mouth 2. Stripe Jack: very very fresh 3. Scallops, bluefin fatty tuna and uni 4. Triple x with quail egg, uni and salmon roe was very unique and not something I've seen elsewhere Overall- a good amount of food for around 135 per person! Definitely highly recommend!

The style of their rice is also quite unique... less sticky and more loose (was not really my preference since I prefer stickier, more vinegar taste to the rice). When you get to your meal, you will either be directed to be seated in tanoshi left or tanoshi right (only the right one has a bathroom), and it's 1 sushi chef to every 4 guests which makes the service really fast. The ambiance overall is more traditional and less upscale. My favorite pieces from the meal were the sable fish, the uni, the scallop with uni, and the yellowtail. I'm also not usually the biggest fan of ebi but the ebi here was not too fishy or grimy at all. Although we were really full at the end, we added on 2 pieces for fun just to try (golden eye snapper and japanese mackerel), which was totally not necessary. In my opinion they serve the best cuts of fish in the regular omakase menu, which is $125pp for 14 courses (including the app and miso soup). They also sang us happy birthday and gave us some cuts of fish (although not as high quality as the omakase pieces) with a candle to celebrate! Very nice gesture of them. Cuts of fish are very fresh, and great service! I do enjoy some other omakase places in the city better though for the price point.

Food quality is great and definitely worth a try.

All the sushi was extremely fresh and I had the best uni that I've ever had in my entire life there. It was so creamy and not fishy at all. I was never a big fan of tuna but this place really changed my mind! The triplets xxx which has uni, ikura, and quail egg was my favorite sushi in the 13 course. Took 0.5 star out because I was pretty disappointed with the last course, which was a spicy tuna roll. That is not traditional sushi and the mayo covered the taste of the tuna. That was just not what I expected to get when paying that much for a meal. Overall, great experience. Server was very attentive and we enjoyed our dinner a lot. Will definitely come back for a special occasion!

I did the lunch omakase which consisted of plenty of fresh fish which truly melted in your mouth. They also had additions to the omakase menu you could order. It is a small intimate setting with attentive staff. I cannot wait to go back!
