Went here to splurge for my wife's birthday and what an amazing experience. We did the omakase while our kid did a normal meal experience. What a wise decision that was. Our server Isaiah was just amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us through our meal as well as pairing various sakes.

The best part of the fish is the salt served alongside it. The other dishes we ordered were good but we've honestly had better versions of all of it elsewhere for less than half the price. The worst was the sushi. That was the only dish we didn't finish. We've had better sushi from the freezer at Aldi. The best fish of the day was an off the menu special.
