Overall 8.5, great for the value with some real gems. Every bite was good and some bites were…read moreamazing. Not the best I've had but certainly worth the price 75 a person for 13. Wish they had had something special for anniversary though hokkaido sea scallop (truffle butter): 9.5, ended up getting an extra piece after. First bite was one of the best I've had, sear added smoky flavor and scallop itself was incredibly soft and sweet. Would be higher but second one was a tiny bit too salty yellowtail (shishito pepper): great shishito pepper flavor, nice compliment to the yellowtail, slight fishiness so only an 8.3 king salmon: classic, very fatty and flavorful. 8.5 sea bream (lime zest, yuzu sauce), loved the texture and the lime zest, nice firm, chewy fish. 8.8 botan ebi (jumbo sweet shrimp with foie gras) 8.9, combo of flavors was really good with the firm sweet shrimp and the deep richness and slight gaminess of the foie gras. Only not a 9 cause of ethical reasons lol Shima aji (striped jack with pickled wasabi), 9.7 my favorite bite of the night, perfect flavor pairing with a firm but fatty fish and the acid of the pickled wasabi. Ordered another after and it was just as good even though I was full. lean tuna (bluefin with truffle mushroom): 8, flavor was pretty good but sadly a bit too fishy for me. I've had akami in Japan so I know what it could be. Could just be biased against tuna in the US though. Chutoro (caviar), 8.3, chutoro was borderline otoro fatty, the caviar added a nice salty pop but not much additional flavor? I don't get the appeal of caviar tbh. Held back by slight fishiness miso chilean sea bass hand roll: 8.4 very standard miso soy marinade, probably mimicking the nobu recipe. Fish itself was cooked perfectly, was cooked in an air fryer lol but didn't feel like it suffered from that at all. Hokkaido uni: 8.2, rich, oceany flavor that coats your whole mouth. Not as sweet as Santa Barbara uni which I think I prefer but that's subjective a5 wagyu (grated foie gras), 8.8 a surprisingly great bite of fatty on fatty. I think they froze or dehydrated(?) foie gras and grated it over the wagyu which was seared on one side. Wagyu was not as melt in your mouth as other wagyu I've had, but had a nice chew to it that was very meaty unagi: 7 sadly just a very standard unagi nigiri with nothing special to it. Was still good, but not as good as I wanted or expected it to be. Also cooked in the air fryer which I think it suffered from, would've been much better if cooked on a skewer or something. negitoro hand roll, 8, had pickled radish in it on top of the usual green onion and chutoro. Good with a bit of pop of acid. A little too much salt

For the price point, you can't beat it and it's definitely worth it.

I also love that they prepare each piece with just the right amount of wasabi and soy sauce. The first 5 or so dishes included tuna tartare on a little thin tart shell, fish soup, and one of my favorites with a ponzu sauce. The rest of the meal was 10 different kinds of sushi. We enjoyed chatting with the chefs who answered all of our questions and even made my pieces with a little less rice as the meal progressed since I was getting so full. I also noticed they gave the people next to us, who were still hungry at the end, more pieces of sushi. I didn't adore every piece, but it was a really fun experience. There is one small step at the front door (they have an accessible entrance, but I just got a hand up the step) and the bar is regular seat height, so it was very comfortable from my wheelchair.

The layers were super thin and delicate, with a light dashi flavor in every bite. Definitely add the ikura. It gives it a nice pop of umami. The side dishes were just as thoughtful. The miso soup was possibly the best I've ever had, packed with daikon and carrots, and felt homey, especially good with a little sesame oil. ＊Bara Chirashi Bowl $40 It came in a really elegant bento box, topped with a mix of sashimi, tamagoyaki cubes, and ikura. They also give you an aged soy sauce that's a bit sweeter and more umami than regular soy sauce. ＊Mini Sashimi Plate $12 The fish changes depending on what's in season.
