The staff could not have been friendlier, and the sushi was genuinely outstanding. I tried Uni for the first time here and instantly understood the hype. It was incredibly fresh, perfectly prepared, and paired with cucumber in a way that made the whole bite taste clean and bright. I immediately wanted more -- which feels like the highest compliment you can give a restaurant. If you love great sushi and small neighborhood gems, this one is absolutely worth ordering from.

The layout is interesting -- there's an upstairs when you walk in, but the sushi bar and a good bit of seating are downstairs. The menu is pretty straightforward with a mix of hand rolls, appetizers, specialty rolls, nigiri/sashimi, and traditional rolls. They also have a few solid combo deals, though I usually prefer trying a variety of items instead. Service was quick, which is always appreciated at a sushi spot. We ordered a few specialty rolls, two traditional rolls, and a couple orders of sashimi, all served together on one platter. The rolls were a great size -- filling without being overly large. The sashimi was fresh, and the traditional rolls really balanced out the meal nicely. The flounder and tuna sashimi were both excellent, and the California roll made with real crab was simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The total came out somewhere in the $70 range, so after tip and splitting it between two people, it was about $40 each to try multiple rolls and sashimi. Definitely fair pricing for the quality and amount of food. This spot had been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally made it over. I'd recommend checking out the menu beforehand so you can go in with a game plan and try the items that stand out most to you.

I ordered the 5 set hand roll with Hottie scallop, Kanpachi, Torch me slowly, Spicy salmon and Mango Tango. I loved the flavors of each one but the wrapping was tricky. Some of the rolls wouldn't come off because the wrapping had a lot of moisture so I ended up just eating it deconstructed. I prefer how Kazu Nori gives you each roll one at a time to prevent this. Overall great hand rolls but it's super messy so I'd give it a 3.8/5.

UberEats order review…read more They were running an amazing buy 1 deal on UberEats and I decided to go for it. Let me just say a few things: 1- Packaged with care and safely placed in the containers. 2- They included sauces and numerous items to make the meal delicious (small sauce trays, chopsticks, etc) 3- The portions were more than enough for 2 people. We actually had several rounds of food left. 4- The food was AMAZING and fresh! I ordered the Firecracker, Shrimp Tempura, and Shrimp Shumai and EVERYTHING was perfectly prepared. The firecracker was my favorite of the favs but it was hard to come to that conclusion because all of them were just that good. Fast service online, I waited less than 30 mins. Not sure how it looks inside but now I'm curious to visit them and check out the ambiance. Definitely glad that I found a worthy sushi spot!

We ordered to-go which you do from a window right at the front and received the food and drinks within 10-15 min. We got the salmon and unadon chirashi bowls. They're pretty good but not anything new or interesting if you are a fan of sushi. But quality and freshness is good! The matchas I was a little more disappointed about. We tried both the signature shaken matcha and matcha latte. I do prefer my matchas a little more on the sweet side and even with simple syrup added, I felt like the matchas both weren't sweet and concentrated enough? Not sure if those are the right words, but I felt like they weren't the best matchas I've tried. Overall, I would come back again to try more of their food!

The takuji chirashi and the 10-piece omakase sashimi platter were also incredibly fresh and high quality. And don't even get me started on the basque cheesecake - still thinking about that caramelized top and sweet, velvety center. I love that they're a matcha and chirashi cafe by day and an omakase spot by night. The interior is incredibly intimate, with only two tables for people eating chirashi bowls, and relatively small bar seating for people doing omakase. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, giving us amazing service.

The space is small with a few indoor tables and a few outdoor ones along the sidewalk. We ordered two sushi plates a person and it personally wasn't enough for me.

Why are they understaffing this place?!? Especially at the prices. The cocktails are actually pretty good, though the wine list is uninteresting. It's a fine spot if you're looking for a quick meal in Georgetown, but it's not a destination spot by any means.

If you love old & new R&B this is the place to be on Thursday & Sunday nights. My only complaint is that the music is so loud it's hard to have a conversation or even place your order. We had to ask our waitress multiple times for limes, soy sauce and a to go box. I don't blame her for being overwhelmed since the music was so loud but there is room for improvement! Sebastian Roll: 10/10 fried crab roll was delicious. This is my new go to roll! Buenos Aires Roll: 7/10 nothing crazy. Reminded me of an elevated California roll with torched salmon on top. Vegetable Gyoza: 7/10 pan fried instead of boiled which I prefer! Kind of bland. Would be better with a different sauce or added protein. Calamari: 7/10 good but it did not stand out. Comes with both rings & tentacles. We don't like tentacles so we ate around them.
