No need to call upon arrival, no need to leave your car, just order, arrive and go. My order traveled 40 minutes before I was able to dig in, but even so, it remained solid. Ordering sushi in the suburbs I missed my Madai! I missed delicious otoro, and I missed a few nuances of good sushi, like proper slicing, great temperature control and the key that separates good from great nigiri, good rice. As far as the food: Madai- chewier than expected but may be because I ordered at the end of the night or caught them on an off day. Kin Madai-solid :) Otoro- melt in your mouth, fatty, buttery, and decadent as it should be! I like that they dress their nigiri, a pinch of citrus and dab of caviar feel like the cherry on top of a great sundae. I certainly will stop in again next time I'm in the Heights.

My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and they wrote us a sweet little card :') There are plenty of unique menu items we didn't know where to start because they all sounded so good, but everything we got turned out delicious nonetheless. Our favorite was the bluefin otoro binchotan which when our server brought out, he seared it with some special coal so that was cool. Not to mention the actual flavor and texture was phenomenal. I like how they brought out everything in a particular order that made the meal enjoyable and of course they were all beautifully presented. We appreciated their attentiveness and timing between each dish. The dessert is to die for! I saw the toffee mochi which I knew I had to get and it delivered. The mango tres leches cake is also uniquely made and that was a banger as well. Our server Sebastian was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and knew exactly what to recommend us. He described each dish as it came out. Super cool guy. We missed happy hour which is from 4-6 and they have great deals so we'll definitely be coming back!

You will sit at a large sushi bar, and you will have the rolls and drinks made right in front of you. The interior felt cozy yet trendy. It's fairly minimalist with somewhat intimate lighting. I loved the place setting. It was again minimal, but very appetizing and very Japanese. I also loved that we had a dehydrated towel capsule that they poured hot water over to clean your hands. A nice touch! Everyone was super polite and professional. We were honestly well taken care of. Each menu was explained to us with limited specials, suggested ordering amounts, etc. Our food and drinks came out super quickly Both the food and drinks were delicious. The menu has a variety of small plates, but their main bread and butter is handrolls. I am a fan of the Asian flavors and fusion cocktails. I am not as big of a sushi fan as most all of my friends, but I will say this is some of the best sushi I've ever had. I also don't prefer hand rolls, but these were exceptional. We were also given a complimentary tamango dessert bite which was an an incredibly thoughtful and tasty was to end our meal I had always heard of and seen this place, and I always thought it was supposed to be Kanpai Club, but I found out that they're sister restaurants (share the same kitchen), and it's just harder to notice the narrow bar/restaurant Kanpai Club from the street All that to say, this places is a vibe, it's delicious, and it's affordable. I will definitely be back Some tips: This is a perfect spot for a date night or like we did, a nightcap and bites Certain novelty glassware are paired with certain drinks so if you want a specific one you should ask your server about it I would also consider swinging by Kampai club as they have a different menu, but they will still let you order bites and drinks from the Hando menu There's a parking lot, but it's not massive. You should be able to find parking here or street parking nearby, but I always recommend ride-share as the drinks are that good Cheers!!

The decor was minimalistic, clean, and reminiscent of an intimate sushi bar in Japan. Service was personable, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire night. We went on maki Monday when all the makimonos were $10 each. The food was excellent. The nigiri was seasoned and did not require any additional flavorings. We shared the Popeyes salad (Popeyes bc of the warm spinach, not bc there's fried chicken in it), chawanmushi (my fave dish of the night), 3 maki rolls (spicy tuna, Wagyu, and yellowtail), and the coconut sorbet. We also chose our own nigiri instead of doing the omakase. Again, everything was well seasoned. If I had some critique, it would be that their rolls should be tighter and cleaner-looking, but it was fine. Also, the amaebi nigiri doesn't come with the fried shrimp head! Just an fyi for all my other amaebi lovers out there. Seems a big miss. Overall, it can get a bit pricey, but they do offer deals with maki Mondays, happy hour, and lunch specials. I would absolutely come back and would love to try some of their more popular dishes. I look forward to returning.

I came here after a late movie showing for a bite to eat. The restaurant was nearly empty and…read moreenergy seemed low in the staff but there were pretty friendly and attentive. The restaurant had an interesting vibe not bad, not great. The S&M maki: 6/10 this is a roll for people that don't really like sushi. Rating it a bit lower because I don't like cooked salmon in my sushi and it didn't specify that it would be. It tasted decent mainly because of the sauces giving it some flavor. Crispy chicken egg roll: 6/10 pretty dry, but I enjoyed how crispy it was and doused it with sauce. Yaki noodles: 4/10 they looked amazing but severely lacked flavor and they were supposed to be really spicy too. They had no spice and really just tasted like bland noodles with overcooked veggies. I don't think I will be returning here as the food wasn't that great but maybe the regular non reverse happy hour is better ?

We each got a rice bowl and shared the stuffed mushroom appetizer. I opted for the gyudon beef bowl. It came with very tender cubed ribeye and mushrooms on top of flavorful rice. I would've liked if it had more beef though. The stuffed mushrooms were fried and crispy, although the "stuffing" was lacking as well. The katsu kare don was one of the better tonkatsu I've tried and very reasonable for the price too. I'd probably go with that one if I come back.
