Small, tucked away sushi spot with excellent quality sushi, but very small portions for the money, so not good value. We tried a variety of sashimi and all the fish was melt in your mouth quality with a nice ocean taste (good thing). Service was good and they serve genmaicha tea! My only complaint is that we had to sit at a counter facing a wall. Not the best spot to sit for an expensive date night.

Extremely pricey, high quality sushi can be had here. Go when you want to treat yourself. Tried many appetizers with our maki and sashimi including - Hamachi shots (favorite) - Wagyu Croquettes - Hamachi Kama - Softshell Crab - few others Sashimi sets are relatively small for $48. Delicious, good service. Omakase is nigiri only and very limited so we did not order. 4-stars.

This is a favorite of many of my friends who are sushi snobs. Their fish is extremely delicious! I enjoy eating at the bar when with girlfriends. The outdoor seating is nice and has heat lamps so great year round. I guess I don't come here often enough.

Some of the best omakase/sushi I've had in the Bay! Despite what Yelp previously said, they take (and basically require) reservations. I believe the rice of the nigiri is brown rice and the nigiri of the omakase comes pre-seasoned with soy sauce and wasabi. (I can't have wasabi but they were happy to accommodate!) The service here ranges from amazing to just friendly: one server spent the time to explain which of the nigiri on the table was on the menu but another didn't. A pretty solid place to come when you want a nice sushi dinner!
