What to Order
Omakase Experience (22 courses)
A multi-course chef's tasting menu featuring a wide variety of fresh, expertly prepared sushi and other Japanese delicacies, often including unique fish not typically found elsewhere.
"We had a great omakase experience. There were a LOT of courses. The price is a bit expensive, but worth it for the amount of quality food you are getting."
Justin Ho
Uni (Sea Urchin)
Fresh, creamy sea urchin, often available as an add-on or featured in a special tasting menu, showcasing different varieties like murasaki, aka, and bafun uni.
"The highlight of the night, though, was the uni. We were lucky enough to try murasaki, aka and bafun uni, and they were truly exceptional—fresh, creamy, and luxuriously briny in all the best ways."
Krista Gallo
Monkfish Profiterole
An unexpected and highly praised appetizer, this dish offers a perfectly balanced, rich, and delicate flavor profile.
"The monkfish profiterole was unexpectedly one of the stars—perfectly balanced, rich, and delicate all at once."
Krista Gallo
Abalone
Tender and clean-tasting abalone, prepared to highlight its natural delicate texture and flavor.
"The abalone was incredibly tender and clean, and the trout was buttery with just the right touch of umami."
Krista Gallo
Ankimo Puff
A standout dish described as an eggy cake with shrimp, offering a unique and delicious flavor combination.
"Loved the ankimo puff, those were the best, eggy cake with shrimp was also excellent."
