What to Order
Omakase Experience
A multi-course chef's tasting menu featuring expertly prepared sushi and other Japanese delicacies, often including rare ingredients like real wasabi and Japanese wagyu beef.
"This omakaze was one of the best experiences my husband and I have ever had. Real wassabi and wagyu beef from Japan. This certainly was worth the price no matter what anyone here says."
Ashley
Uni Nigiri
Sea urchin sushi, available as an upgrade to the Omakase, known for its unique and fresh flavor.
"We had the option of adding the uni (sea urchin) for an extra 25$ and we don’t regret it. It was definitely unique but so fresh, and the staff took the time to come asked us about how we liked it or not after the meal."
Charlotte Biot
Negitoro Handroll
A handroll featuring green onion and tuna, praised for its harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
"I'm hands down an Uni person but our favorite tonight was definitely the Negitoro handroll (green onion tuna)....fantastic flavors and textures....an absolute symphony in the mouth."
Peter Chung
Wagyu Beef
High-quality Japanese wagyu beef, often featured in the Omakase or available as a halal steak option.
"The Wagyu itself was cooked very well, with excellent texture and doneness."
C Z
Mushroom Rice Bowl with Seared Foie Gras
A decadent and finely selected dish featuring a mushroom rice bowl topped with seared foie gras.
"Remarkably fine selection of sushi and sashimi, and a fantastic, decadent mushroom rice bowl topped with seared foie gras."
Donald Briscoe
Craft Cocktails (Mantha Ember, Toki, Shikoku Mist)
A selection of well-crafted cocktails, with specific recommendations for unique and delicious options.
"I had the Mantha ember which was delicious. I also had the Toki. That was delicious as well but it was a little too much liquid overall and my wife helped me finish it. My wife had the Shikoku Mist which she loved."

Inside Scoop
- The Omakase experience is highly recommended and often requires booking weeks in advance.
- Chef Hikaru, though speaking little English, is charming and makes the Omakase experience fun.
- Be aware that disposable chopsticks and plastic soy sauce dishes are used, which some find detracts from the upscale experience.
- The bar seating for Omakase offers an intimate view of the chef, but legroom can be tight.
- Halal steak options are available, but the tasting menu may not be fully halal-friendly without modifications.
