What to Order
Eel (Unagi)
This tender, flavorful eel is a standout piece in the omakase, often grilled and served with a special sauce.
"I really enjoyed the eel, all 3 tuna cuts, the seared cod, and honesty every single dish I had tonight!"
Anna
Tuna (various cuts)
The omakase features multiple cuts of tuna, each offering a unique texture and depth of flavor, from lean to fatty.
"The sushi was amazing with some of the courses e.g. the lean tuna really surprising us with how delicious it was."
Clarice Alexandra
Appetizer Kaiseki
This four-item appetizer course, featuring dishes like Hokkaido scallops and baby abalone, sets a high standard for the meal to come.
"My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizer kaiseki the most!! Everything was delicious, it is definitely on the more pricey end but I would say it’s worth visiting at least once!"
Lily Lai
Seared Cod
A perfectly seared piece of cod, praised for its tenderness and rich flavor, is a memorable part of the sushi selection.
"I really enjoyed the eel, all 3 tuna cuts, the seared cod, and honesty every single dish I had tonight!"
Anna
Anago (Sea Eel)
A rare and beloved offering, this sea eel is a favorite among long-time patrons for its authentic taste and preparation.
"They are one of the few places that serve my favorite fish: Anago. Love the experience and the authenticity."
Roy
Toro with Caviar Sushi
This luxurious add-on combines fatty tuna with caviar, creating a rich and decadent bite.
"We tried all three caviar add-ons: the best was the toro with caviar sushi, followed by the uni with caviar sushi, and my least favorite was the caviar sushi alone."
