The best omakase experience I’ve ever had. Chef Ken led us through a journey full of different flavors, temperatures, and textures. Each dish was unique and delightful, and I walked away perfectly satisfied. Chef Ken and the rest of the staff were super personable, and I had a great time chatting/joking around with them. It was quite expensive, so it will be a bit before I come back, but it’s in the books for sure.

This was such a nice experience, Chef Ken and the entire team were kind and attentive the entire time. When it comes to the actual food, definitely one of the best sushi and omakase experiences we’ve had in the city. We learned about the thought and intention behind every bite, everything was so meticulously thought out. Highly highly recommend and would come back :) we came to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary, and had a lovely time! Thanks again to Chef Ken and the whole team.
