    Our chef was fantastic: considerate and wonderful and funny. However, we had a reservation and still had to wait 50 minutes to be seated. We understand it’s a holiday but the wait was tough with three young kids. Our server seemed harried—she was very sweet but got orders wrong and forgot items altogether. Members of our party were given dirty forks. Fortunately, we weren’t charged for the missed items. So overall the food and chef were great, but the management clearly needs more servers for bigger holidays.

    I am pretty snub when it comes to sushi, I have been to the best sushi places all around the world, including Jiro. I found this place by at yelp when I am searching for something else, oh boy am I happy. It is new and offered omakase at reasonable price for the value. There were 8 people at 5:30PM setting and everything was just perfect. All the staffs were very attentive and Chef Jay was great, he explained every dish and I can feel his heart and soul into the dishes. It's a experience you will never forget. I went with my teenager son who stayed there with me without complaints- he usually doesn't like to go out and he even appreciated the quality and taste the restaurant offered. I am definitely going back!
