    The waiter was amazing. Great advice. The food was awesome. Sat in the back area and really enjoyed the area. Parking in the underground parking was worth it.

    Had the Spring special which was such an amazing deal! Sashimi was so fresh. The clam miso soup was the bomb! The chirashi sushi was the bestest, the layer of shredded shiso enhanced the flavor of the sashimi soup well. My friend and I loved it! And service was just awesome! Kudos to the staff and chefs!

    My Ohana and I had dinner to celebrate a birthday and it was great! Reservation was easy to do and when I needed to change the time, they had no issue doing so. Service was great, everyone worked together to serve the people. Food was delicious and to me the price was greatly reasonable. Food came out at a timely matter and the manager who I did not get his name, was really great! He came out to check on everyone, bussing tables, refreshing water/beverages and making us smile and laugh. He showed us his cool trick with flipping out drink without spilling it! That was cool. Mahalo nui!
