   Great food, attractive dining room, lovely service. For guys like me who eat a lot, the portions feel a little small.

   Food was delicious, but there were ants on the adjacent wall and on our table. We told the manager about it and they offered to reseat us, and said they'd take care of the ant problem after service ended for the night. Our server was great and very attentive.

   Good food, nice people. A little pricey. Noise level was borderline intolerable.

   The omakase with Chef Uchi was impeccable. We left extremely happy.

   My friend and I went for happy hour and everything was great! The food was delicious and there were amazing options on the happy hour menu. We got the spicy tuna hand rolls, seaweed salad, and skewers. The server was extremely attentive and the bus staff was on top of clearing plates, filling water, etc. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! This was my first time there and I’ll definitely be back. I would like to try more sushi next time!

   We had such a wonderful time celebrating a birthday here with the omakase experience! 10/10 recommend. Everyone was so kind and accommodating and the food was to die for.

   While the sushi is very excellent, the noise levels are exceedingly high and just makes the whole experience uncomfortable!!! The service was OK. The value for what was received was just OK. Some of the dishes could’ve used some work. The miso cod came out warm and had a sauce that was noticeably cold. When they heated up the cod upon my request, they put additional new cold sauce on top. That just does not make any sense!!! I will probably give this restaurant another six+ months to marinate before returning and will come very early to avoid your ridiculous high noise levels!! Estadia - I miss you!!
