    This was my first time to an omakase and with Aung it was a great experience. Every dish was made with care and it tasted delicious. Perfect place for date night and have an enjoyable experience.

    My wife and I were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and had the best experience! We reserved the lunch spot and shared the experience with another couple from out of town, so it was nice and private. Chef was the best! Explaining every dish to us! We might have went over the time allowed because we all were just having a great time sharing stories with the chef! 10 out of 10 we will definitely be going back!

    Chef Aung is an awesome guy and his staff is lovely too. My wife and I had an absolute blast at this meal, but having been to numerous highly curated omakase experiences in the past, felt a bit let down by the food itself and value. For the cost, although we had a ton of fun, the food wasn’t worth it. I wouldn’t recommend this as your first time omakase experience, but I would recommend this as a fun and unique experience to get to know chef aung, have some drinks and eat some sushi.

    Aung is really friendly and personable and so is his staff. Sushi is fresh and delicious, and Aung has his unique take on common omakase dishes.

    Great experience in a modernized sushi bar. The creations were excellent. The service matched the quality of the food as well. It had a young hip vibe which is not typical for a sushi bar, but it was an entertaining experience. We'll definitely be back.

    Best Omakase we’ve ever been to, (includes multiple Michelin star restaurants). Aung and Sarah were super engaging, by the end of the evening it felt like a family party. Couldn’t recommend enough.
