    One of the best experiences I’ve had since moving to DC! Chef Sean was amazing and the sushi was phenomenal. The ambience was incredible and the view of the Capitol Building really topped everything off. I’ll definitely be back!

    Wonderful sushi and atmosphere. Our waiter Sean was excellent, as was the manager. We wanted to order extra food at the end or our experience, and in exchange for moving from the bar to another table, they gave us free shots of sake! Would absolutely go again.

    Alexis was an amazing chef who made the experience so memorable. He spoke specifically about each dish before serving. The Whiskey Sour was also delicious! Such a great time, great vibe and amazing food! 10/10 would recommend for a night out. Don’t expect to be full though, expect to be satisfied and wanting a little more after!

    The experience was incredibly rushed, with everyone being pushed out of the bar within 45 minutes of the reservation start time

    This was my second time here and it most definitely didn’t disappoint. This time we had the pleasure of being the only ones served. We went with the 17 course upgrade and OMG Chef Sean made the perfect Bougie selections for us! We also enjoyed the sake flight which was a good pairing as well! I definitely plan on coming again real soon.

    Awesome experience! The chefs explained what we were eating very well and kept it a great atmosphere! Only suggestion would be to turn the overall music down as it was difficult to sometimes hear the chefs.

    If you like good sushi, I would not recommend this place. The service was good but the sushi was mediocre and the place was pretty dead for a Friday night. Seemed like a place you go to take instagram pictures.

    Possibly the best sushi I have had in DC, this was my second time. Same level of service and quality both times.
