    Wonderful Omakase experience. Every type of nigiri we tried was fresh. We tried some of their a la carte hand rolls as well and were satisfied after it all. Definitely will plan to come back

    I think I went into this experience with a much higher expectation of what an Omakase dinner would be like. We sat at the kitchen counter with 6 other couples which was very cramped. The 2 chefs preparing the food were efficient, got the feeling that everyday they served the same Omakase. They didn't really interact that much with the guests which was a shame. There seem to be a lot of upselling going on by the other staff which was slightly annoying. We hadn't even finished our last sushi (weren't informed that was out last one, which would have helped) and they were already finalizing peoples checks. The food was decent & the fish choices ok, but def not out of this world...it wasn't a bad experience just a slightly disappointing one but that might have been due to my expectation being high. Wouldn't go back

    The sushi experience was amazing. My wife & I did the 17 course experience and everything was amazing. Really good sushi, ambience is super cool, and you get some nice views of DC.

    Music was very loud and had to consistently ask the chef what he was serving. Otherwise decent.
