Truly the best lunch value on the upper west side. I’ve been coming here consistently with my family for years now and there’s never been a bad or “off” dish.

The chef’s omakase selection never disappoints. The sashimi is stand-out without being clouded by the usual pretentious air found at other more “exclusive” sushi restaurants. The tempura batter is light and crispy. Can’t wait to return.

Great value as the sushi is reasonably priced yet the fish quality is exceptional. Service is okay, you won't always be seated at the time you reserved given how busy they are but I haven't ever waited longer than 10 minutes. Reservation needed for peak times, otherwise it's a long wait (1.5+ hr).
