    I came with my best friend here and we were the last two that were seated. The staff here are really friendly, kind and accommodating. However they ran out of two fish that were supposed to be on the tasting menu and were replace with two other that was not up to par. We were really disappointed but we enjoyed the overall experience and the other dishes!

    This place was an all around disappointment. The food was not great. There were a few items that were delicious but the majority was not good. The chef was busy chatting with one of the customers almost the whole time and that was distracting. He was actually very nice when he turned his attention to us. I was disappointed and do not recommend.

    I used to come to this restaurant for the chef’s tasting menu and it was all nigiri and the chef prepared pieces for as long as you liked. It was amazing! This was a different experience where half of the meal was cooked food and nigiri served at the end with the option to purchase more. I wish there was an option to experience their food the old way. Also, a sushi dinner for two with a couple glasses of sake each shouldn’t be over $900.00. That’s just insane.

    I would probably not go back. Even though 85% of the food was excellent- but not 100%. The drinks menu is fun albeit quite pricey. The place has cool modern feel and a private conversation is possible. The service was efficient but I missed a personal touch. No coffee or tea was offered at the end.

    Service was prompt, on time, and all the staff were very attentive. They even went as far as plating things to fit a left-handed vs. right handed person. My drinks were always filled and plates were taken away at the appropriate times. I was really lucky to be seated in front of Chef Matt and to have the opportunity to watch an artist work on his craft. Along with his high skill, he was very knowledgeable and I appreciate that he saw I wasn't such a talkative person and let me eat in peace. The quality of the fish was fantastic and I had some flashbacks to being in japan eating sushi. The dishes were unique in that there were some twists and flavors that I hadn't considered before with traditional sushi ingredients. Thank you for a great dinner! I'm glad I finally got to experience your dinner service.

    This place is one of the best sushi restaurants in SF. Their omakase menu is a must, it will fill you up, you’ll try a bit of everything, each dish is explained by the chef or the server, the sushi master is preparing the sushi in front of you and makes the experience more memorable! Definitely will be back

    We did the Omakase lunch. Every dish was so delicious. All were favorites because every single course was so good and can't compare cause the flavors were so different from each other but the entire meal was all so balancing. The truffle ice cream dessert was to die for and the wagyu roll was so melting in the mouth!
