"There needs to be a different word than “chain” to describe a series of restaurants with the same name with locations in Tokyo , Paris , and New York —especially when they deliver as consistently as this one does. See the hand-sanded hinoki wood bar, the precisely lined up 16 seats, and you'll be glad you dressed for dinner. If you’re the kind of person who thinks sushi is a bit overplayed—too many people after hit-you-over-the head ponzus, more fresh wasabi, and theatrically stern chefs—then this is your place. The menu is heavy on authentically Japanese ingredients, like AOC-level fatty tuna —nobody else in town has this kind of fish." - Hugh Garvey, Krista Simmons, Maxwell Williams
