First review here!?!? Happy to set the tone then. My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate her birthday. They're BYOB until they get their liquor license and have a $20/bottle and $3/can corkage fee at the time of writing. If you're looking for your run of the mill maki or sushi roll experience, this place isn't for you, because they don't have them. They do have handrolls (taco style) and the ones we tried were amazing.
The atmosphere is very modern with a touch of dark decor and elegance. The sushi bar is immediately to the right when you enter and is incredibly well lit, highlighting both the chefs and what I can only assume was a dry-aging box behind them that had many fish in it. They do all their omakase experiences here - which we wanted to book, but there weren't any more tickets available. We made due with a regular table and immediately noticed that instead of a traditional soy sauce bottle, they were using water droppers, which was a nice touch. FYI, if you're dowsing your sushi in soy sauce, you're doing it wrong!
Now, when I say I know good quality sushi, I mean I can look at a cut of fish and tell you what it is (in both Japanese and English), what part of the fish it came from, and how many days it's been used for service. So when I say that this is easily the best, freshest, and most reasonably priced nigiri I've ever had, I mean it from the very bottom of my soul. The service was incredibly fast, yet perfectly timed. Everything was so delicious that I couldn't stop ordering nigiri pieces, and ended up ordering about 10 pieces total. The Hokkaido scallop and full fat tuna (Otoro) were absolutely to die for and I ordered both twice. They even took a special request for Hokkaido Uni (sea urchin) + Ikura (salmon roe) which was absolutely perfect.
Everyone that came to our table was friendly, professional and showed us their best hospitality. Considering how great everything was so soon after a grand opening, this place will be a powerhouse in the neighborhood if it catches on. I for one, will be coming here as often as I can to see how they evolve with access to more seasonal sushi.
