Ozumo San Francisco

The food at Ozumo was absolutely delicious. It’s a shame the Santana Row location near us went downhill, otherwise we’d still be dining there often. This time, we stopped in before a Giants game and enjoyed a sake tasting flight along with a dozen other dishes—everything was fantastic. The vibe was chill and, being a Wednesday night, the restaurant was pretty quiet. Our server was sweet and the runners were all on point. Thank you for a fabulous meal—definitely a million times better than ballpark food. We’ll need to come back more often!

Had really good food, very close and convenient to the hotel beside it. Service was a little hectic, but they made up for it. It is a bit on the pricey side. Has a big drink selection. The server was really nice. All the workers looked professional.

Unique and delicious menu items. The made my SO's birthday very special with a card and dessert. The miso soup is so delicious, I can't even understand it! Gluten-free items clearly marked and they use tamari rather than soy sauce. It is not dedicated space but I felt very safe enjoying their food.

Large open space with a very clean vibe. Bar with some seating in front, open high-ceiling table-seating in back. The sushi was outstanding. We had several different rolls - the rainbow roll was notably excellent. The Mizuna Salad was great - fresh fruit, mixed greens and pepinos with a light dressing. Their miso soup is subtle and perfect. The wagyu beef was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, though as others have commented, a bit pricey. Special mention to Army, who provided excellent service. If you are looking for high-quality sushi in the crowded SF market, try Ozumo!!

Great Japanese restaurant with a variety of options (including gluten free) plus a full bar that wraps around the center of the main level. We tried the habani (hamachi), kinoko (mushrooms), nasu (eggplant), and some sushi rolls. Everything was very delicious. The mushroom dish was our favorite. We would definitely return and recommend to others.

A bit overpriced for what it is. Ordered the Wagyu don and it was too oily and had too many shitake mushrooms. The taste and smell of mushroom overtook the meat. The staff is very professional and nice, and great atmosphere with clean interior. Coworkers ordered the lunch specials and it looked very disappointing in portions and visuals.

🍣 Ozumo: My Love Letter in Soy Sauce 🥢 If loving Ozumo is wrong, I don’t want to be right. This place is hands-down one of my favorite sushi spots in SF. The rolls are so good they should come with a warning label, and the miso black cod? Straight-up melt-in-your-mouth magic. I’d fight a ninja for the last bite. Also discovered the Hibiscus Palmar—a dangerously smooth drink that tastes like summer on vacation and now lives rent-free in my head. Great vibes, sexy lighting, and food that makes you consider licking the plate (don’t worry—I didn’t… probably

Very big sushi restaurant with a fromt that act as a bar, which makes it too loud. The sushi is excellent but being so big removes and nice atmospheres of a high end sushi place

Ozumo is an absolute gem--a true SF classic that never disappoints. The ambiance is sleek and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience filled with phenomenal Japanese cuisine. We hosted a company dinner there with a few colleagues from out of town, and it couldn't have been better. The staff? Incredibly friendly and attentive, striking that perfect balance between being helpful without hovering. As for the food--top-notch. We went all in and ordered a bit of everything: fresh, buttery hamachi crudo, perfectly grilled shishito peppers, rich tuna tartare, crispy gyozas, and the Ginza Gyu that melts in your mouth. And, of course, the sushi--each piece was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully crafted. Pro tip: Do not sleep on their sake selection. It's extensive, and every sip elevates the flavors of the meal to another level.

The food was not grate I only had one dish I truly liked and it was the nigiri special for valentines, I think 6 pieces Uni, ama ebi, hamachi and sake and Miyazaki which is meat and I haven't eaten meat since I was 17 Even though I didn't get my ama ebi head The Matsu 85 dollar lacked flavors but uni and sashimi were great. The nigiri sushi was bland My hubby order Tempura and it was sad not fluffy look at pic His brother trained in New York makes better tempura Age tofu not really fry but had plenty of ginger not very well made either and his karaage was saggy and didn't lol pleasant at all My sake was good Our waitress was great Great views So disappointed with the kitchen food my husband and he's Nikkei 1/2 Japanese

Food - The dishes were were larger than I expected, line the salad and fried chicken. Which made it great for sharing. Sushi options we ordered were tasty! The black cod was a bit salty for my taste but good still. I didn't need the sauce at all or it would make it a bit too salty for me. Service - Very attentive and fast. - Very kind waitress. - Great service. Ambiance - Great space for bar top drinks and can eat there as well. - Big restaurant space. - A bit darker in the bar area for dinner.

Came here on a weekday evening, and the bar was full, but the booths were almost all empty. Came during happy hour, which ends at 6 PM. Fresh fish, and good fish to rice ratio. This place has a dark and modern industrial vibe to it. Loved it for date night, will def be back! Btw, entrance is on Steuart St despite the signs on The Embaradero. It took me a few others going ack and forth to realize we were on the wrong side!

Tasty otoro, and friend warned me in advance that it was a pretty penny for a couple of bites...but if you appreciate beautiful fish, Ozumo is serving high quality "meat butter".

Sushi was good, this time around the wagu was okay. Requested med rare came back medium. Desserts were great. Celebrated our 36th anniversary here

I stopped by Ozumo during happy hour and was really impressed with their small bites! The Kyushu chicken karaage was delicious, with a crispy exterior and tender meat inside, plus the portion size was just right. I tried the crispy rice with salmon and it was a delight! The balance of flavors was perfect, and the fish melted in my mouth. The crispy and fatty contrast kept things exciting, We tried a few of the happy hour rolls, and while most didn't particularly stand out, the Ebi Tempura Roll was definitely the highlight for me. The Dohyo spicy tuna tartare was not on the happy hour menu but was amazing and in my opinion a must order. Although the portion size was tiny (seemed like it did come from the HH menu) It was fresh and flavorful which made it all worthwhile. I would suggest a different chip for dipping though... the taro chips it came with were a bit of a letdown, as they were thin and kept breaking. We also tried some Japanese whiskey, but it wasn't served in the proper cups, and they didn't have the right kind of ice, which took away from the experience a bit. Despite that, the overall ambiance was a highlight for me--dim lighting created a cozy and relaxed vibe, perfect for unwinding after a long day. There are plenty of options for both sushi lovers and those who prefer other Japanese dishes. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu and enjoy that relaxed vibe again!

Came here to celebrate a birthday with a party of 9 and it was easy to make a reservation the week of. The restaurant itself is dimly lit with a sexy vibe, really nice atmosphere and beautiful space for a celebration. I ordered the kushiyaki mori skewers to start, which included a beef, pork belly, and chicken skewer. I appreciated the smoky flavor from the grill, though I think they were all slightly overcooked. The tare and raw egg yolk was a good sauce to dip into to give the meat a bit more juiciness. The pork belly was my favorite out of the 3. My bf and I shared the rainbow roll and the hotate-san roll. The rolls are very small both on the fillings and toppings, which is crazy for the $25 price tag on them. The rainbow roll was okay, the snow crab on the inside was probably the best part. None of the fish on top were that impressive. The hotate-san roll was better, the scallop on top was fresh and sweet. Having just come back from Japan, the prices were shocking to me and the fish quality was not up to par with the price at all. Service was okay, though I thought it was strange that they didn't include any comped dessert for the birthday girl. There is definitely better sushi in the city with better value, save your money.

Ozumo is one of San Francisco's best Japanese restaurant. Located in walking distance from the ferry building, the views from the restaurant are stunning. I tried the teriyaki tori, the only chicken dish on the menu. The food was good and delicious. Ambiance and service is top notch and they deserve the fame they have in SOMA.

Despite not having a reservation, we were able to walk in and find a table. It was our first visit, and we were warmly greeted and seated in the main dining room. The waitress promptly arrived with menus and offered us drinks. The food was excellent, with the exception of the tuna tartare, which lacked a strong tuna flavor and was overwhelmed by other ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the Ozumo Unagi and Shrimp Tempura rolls. The atmosphere was pleasant, and everything appeared clean and tidy. Overall, we had a positive experience. While the nigiri and sashimi offerings seemed a bit overpriced compared to some other restaurants, they were still delicious. I would definitely return for the rolls.

I really don't mind paying a high pricetag for high quality food in SF but Ozumo was just a huge disappointment and I regret going here with a big group of my friends from out of town. I had heard so many amazing things about this place but I thought the portions were way too small, the food options not substantial, and overall very mediocre for the price tag. My friends and I ordered a bunch of apps (miso soup, edamame, gyoza, etc), sushi rolls, and some items off the robata menu. Honestly everything was mediocre and very very small portions. We felt that we spent A LOT of money for not much food and the quality of food you could have easily gotten at a different restaurant at a much lower price point. The service was great and restaurant beautiful but really not worth the $$$.

This is the perfect date night spot! It's very swanky and romantic, however could also be great for birthdays and nights out. The staff is very kind and helpful with suggestions. The food was fresh and tasty; my favorites being the uni squid nigiri and the eggplant, but the salmon was vastly overcooked; the persimmon salad was also refreshing. I will gladly be back!

Amazing! Hosted a private dinner for our company here in the Sake room. Everything was fantastic! Food was great and service exceptional. Special thanks to: Michelle Cheng (Director of Events) Danny Sprague (Director of Sake) Dominica DiMaggio (Executive Chef) Vanessa Webster (FOH Manager) Huge special thanks to Michelle who got the deal done with us over a weekend. We deeply, deeply appreciated this. We plan to do lots more events with you!

Ozumo in San Francisco has been my favorite sushi spot in the country since my first visit in 2012. The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere that instantly makes you feel welcomed and relaxed. The staff is happy and friendly! The nigiri here is incredibly fresh and of the highest quality--each bite is a reminder of why this spot is my favorite. The rolls are unique yet maintain a simplicity that highlights the flavors without drowning them in sauce. The focus is definitely on the quality of the ingredients. If you're looking for sushi that's both exquisite and true to its essence, Ozumo is the place to go.

Ozumo happy hour was spectacular. It was my first time at the SF location. There wasn't a lot of people when I arrived sharp at 5pm. We were given the option to sit on the outside patio or inside. (it smells kinda bad bc of the proximity to the pier) lol! Honestly, the happy hour menu is pretty limited and the bites are small. It gives you options to try a lot of bites. I ordered the: Giddy Geisha 10/10 idk how to explain the flavor but the liquor you could barely taste! Dangerous Miso soup - 7/10 nothing special and they don't give you a soup spoon lol Crispy Rice (Hitokuchi) - 10/10 my fav!! Spicy Tuna - 8/10 good but lacking anything special! It didn't taste that spicy Salmon Avacado - 10/10 overall, I would totally come here again. We loved it! This could be a post-work ritual after a day working in the city :P

After spending about 4 hours at this restaurant we kept waiting for it to get better and it never really delivered. Just ok. Overpriced. We arrived at around 5 for their happy hour and intended to stay through dinner for our reservations at 6. The staff is incredibly kind EXCEPT for the two ladies at the hostess stand. One lady wouldn't even look at us and the other acted like we were an inconvenience standing there to let her know we were here early but would do HH at the bar. The drinks are a good deal for the area for HH but they were weak. I did three Suntory highballs and didn't even have a buzz. Happy hour is only at the bar. We ordered hitokuchi, a tempura roll, two beef tsukune skewers, buta ba skewer, and the tempura mori. It's a little chaotic bc they couldn't tell who ordered what so we kept being presented with food we didn't order. Everything was ok. Nothing wowed. My least favorite was the veggie tempura and the hitokuchi. The raddish dipping sauce was watery and flavorless and the tempura was soggy. The hitokuchi also lacked taste. It's a salmon tartare but didn't have any of the bright citrus flavor. For dinner we were seated in the main dining room. Service was hit or miss but our server was really nice. There is a wait in between getting the menu and actually placing the order and then actually tracking down the waiter again when you wanted something. But we were actually shocked at how fast the sushi came out after we ordered it. Literally five mins later. The hot food took a little longer. We did a combo of sashimi, nigiri and rolls. For the price point I think the quality was lack luster. If you're charging $30 for two pieces of fish, it better be top notch but it was thin and just regular. For rolls we ordered the rainbow, the shacho, and the negitoro. The rolls were uneven, loosely rolled and on the small size even though ours were about 8 pieces. I can go on and on about how we even tried some kaarage but it was flavorless and soggy and then had two more beverages and it was still just ok. We kept ordering things to try hoping we would find something we loved and it was just ok. Nothing to write home about. If you're an experienced sushi eater I think you'll be disappointed by this place. Take the money and get an omakase instead. If you're new to sushi or looking for a trendy atmosphere this is a nice place. We saw a lot of corporate work dinners happening.

Came in on a Monday night around 8pm and it was surprisingly busy, but not full. There's a lot of seating, and the bar is open to first come first served. We ordered two sushi rolls, and most of it was delicious, except one bite for me tasted a bit off, not sure why. Carbonated water is free. Overall a pleasant experience; love the ambiance.

I absolutely loved the ambiance inside Ozumo. The interior design truly elevated my experience. It's very simple yet elegant, and for some reason, it captivated me. Their menu is straightforward, with many options for sushi, sashimi, and rolls. They also offer a variety of main dishes such as grilled fish, teriyaki chicken, and uni pasta (which sounds very delicious!), as well as appetizers. I ordered the aburi sushi roll, which is salmon and tuna with spicy aioli, and it was pretty good. The fish was very fresh, which is what my entire group noted about the quality. I just wish that the roll was thicker, especially since it is comparable in size to regular California rolls. The service was great. They were very attentive and answered all of our questions. The tables were a bit sticky when we sat down, and the waiter re-wiped them, but it seems like it's just the type of wood the table is made of. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a great dining experience!

I love Japanese food, so a friend invited me to this wonderful place full of great service and, of course, great food. From the moment you arrived, you feel special; the service is incredibly good and friendly. We ordered several things, but the Wagyu Tarutaru was definitely my favorite, I would have it a thousand times over. The place is beautiful with a gorgeous view of the bridge. Thank you Ozumo team

Great happy hour, i love coming here on lunch meetings, menu is diverse, they also do dinner as well, I would highly recommend to anybody wanting to dine on the waterfront

Went on a chill Friday for lunch with coworkers. The floor is a lot larger than I expected. Beautiful decor and artwork throughout the store. Menu is pretty extensive. Not only do they have specialty rolls and traditional sashimi but they also have ramen, udon, and chanko nabe. Wed split an app and three rolls. Was not too filling. Service was great! No issues there.

Came here for dinner on Valentine's Day. It was so insanely busy that took a good 10m of waiting after being seated for a server (who was not our main server) to approach me and take my drink order. I felt more bad for them than upset with them, Vday is crazy in the city. We were seated at the sushi bar in the back which had a great view of the chefs prepping orders. The food was, for the most part, insanely good. The Kinoko (mushrooms) that was recommended to us were definitely a highlight, we even ended up ordering a second one because our nigiri was nowhere to be seen yet. When it was finally our turn, we found that they gave us extra nigiri because our overall wait time was so long. Everything was fresh, sweet and buttery aside from the Fort Bragg uni (American uni), which tasted like straight ammonia. I was barely able to force down what I had already put in my mouth, but I was not able to bring myself to eat the second piece, and it was the only piece that went uneaten. Because this was one of the extra and free pieces that was given to us, and because they were so busy anyway, I ended up not flagging to the restaurant. For dessert we had the ichigo mousse which is one of the better things I've tasted. The mousse was delightfully strawberry forward, and the strawberry flavor tasted natural, not artificial or syrupy, while the toasted pistachios provided an amazing savory contrast.

Food was so good and service was wonderful. The staff knew it was my birthday and treated me extra special. free dessert and hand written card. I repeat, hand written card!!! Such a great experience

Omg need to go back here asap! This place is definitely pricey but it's soo good. Everything we ordered was so unique and I've never tasted anything like it. I chose the shacho roll which has lobster, tuna and mango. We also got the niku maki..amazing. Could have had 3 orders of it since it only comes in 4 pieces. For dessert we ordered the strawberry mousse cake, it was amazing! It also had shaved ice and candied pistachios. I've never had anything like it. I will definitely be back here. Can't believe I hadn't heard about this place before. I'm also curious to try out their happy hour.

Exceptional food, service, ambiance start to finish. You're getting Michelin Star experience at a non Michelin Star price. We left so incredibly satisfied! We were there to celebrate my son's birthday and the staff even gave him a card wishing him well. Love this place!

Really good steak and seafood menu. DEFINITELY get the tuna cones. And some wagyu, of course the A5 was or favorite. Solid sushi rolls so that's what we filled up on and tasted some of the more exotic fare. Great service and ambiance.

We arrived for dinner on a Saturday night and were able to be seated immediately. For nigiri we ordered a few options, including yellowtail, unagi, chutoro, and salmon. We were celebrating a birthday, and the waitress was kind enough to bring out a complimentary dessert for the occasion. The service was honestly the highlight of our visit, along with whoever was in charge of the playlist they were playing.

Ozumo San Francisco is a five-star experience. The staff was well informed on their menu, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The quality of food was exceptional. Each dish is prepared with the freshest fish, beautifully presented, and delightful to eat. This is a true gem of a restaurant, offering a great dining experience with outstanding service and top-notch cuisine. Highly recommended.

we made a last-minute reservation for Friday. Easily got an 815 reservation. upon arrival, we noticed the place was not as packed as we had seen it previously in years past. they see us at the very back at a four top when there was clearly a few booths available. It was a little pricey, and the portions were a lot smaller than your average sushi bar or as I have remembered it from before. But nonetheless, very tasty. The service could have been a little better since they weren't that crowded.

My Japanese relatives were visiting us in the bay area for four days, so we had a party of ten -- without a reservation -- and they still seated us without hesitation. We ordered several different small dishes, and we were ooooo-ing and aaahhh-ing the entire time. The food was beautifully plated but it tasted even more delicious that we could have imagined. Sashimi and nigiri were fresh and clean, the grilled skewers (kushiyaki) were juicy and tasty, and the tempura was crispy and delicious.

Came here for a business lunch and quite enjoyed the experience. We got the chicken karaage and shishito peppers for the table. The karaage was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside -- just as any good karaage should be. The shishito peppers came with the stems already removed, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the cod with the miso glaze. I appreciated the delicate flavors and the mizuna salad that comes with the dish was a nice counter balance. The dining area was spacious, though slightly on the warmer side -- would've been perfect with a window cracked open. Will be back!

The environment was super vibey, but I think the food is overpriced. Don't get me wrong the food was yummy, but I definitely felt like I could get better quality for the price. The gyoza tasted similar to frozen gyoza I get from the grocery store and the tofu was good but nothing memorable. The sushi quality was surprisingly fresh and delicious!

I stopped by Ozumo during happy hour and was really impressed with their small bites! The Kyushu chicken karaage was delicious, with a crispy exterior and tender meat inside, plus the portion size was just right. I tried the crispy rice with salmon and it was a delight! The balance of flavors was perfect, and the fish melted in my mouth. The crispy and fatty contrast kept things exciting. We tried a few of the happy hour rolls, and while most didn't particularly stand out, the Ebi Tempura Roll was definitely the highlight for me. The Dohyo spicy tuna tartare was not on the happy hour menu but was amazing and in my opinion a must order. Although the portion size was tiny (seemed like it did come from the HH menu) It was fresh and flavorful which made it all worthwhile. I would suggest a different chip for dipping though... the taro chips it came with were a bit of a letdown, as they were thin and kept breaking.

There are plenty of options for both sushi lovers and those who prefer other Japanese dishes. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu and enjoy that relaxed vibe again!

We made a reservation a few hours before and we were able to be seated at 6:30pm. We sat in the back dining room. The service was great and so was the food. The spicy tuna rolls was VERY spicy but good. The salmon crispy rice (HITOKUCHI) was UNREAL so good. The yellowtail roll was good too. The shishito mushrooms were great too! Highly recommend this for dinner

Manager was a disaster. Super rude and unprofessional. Very unwelcoming environment and assumes myself and friends were underage. She was snobby and distasteful, only come here if you want terrible service. She should apologize. If you hate your job on NEW YEARS, close the restaurant. I would never recommend this place , even to my worst enemy.

So it's a 4.5 star review We stepped into Ozumo on a Monday night with no reservations and were seated immediately. The waitress was quite attentive. Our preferred drinks were not on the menu anymore. So she suggested some other options which were quite good. I ordered Bucho specialty roll, excellent Edamame, good Shumai also excellent. Then came our main course. Hubby ordered the Ginza Gyu , very nice I ordered Gindara. The sauce was a bit too salty for me. For dessert we ordered Ichigo Mousse, a must try. The only reason I take .5 stars is that towards the latter part of our dinner the restaurant was packed and the staff was not enough. Also don't expect a conversation as the place can get loud. Must be something with acoustics. Other than that it was a great dinner.

We stopped by this place for happy hour when we realized that almost every other spot nearby was closed for a private holiday party. I wasn't expecting much from this high-end sushi chain, but our experience and quality (even just for happy hour) really taught us it was worth the hype! We got seated immediately and they allowed us the space to let our friends join at a large booth. A lot of options for happy hour: cocktails, beer, wine, small hot plates and sushi rolls. And they were all labeled for dietary restriction so I was able to easily find out which things were gluten free! The server even helped us make some good selections: I tried all the hh cocktails, miso soup, roasted mushrooms, spicy tuna, and shishitos and was pleasantly surprise by the taste and quality. The quality of the fish seemed great, so I definitely want to come back for an omakase dinner!

Really enjoyed my meal. Excellent sushi and rolls. Top-notch service and a nice atmosphere as well.

Great ambiance, the service was fantastic. It's a large space so where you get seated may affect your experience. The front part of the restaurant is darker and has a cool more private high end aesthetic while the back part of the restaurant has amazing views of the Bay Bridge. Great date night spot for the atmosphere; the sushi itself is nothing to complain about but nothing really stood out to me across their menu of rolls.

The food was good, but the service was terrible. We made a reservation a day in advance for a party of eight. None of us ordered an appetizer, most had a teishoku set or ramen. The restaurant was not busy at all around noon, yet it took the staff one hour to prepare everyone's meals. The floor manager apologized, stated that the delays were due to the "freshness of their ramen" -- whatever that means -- and promised to provide dessert which took another half an hour for two cakes and four mochi. Overall it took us nearly two hours to finish our meal, so I would not recommend this place for a work lunch. There are better options in the area to spend $40 a person.

Pretty disappointing experience on New Year's eve. Passing by before covid i remember it looking more swanky but it felt just alright inside. The bar is nice looking with all the lights. I like the big booth tables in the bar room, feels a bit more upscale in the other room tho. I was really disappointed by the gunkan sushi on the new years eve special menu tho. I didnt even take a pic of it. There was tiny uni on one and one was greenish colored which looked weird but my bf ate it anyway. They put a chunk of cream cheese next to a salmon piece.. this made me like wtf? At $42 price point. They had small a5 waygu piece but no other special fish. What was good was the soba with cooked duck on the new years eve menu. This was the best cooked and flavored duck ive had. The soba was nice with dipping and garnishes. Also ordered a5 waygu beef i didnt try it but i think bf said it was good. We got the strawberry mouse green tea cake? I dont remember but this was really good. Best thing we had. Would i come here again? Prob not. Very disappointed by that 6 piece assortment. The crowd here is nice tho.

Came in for sushi with a friend recently. The service and food was great! The dish that really stood out was the steak sushi roll. It was a cooked filet mignon steak on top of a piece of eggplant. One of the best sushi dishes I've had.. ever! Will for sure remember that experience every time I drive past the restaurant. Highly recommend checking them out.

Upon arrival it didn't feel welcoming. We had a reservation and offered us an option of seating and then told us we couldn't sit there. The restaurant was definitely not full either. Service was slow, restaurant was lovely inside and liked the decor, luckily food was good. We got some appetizers (edamame, mushrooms, and green beans), sushi rolls, and sashimi. Flavor and balance was good for everything and fish was fresh. I wouldn't go back and felt a bit overpriced but was happy to try a restaurant I hadn't been to before.

Had dinner here this week. First visit. Outstanding food and drink. I never knew there was Japanese Fried Chicken. Highly recommended.

The experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The staff was friendly, professional and attentive. The food definitely entertained my taste buds The cocktails had some interesting and funny names and were different in the best ways And the music definitely set the mood. Overall great experience and I highly recommend.

We always find a modern Izakaya Japanese restaurant to dine when we go on trips. This gorgeous restaurant is near ferry building (north beach pier 1), so we just walked from there for about 5 minutes. We like Izakaya restaurants because I don't eat most raw fish except roe and salmon. That's why small Japanese plates are more to my liking. The menu was extensive with good selections of gluten free. Rarely see Japanese restaurants care about gluten sensitivities so I was impressed. And they use tamari instead of soy sauce which was awesome too! We brought the reserved wine we bought at a wine shop earlier, corkage was a whopping $40! The lychee martini was so tasty and strong. For food we had miso soups, assorted sashimi & sushi, Australian wagyu steak, whole lobster and hamachi collar. The raw was very fresh, cooked items were flavorful in large portions. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our Japanese dinner at the sushi counter. A fantastic modern Japanese restaurant, we would visit again next time we are in town!

I had really high expectations for this place and the reviews were amazing, however, unfortunately it was just OK for me. I thought the rolls were really good, but not for the $24 per roll price point. They were good, but not that great. On top of that, we went on a Monday night, which seemed fine in theory, but they were actually incredibly busy. However, it still took over 45 minutes for our two rolls to come to our table. I think this place has a lot of out of town folks because it's right by the water and buy a couple of the big hotels- something to keep in mind!

Went with my son and had a nice dinner. Sat at the bar and had sushi rolls and some appetizers. Service was ok, not great as it was quite busy. Food was very good and freshly made. Enjoyed the meal and would go again.

Had date night here, and the food was perfectly fine. Service was on point. The restaurant is massive and very elegant. I thought the food to be quite pricey for the quality. Nothing we tried was super memorable except the hitokuchi if anything. Really enjoyed the crispy rice texture with the sushi.
