I came to this restaurant for my boyfriend's birthday as a party of 4 and was very impressed. I would give this place a solid 4.5.
I booked to have dinner at the sushi bar since some of us wanted the omakase sushi set.
The first impressions were great, interior is modern with Japanese touches, the serve ware premium quality, we were given warm towels & a free side dish shortly after.
2 of us ordered the omakase, one ordered the sushi course ($65), the other the toshi course ($85). We also ordered a tempura dinner, salmon dinner and a yellowtail sashimi.
All the sashimi were wonderful quality, very fresh and was soft. The foie gras sushi is lightly torched and rich. I felt the toshi course wasn't worth the extra $20 as you only get 1 sashimi plate and a cold meat plate extra. The yellowtail we ordered was a lot better than the course sashimi, so I think for $20 you could opt for things you'd enjoy more.
The soba with the course was delightful and a nice touch...makes up for the small portions in Omakase courses.
The tempura however has a lot of room for improvement, the batter was thicker and like a beer batter hybrid. I do appreciate their use of lotus root and green beans, you don't see those in tempura form.
The dessert with the sushi courses was a sakura mochi. It was authentic and yummy.
