| - Had a great dinner here over the holidays. Enjoyed the ambiance and food and will probably go back!
Pros:
-Nice ambiance, especially cozy in the booths. (Also, a small restaurant - make a reservation.)
-Amazing food and flavours! We had the omakase plus the kabocha and tai ochazuke. Some really unique dishes. For example, the kabocha dish was a lightly-fried ball of mashed squash in a delicious broth. The daily appetizer included fish, leeks, and pomegranate seeds. Overall, fish seemed to be of high quality.
-Good drink options, including beers, wines by the glass, and sake.
Cons:
-Seemed to be a lot of mackerel and sea bream on the menu. I understand the menu is likely based on what's fresh but since most of the fish probably came from outside of the city anyway, why not include another type of tuna, or some salmon?
-Some dishes were quite pricey for portion size.
-One of the nigiri pieces had a super-chewy bit on the end which wasn't very nice (and shouldn't be the case at this price point.)
-We had different servers throughout the evening, bringing out the omakase courses. Not a big deal but annoying when we wanted to order another drink etc. (it wasn't clear if we should try to flag down our original server, or order from someone else).
Other
-We ordered omakase and 2 side dishes which was just right - server recommended ordering omakase plus an additional 3 or 4, so I'd suggest ordering a couple and seeing how you feel.
-Be aware there doesn't seem to be much of a cost-savings for choosing the omakase. If I went back I'd order it again, since it's nice to try many different things, but it isn't really a 'deal'.
