The reviews for this restaurant are crazy high. It's an alright place and I'm glad I came to check it out (my bf and I went to the restaurant where the owner used to work), though I came with a party of 4 and I think we all agreed that this was going to be the one and only time we'd eat here.
I like the concept of the restaurant; that it's almost like an introductory way for non-omakase eaters to enjoy nigiri and sashimi without being overwhelmed by other more traditional and high-end spots. The ambience is a lot more relaxed, everyone looks like they're having a good time and chatting like how they normally would, which in a regular omakase restaurant I might feel a bit awkward to do due to the silence and seriousness of it all. Also a thumbs up to the waiters and waitresses, they were cool and attentive.
Downside of this place is that I don't feel the food itself is that outstanding for the price it's being sold at. I loved the shishito peppers (of all things), and everything else was unfortunately a bit lack lustre (we essentially ordered the entire menu). I was most disappointed by the wagyu beef - I think the sauce on it reminded me of chinese beef ribs my mom would cook at home growing up...
