We made reservations, as recommended. The outside of the restaurant wasn't clearly marked, which was slightly strange to me, but upon entering, the vibe was immediately cool. I immediately noticed the smell of sushi, not fishy, but fresh and lemony. You climb 2 flights of stairs and enter a really chill atmosphere. We sat at a table, but the best part was the bar area where you could watch the kitchen. Well sit there next time. We got drinks, very reasonably priced for Happy Hour. Some food items we got, the mushroom custard: this was my favorite thing! The flavor and texture was AMAZING! Get it! Also, the Scottish Salmon skewer: delicious and tender, the Wagyu tenderloin skewer: my boyfriend says this was his favorite taste. He got the sushi bowl, which was well worth the $18, boasting a wonderful assortment of fish, rice, sauces, and ginger. I got the pancake, which was super flavorful and huge. We can't wait to go back! Definitely would recommend trying some of the more unique items on the menu, the skewers, and that custard. I've never had anything like it."^^ . .
