Carla B., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Nov. 17, wrote, "Dined here on the second night open so things were a little hectic, as one can expect with a restaurant opening. We ordered the omakase deluxe and then I added a ton of nigiri on top of that."

Yelper Giulia R. wrote, "All the fish is of incredible quality and the service has been outstanding! It opened less than a month ago and I've already been three times. I definitely recommend!"
