Description

Operating with a hole-in-the-wall feel, the restaurant offers chef's choice omakase alongside a la carte menus. The dining room has no background music, making it a peaceful oasis for some, though others find the quiet uncomfortable. Service is attentive, though waiters may introduce set menus without pricing unless asked. While reviews highlight thick cuts of fish, diner feedback is mixed, with some praising the quality and others pointing to under-salted pieces, soft rice, or sandy clams.
