We had two chirashi set and was pretty disappointed. Sashimi was very fresh but the portion size is really small for 40 and 49 bucks. We were barely full afterwards we bought a sandwich somewhere else lol

Classy Japanese sushi restaurant in a chic venue. They have lots of rare fishes that you can't get anywhere else, and they are so fresh... Yum... We had the sushi course, prepared personally by chef Hiro Endo himself. It's just out of this world delicious. And the staff is attentive with excellent service. It is pricey, but if you are a sushi/sashimi lover, you really got no choice. They have tasty fishes that are just not available elsewhere. You have to try it!

Just a really great experience eating with coworkers. Sushi is really fresh. The sushi chef also served us some samples I would have not tried on my own. I highly recommend eating at the sushi bar

Calm, quiet, peaceful atmosphere, perfect service, reasonably priced high quality sushi, and short wait times. The food was amazing, pretty much the best quality sushi you can possibly find in this entire area. Absolutely no complaints, and no reasons to complain. Five stars across the board.

Truly authentic sushi place, a family owned and operated Japanese restaurant. Try the sashimi salad and the chef’s recommendation. We enjoyed the entire evening and the waiters were very attentive and friendly as well. Will come again!

Used to recommend the place many years ago. 2nd visit after many years was quite disappointing. Many minor issues which I won’t even call details. Ingredients are not impressive and are not elevated either. Below average even calibrated for SF Bay.

i ordered set B and 4 pieces of tempura shrimp! The sushi set was very tasty and full of flavor as it is. I hope to visit again!

This is one of the best sushi and Japanese chicken dish I've had in my life. Food is outstanding. Definitely worth the price and visit.
