This place is phenominal. You know a sushi place is real when the chef is picky with the ingredients. We were lucky to go when it wasn’t busy; the chef had the time to show us the fresh, lively crab before frying them! He also showed us the uni imported straight from Fukuoka, as well as other fish that you cannot find from the U.S. markets. I was really impressed with the selectivity of the ingredients sources!The atmosphere 5/5You can choose to dine either indoors or at the outdoor patio, and both are private and romantic. Not too dark, not too bright. It’s a perfect place for a date night, but the food is so good many people come alone too!The food 5/5I’ve been to countless sushi places throughout my life, but I never thought I’d find the best in Los Angeles. I think this place had fresher sushi than the places in Japan I’ve been to!Every. Single. Dish had a wow-factor. Trust me when I say these dishes taste better than they look. The sushi just MELT in your mouth, with the perfect texture and bounciness you can have with only real, fresh fish. Absolutely no fishy smell, the plating —even though the chef does them in seconds— is beautiful.Service 5/5You’re greeted as soon as you walk in, but be prepared for a wait when it’s busy.The chef had great pride in every dish, and you can tell he puts his heart into his food! I love it when passionate chefs genuinely care, and you tell by the food too.The waitresses were extremely sweet and attentive, even when it became busy. Some of the menus gets sold out fast, like the baby yellowtail, so you must come early! However, all the dishes were delicious, so just go with an open mind and you won’t be disappointed.I recommend ALL my friends to go :) my new favorite spot!
