High demand, had gintara (grilled black cod, marinated in sweet miso), Udon, Tatsumigura (Junmai Ginjo) Saki, flight of 3 other sakis. Their chef is a master, everything was perfect: fresh, balanced, interesting combinations, thoughtful presentations. The saki was light fruity, clean, slightly herbal, very smooth. Service was friendly and informed, good recommendations. Highly recommended, best sushi anywhere.

Lovely spot, quality food and diverse options. A little tight quarters but they make good use out of the space available. I was particularly happy with the quality of the eel, and am always happy to see hamachi kama on the menu!

We had a simply OK meal, nothing special. The service seems overwhelmed. Overrated, expect a wait and try not to sit outside with the sun grilling you BTW the drink in the picture was their version of an old fashioned - seemed like a canned drink over vending machine ice.

My first time dining here with my husband. We absolutely loved it. The space is cozy and inviting. Our server was amazing and had such great energy. The menu has a beautiful selection of both food and drinks. We enjoyed everything. The octopus and the udon soup were my faves oh and the vegetable tempura too! This is our new favorite place and will definitely be back.

I drove all the way from Toronto to check out this hidden gem! Had a few friends tell me about this cute restaurant tucked away in downtown Buffalo. The freshness of the fish and seafood here outshines some of the best places I’ve eaten at in Toronto! The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a date night or girls night out. The attention to detail from service to the variety in drinks is top notch! Definitely looking forward to stopping here again!
