Finally got to try the lunch here and I was so impressed! The food was fantastic and the service lovely. I cannot wait to go again, especially to try the dinner. I had the sushi combo and the fish was fresh and buttery. I feel like the amount of food was perfect for lunch and I love that you can add a hand roll or miso if you need a little extra!

This place is amazing!! My boyfriend and I got the Salmon Aburi Don, Negitoro Don, and Sakana Sashimi, I would definitely recommend all of these dishes. Everything tasted amazing and fresh, probably the best sushi I have had in Hamilton. The quality was amazing and the prices were fair for what you are getting. Will definitely be returning. 10/10 you should go here.

My girlfriend and I went here and we both love it so much. Great to have a place that is a la carte for sushi. The fish was high quality and every piece of fish was delicious. We got the Neggitoro Don, Salmon Don and the Sakana Sashimi. Probably the best place to get high quality sushi in Hamilton. I would highly anyone that wants to try good sushi as you can taste quality in their food. Also the Bluefin Tuna melts in your mouth. I am surprised we have something like this in Hamilton. We will be coming back here again.

A truly wonderful experience. I loved the kaisen don, which allowed me to try different sashimi dishes. The price was definitely worth the portion size. The full size Blowtorched Maccherel was more than I expected. I like the combination with yuzu vinegar. I'm so glad Hamilton now has such a great sushi restaurant; it's exactly what I've been looking for. If there's anything that could be better, it's the decor. Considering it's still in soft opening, I'm sure it will improve with time. I look forward to trying it again.
