Everything was 12/10. The service was amazing, and the food was high quality and so good. I highly recommend the chefs special nigiri pieces. Will definitely be back!

Amazing experience! The ingredients are extremely fresh, and every dish shows a great balance between quality and creativity. You can really tell that a lot of thought goes into each plate. I’ve been to Umami Omakase, which is run by the same chef, and the quality here is just as high. Both restaurants maintain an excellent and consistent standard. What I especially like about this location is the flexibility — you can order individual dishes and choose exactly what you want to eat, but if you’re looking for a more complete experience, they also offer an omakase plate. The service truly stands out. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every dish in detail, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, fantastic food, great service, and a place I would absolutely recommend and return to. Another detail I really appreciated was how thoughtful they were about parking. Their website clearly provides parking suggestions, which made things so much easier. Thanks to that, my friends and I were able to relax, chat, and enjoy our meal for over two hours, and we only paid $3 for parking. That level of consideration really stood out to me, especially since many other restaurants don’t mention parking at all.

Stopped in for dinner and was met with great hospitality. The dishes were presented beautifully and I enjoyed how each dish was described to me before I ate. There are both omakase service and à la carte sushi/nigiri/sashimi, so it’s perfect if you’re looking for variety. The staff also accommodated my gluten and dairy dietary restrictions, including providing gluten-free soy sauce :)

This place was a wonderful surprise in Boston. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, especially when it came to their extensive sake selection. The sushi was fresh and high quality, and the cooked dishes did not disappoint—chicken karaage, edamame, roasted corn, and gyoza were all flavorful and perfectly prepared. Definitely worth a visit.
