Absolutely amazing. I am so happy to have found our new sushi spot. We both got the Chef’s Omakase for $35 each. Absolutely great deal. The servers were so sweet and answered any of the questions we had. If I could give this place a 10/5 I would!!

Absolutely amazing Japanese restaurant! The sushi is super fresh, especially the misushiro (miso soup) — full of flavor and perfectly balanced. The shrimp dishes are also outstanding — juicy, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. The staff is friendly, the place is cozy, and everything comes out beautifully presented. Definitely one of the best Japanese spots around! Highly recommend! 🍣🍤

Nice cozy place with variety of Japanese dishes. Their unique sushi options are a must try. We loved the Kiss of fire roll. The noddles we ordered were not overpowered by soya so they were yummy also. Just would recommend not deep frying the shrimps in the noodles.

Great little gem with a storefront that blends into the rest of the nearby buildings. You wouldn't know it was there unless you were looking for it. Inside is cozy and quaint, but it is very small. I think there were either 6 or 8 tables, which are also small, and placed very close to each other, so you're practically elbow to elbow with other diners. The food though, I've had sushi from up and down each Coast and this place is easily in the top 5. I got the omakase (chef special, $35) and was surprised at the amount they gave me. The server was also very kind and warm. Each bite was delicious. I had never had uni before this, and it wasn't bad. If I ever visit Buffalo again I'm going to drop by again!
