The best nigiri I've had and I have had it at a ton of places - the most ridiculous fatty tuna and yellowtail. Must orders. Service is excellent 

Business response:

Thanks, Joe! We’re thrilled you loved the nigiri and had a great experience. Hope to see you back soon!

Wonderful time and wonderful atmosphere. Was welcomed by a well dressed staff that took great care of me and my friends. Johnny made some wonderful recommendations and made us feel very comfortable at the bar so we stayed longer and ended up getting some food which was also amazing. 

Business response:

Thanks, Jared! We’re glad you had a great time and that Johnny took good care of you. Hope to see you again soon!
